Hi, my name is Fredericka Ellis de Bootman, I am a level 4 ITEC qualified Sports massage therapist. I have spent 6 years working in a gym and Spa setting, and I am now working Self employed at Breckland Osteopaths, in Swaffham, Norfolk. 

As a massage therapist, I initially trained in holistic massage of Aromatherapy, Reflexology and Swedish massage. I found I was really rewarded by individuals benefiting from the relaxation and pain relief of traditional holistic massage.

 I went on to study Sports massage therapy to learn to offer a more tailored experience, suitable to clients with more individual needs. I like to offer clients a personal service for their own goals, this might be to continue with their favourite hobbies, such as dog walking or gardening, through to sporting endeavours and injury recovery.

I also work at our local NHS trust as a therapy assistant, helping people to engage in mobility after elective or traumatic orthopaedic surgery. This has been a fantastic experience, helping me to learn a wealth of knowledge on people's journeys prior to and after their surgeries.

I have specialised in running gait analysis, rehabilitation for chronic back pain and kinesiology taping, as well as massage modalities including hot stones and lymphatic massage.

I have a professional membership with The Sports Therapy Association, where I can link to industry standards of practice and research massage skills, that I can train in to improve my skills to the benefit of clients.

I am currently an active mum of  three, balancing work, family and time for my own hobbies( gardening and cycling). I have enjoyed multiple sports ( climbing, canoeing, distance running and horse riding).
