Biography: Phaedra Georgiou Dip. LSSM, MISRM

Phaedra had worked within the fitness industry for over 20 years before qualifying as a remedial massage therapist. Although she worked as a therapist for 10 years her interests always lay in the sports side of the industry, having been involved in athletics and netball throughout her academic years.

Whilst working in middle management at Central YMCA, London, Phaedra qualified as a fitness instructor in 1992 and taught classes for several years and also qualified and worked as a lifeguard at the YMCA

Phaedra left the YMCA in 2000 and joined Portobello Green Fitness Club in the position of Deputy Manager. After several years she ventured back into massage but her love of all sports and fitness steered back towards sports massage.

In February 2004 she trained and qualified with the London School of Sports Massage, Regents Park, and, for the duration of her training, worked with an American Football team, the London Blitz.

After working at a renowned physiotherapy clinic in Clapham and the BUPA centre in Canary Wharf Phaedra joined The Practice at the beginning of 2005. Phaedra’s client base is a combination of people that the physiotherapists believe will benefit from deep tissue massage, soft tissue release, and those that have muscular tension brought on by sport or stress.

Phaedra has had the opportunity to take part in many diverse and exciting events, including working with the French Parkour team whilst filming “Jump Britain”; on the sets of commercials and films, and at large corporate events for companies such as Microsoft, Ernst & Young and BUPA.

Phaedra is passionate about her work and is constantly furthering her knowledge through reading and formal training. Thus benefiting her clients. Phaedra undertook further study in myofascial release (a deep release of connective tissue throughout the body) and incorporates this into her treatments to enhance her practice.

Phaedra in her leisure time runs regularly and loves weight training.
