Meet the Remedial Massage Therapist

  • Remedial Massage Therapist
    Dip. Remedial Massage

    Before entering the world of massage and wellness, Raff was an international volleyball coach and player in both indoor and beach settings and spent a significant part of his life representing the Mexican National Volleyball team in numerous international and pre-Olympic events.

    As a former high-level athlete, Raff understands the challenges of pushing muscles to their limits for peak performance and the potential consequences involved. Recognising that these issues could also affect regular individuals due to the repetitive overuse of muscle groups and joints in their jobs, he decided to leverage his professional sports experience.

    Drawing on his athletic background, Raff excels at understanding movement patterns and the physical demands associated with daily activities. This enables him to apply his knowledge effectively to both athletes and non-athletes alike.

    In his role as a qualified remedial massage therapist, Raff believes that successful treatment begins with a clear understanding of the client's activities that could lead to chronic injuries over time. This allows him to customize treatments according to individual needs.

    Raff values open communication in a relaxed atmosphere and incorporates a diverse range of massage techniques and modalities into his practice. Every single client is unique and should not be provided with a standard massage routine. Raff will work with each individual to help improve your physical performance and support you in your journey of relief from pain, tension, and stress.
