My name is Steve Bowerman, it was my interest in health and keeping fit that made me evaluate my career. I began my journey as a therapist in 2008 by enrolling on an ITEC Level 3 Holistic Massage course that would give me the qualifications I needed for sports massage, it also gave me the foundations on which to build my career. 

 

On completion of the course and gaining my qualifications I enrolled on a level 3 sports massage course and quickly followed that with level 4 sports massage, I had a goal, which was to be qualified at level 4 sports massage so that I could apply to be a volunteer at the London 2012 Olympics. I did not expect to get in, I just wanted to be qualified so the I could fill the application form in. To my surprise I was invited for an interview which was a massive achievement, I would have been happy if that was as far as it went, but I was offered a role in the athletes medical team for rowing and canoe sprint.

 

After London 2012 I continued to volunteer for other major sports events and I have been part of the medical team providing sports massage at the

 

London 2012 Olympics at rowing and canoe sprint at Eton Dorney and their athletes village at the Royal Holloway University

Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh at the diving

2017 IPA World Para Athletic Championships in London

I am a member of the Sports Massage Association (SMA) and work to their code of ethics. Being able to offer a range of treatments benefits the client as different techniques can be incorporated into a treatment if required.

 

My aim as a therapist is to give the best treatment possible so that the client gets the maximum benefit possible and their expectations met whether it is for relaxation, de-stress, general well being or for a particular injury. I have a desire to keep learning and continue my progression as a therapist.
