Suzy Hawkins

As a registered nurse, Suzy has been treating people with injuries and illness for almost 20 years.

She has also been competing in sports since she was 10 years old, winning junior national championship medals and earning a place in the national junior development team in sprint kayaking. As a senior, Suzy made it into the full elite Great Britain marathon kayak team, representing GB and winning medals internationally.

In her late 20s Suzy took up triathlon, and made it into the GB age group team in her early 30 again winning international medals.

Since having children, Suzy simply enjoys taking part in sports on a recreational level. Running, cycling, and triathlon.

It is this background that helps Suzy understand the issues faced by elite, age group, and recreational athletes alike.

During her 30 years in sports, Suzy has benefited from receiving some great massage on tired legs, when training for things such as IronMan, and recovering from Marathons.

Returning to running after 18 months out with injury, and being nervous of setbacks, it was so reassuring to see a therapist regularly. They got to know her body and the way it functions incredibly well, and were able to identify and rectify arising issues. This meant Suzy was able to continue taking part in the sports she loves – running and triathlon – as well as provoking an interest in Sports massage.

Sports massage has made such a huge positive impact on her life, now her passion is keeping you guys doing what you love to do.

Her next aim is to train as a sports therapist, as she is always looking for ways to improve the service delivered to you, the client.
