Meet Your Therapist
Welcome!
My name is Chris Lawrence, I am a former Professional Acrobat turned Sports Massage Therapist.
Amidst the C-19 Lockdowns I re-trained as a massage therapist (graduating 2021) and practiced Sports Massage in clinics alongside my acrobatic career up until the Summer of 2026
I am lucky to have had the pleasure of performing around the world alongside my wife for 10 years, working for prestigious companies such as Celebrity Cruise Lines, Princess Cruise Lines and Cirque Eloize.
Now that my wife and I are no longer performing Acrobatics, I am putting my experience to good use through my Mobile Massage Services.
My Massage Training:
I re-trained as a Sports Massage Therapist during 2020 after being unable to perform in the COVID-19 epidemic. Thanks to long meeting times between classes I was able to attend classes in person and gain hands on experience. I am proud to say that I graduated my courses in 2021 at Distinction level and was immediately able to find work as a resident Sports Massage Therapist for two separate clinics in the Ipswich area.
I was able to use the high volume of clients in those clinics to hone my skills through working with the young and elderly as well as across all body types.
After settling into the clinic workstyle I then took my training further with Continued Professional Development courses in Cupping and Acupuncture. I am always aiming to take more CPD courses in therapies that will enhance my practices
After working at each of the clinics for almost 2 years, I stepped away from them to take a 10 month Cruise Contract. Upon returning home, I decided to keep my autonomy and go solo to better afford me flexibility in my work life.
My Acrobatics
My wife and I trained and preformed together professionally for almost 16 years. We were lucky enough to have performed all over the world, primarily for the larger Cruise Lines.
In 2019, two major injuries almost ended our careers, frustrated at the lack of care we each received post injury I began investigating rehab for myself and Iona.
I had long been interested in Sports Massage Therapies since our training days knowing that one day it could offer me an alternative career. The serious nature of our injuries led me to consider Sports Massage earlier than we anticipated.
Performing as a Professional Acrobat has given me valuable insight into the bio-mechanics of the body.
I draw upon my own experience from personal injuries and those of friends/colleagues
