Relevant qualifications
I studied as a Nutritional Advisor alongside Anatomy, Physiology and Body Massage and enjoyed it so much that i went back full-time to study the old Holistic Therapies Diploma (Advanced Massage, Body Massage, Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Counselling, and Business studies) before gaining further qualifications in Sports Massage Therapy, Advanced Sports Therapy, Functional Rehabilitation, Care of Medicines, Ultrasound, Pathology, Taping and Strapping, Equine Taping and Acupuncture Techniques for Sports Therapists (this list is by no means exhaustive).
In 2004, i started training in advanced therapy techniques to improve my knowledge and clinical practice in assessment, treatment and rehabilitation in a sports medicine setting encompassing soft tissue techniques commonly used in Physiotherapy, Osteopathy and Sports Medicine. After a further 10 advanced courses, including spinal manipulation and neurological testing i became a Bodymaster Method® Practitioner in 2014. More recently in 2018, I studied a further 42 modules to be awarded the FIFA Diploma in Football Medicine.
Having refreshed my knowledge of spinal biomechanics, along with pelvic and sacroiliac dysfunction during the first lockdown, I enrolled on a LIVE 6 day cadaver dissection course and I am currently studying with the National Academy of Sports Medicine to be a Corrective Exercise Specialist.
Methods and ideas change and must constantly be updated so i undertake regular CPD with leading surgeons, Drs, sports medicine lecturers and healthcare professionals, accredited on-line courses and further reading/self study.
Previous healthcare experience
I have previous nursing agency experience in community, domiciliary, palliative care and residential settings with the elderly and young adults before undergoing further training to support those with learning difficulties, epilepsy, and paraplegia as a Senior Support Worker at HFT, Milton. I was also part of a therapy care team in F1 on an ad-hoc basis for four years.
Previous clinical practice
I worked in the Peak Sporting Performance Clinic at Oxford University Sports Ground from 2008, where i remained for many years gaining valuable clinical experience assessing, treating and rehabilitating many variants of athletic injuries from the 80+ University Sports Clubs/Teams that have access to the clinic along with a diverse cross section of the general public , being fine tuned by The Bodymaster and eventually becoming his senior therapist in The Bodymaster Clinic.
My duties included running a drop-in injury assessment clinic, which acted as a triage for self help, treatment bookings, taping, ultrasound or referral.
I now continue my work extensively in private practice in Stanford in the Vale, Oxfordshire.
Denise has worked with client's competing successfully in various sporting disciplines, many internationally, GB athletes and Olympians. She has been written about in a therapy context in national papers, magazines and been interviewed on live radio about Reflexology.
Denise continues to support the Bodymaster - John Gibbons, in his quest to make learning a difficult subject a little easier to understand for therapists from various backgrounds around the World. She appears in numerous medical training videos on YouTube and 7 therapy books to date demonstrating dysfunction and corrective exercise.

NOTE: I treat a wide cross section of the general public encompassing all ages Therefore, you don't have to be a sporty individual to see me because the mechanism of pain and injury is the same for us all. Indeed the non sporty low activity individual may need more help and take far longer to repair and rehab.
