Meet Your Therapist
I'm Val, the founder of Flexi-Move Massage and a Level 5 qualified massage therapist based in Newark-on-Trent. I work with people experiencing persistent muscle pain, movement restrictions, and sports-related injuries, helping them move with greater comfort and confidence through personalised, evidence-informed treatment.
My interest in movement began long before I became a massage therapist. As a former competitive gymnast, I experienced first-hand how the body responds to training, injury and recovery. That experience sparked a lasting interest in human movement and eventually led me to study therapeutic and sports massage at Level 5.
Today, I combine that practical understanding with professional training to help people recover from muscle pain, improve mobility and feel more confident in their everyday lives.
My Approach
I don't believe in quick fixes or miracle treatments. I believe lasting improvement comes from understanding how your body moves and why discomfort develops in the first place. Massage can help reduce pain and improve movement, but it works best as part of a broader approach that may include movement, self-care and practical advice tailored to your individual needs.
My aim isn't simply to help you feel better for an hour. It's to help you return to the activities that matter to you, whether that's working comfortably, exercising with confidence, playing with your children or enjoying everyday life with less pain.
