About
James Hurst - Sports Massage Therapist in Cranbrook, Kent

I am based in Sissinghurst and I'm a professional Level 5 Soft Tissue Therapist & Medical Acupuncturist with a passion for helping people. My main focus is to improve your body's soft tissue and correct functional imbalance and movement through fascia release. Helping you move and feel better.
I founded BodyTherapy.Health to bring you an innovative system of therapeutic techniques developed to address the body as a whole, rapidly eliminating pain, improving mobility, restoring impaired function, reducing recovery time & optimising your performance. All services are tailored to suit everyone, from new Mothers to Musicians and Athletes to Office Workers.
You want to know what actually happens in the room. I start by looking at how you move. I check your posture, your range and where you hold tension. I work out what your body needs that day. The treatment builds from that. I use techniques like deep tissue work, myofascial release, dry needling or cupping when needed. You leave with a clearer sense of what is going on in your body and what will help next.
With a background in professional dance and fitness, I've always been fascinated by the body and how it works. After many years of working within the charity sector as an operations director, I felt it was time to get back to what I was passionate about - the body. I was keen to continue giving back so I retrained as a Soft Tissue Therapist.
