Tris is a man with many talents, starting out as a trainee equestrian eventer. He completed a more in-depth learning course than most, studying massage and soft tissue therapy training with the Institute of Sports and Remedial Massage therapists in London – this included over 100 hours of hands-on massage training and exams with case studies. As a partner with Amanda Marsh, he has long been aware of how physiotherapy can really improve people’s lives and has enjoyed finding the same with his regular clients using hands-on soft tissue techniques. Tris says, “massage encourages width, depth, length and muscle elasticity, supporting posture and injury prevention, enabling everyone to do the things they love to do for longer. Sports massage is for everyone, not just athletes. As a therapist I’m always in control of what goes on in the therapy room, as a client you are always in control of the depth and pressure applied. I can release your tension and improve your wellbeing … I am also an actor but try not to hold that against me!”
