Her experience and extensive post-grad training enables her to provide fast pain relief and injury resolution to enable swift accomplishment of individual goals from being able to pick up the kids or sit in a long meeting to doing an ironman triathlon or running an ultra marathon. ‘Lucy has made a great impact on my training Ed Drake, GB Ski Team She uses hands on techniques like joint manipulation, massage, acupuncture and taping intelligently applied to release restrictive structures and mobilise stiff joints.
