Dan Beaumont’s Bob Graham Round

I had to pleasure of supporting Dan on his Bob Graham round (the first of his 4 of the UK Big Rounds) as a greater project with Mind Over Mountains charity supported by Inov 8, Silva & Primus.

I was actually supporting as a photographer, but when Dan was suffering with a bit of classic runners knee I had to drop the camera, lie him on a slate wall & get to work while he munched down some blueberries. He went on to complete the Bob Graham round within the 24 hour window. An incredible project to be a part of.

My Services

  • Often thought of something quite intimidating by some, sports massage could range from a good deep flush out of tension in your muscles to an analysis & plan of attack to help your body on its way back from injury.

  • A good deep tissue massage is mostly in the desciption, but here’s something to give you a better understanding of what to expect. Deeper pressures, at a slower more grounding pace. Allowing time to breath & soften into the massage, with a greater holistic awareness.

  • Generally I only offer this at my Clifton location as it’s a little more zen, unless you’re totally fine with the soothing sounds of people dropping gym weights. A holistic massage is generally more gentle pressures, however I try to make sure you leave still feeling like you’ve had a massage. I’ve heard too many clients say “they don’t just want to be tickled”. You’ll leave thoroughly relaxed, mentally & physically.

  • My approach to massage is to be understanding & flexible in what you need as a client. If you book a sports massage, but you also need to leave feeling relaxed, then that’s what we’ll aim to do. I always aim to tailor the massage completely to what you need in that moment.
