Andy Barber
My practice is founded on the belief that true health requires treating the whole person—body, mind, and nervous system—not just an isolated symptom. I am passionate about helping you move better, feel stronger, and get back to the activities you love without pain holding you back.
A Career Built on People and Purpose
With over 30 years in Project Management, I bring a wealth of experience in careful planning, problem-solving, and delivering real results. That meticulous, evidence-based approach defines my work as a therapist: I listen closely, identify the true source of discomfort, and provide targeted, effective treatment that supports your long-term wellness.
Bridging Performance and Compassion
While I hold an advanced Level 4 qualification in Sports Massage and Soft Tissue Dysfunction, my therapeutic focus extends far beyond traditional sports recovery. Whether you’re training for an event or navigating a complex health journey, my goal is to restore function, accelerate recovery, and support a confident, active lifestyle using specialised care:
Sports & Soft Tissue Therapy: Utilising advanced techniques to address chronic tension, resolve muscle imbalances, and identify pain-causing trigger points, helping you move more comfortably day to day.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): Gentle, specialised techniques to stimulate the lymphatic system, which is essential for reducing fluid retention, supporting immune health, and aiding post-operative healing.
Clinical Fascial Therapy (Fibrotherapy): Recognising that deep pressure can be counterproductive for highly sensitive conditions, I use a gentle, soothing, and science-informed approach to help those with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The primary aim is to calm the nervous system, reduce pain sensitivity, and manage widespread discomfort.
A Commitment to Compassionate Care
My dedication to specialised care is personal. Since my wife’s cancer diagnosis in September 2022, I have gained a unique, first-hand understanding of the physical and emotional impact of serious illness. This experience inspired me to specialise in Oncology Massage, allowing me to deliver safe, compassionate, and individually tailored care for those navigating cancer treatment and its after-effects.
Integrating Holistic Wellness & Upcoming Skills
To offer the most profound support, I continuously integrate new holistic techniques into my sessions:
Breathwork Integration: I am completing certification in Breathwork Facilitation to help clients regulate their nervous system, manage chronic pain, reduce anxiety, and support emotional and physical healing during our treatments.
Bowen Therapy (Coming 2026): I am close to completing my training in this gentle, non-invasive technique, which will soon be integrated into my practice to further support musculoskeletal and systemic conditions.
My goal is simple: to use advanced soft tissue therapy, combined with a thoughtful and personalised approach, to help you find relief and live your fullest life.
