Jess's Sports Massage Therapy Story 🚀

We recently caught up with one of our level 4 sports massage therapy graduates, Jess Oldknow Sports Massage Therapist to find out how her business is thriving! 📈

Jess came to us for her level 4 sports massage therapy course and was an excellent addition to our weekend crew! Since qualifying with us, Jess has been working within clinic as a level 4 specialist, but her own private work became too busy so she has transitioned fully to her own business in Culceth, Warrington 📍

Jess balances her busy schedule with her equestrian work, and treats a range of clients from professional fighters to the general public, offering a range of treatments from advanced sports massage, cupping and even offers clients access to Therabody recovery boots 🔥

It’s awesome to see Jess putting into practice what the skills she developed on the level 4 course with us in Manchester, and we’re sure her clinic is only going to get busier and busier!

🌟 The Importance of Continuing Your Professional Development as a Personal Trainer 💪

In the ever-evolving fitness industry, the journey doesn't end with qualifying as a PT. The key to long-term success lies in committing to continuous professional development. Here's why it matters:

1️⃣ Stay Ahead of the Curve: Continuing education keeps you updated on the latest research, trends, and advancements in fitness. It ensures that you provide your clients with the most effective and evidence-based training methods, allowing them to achieve optimal results.

2️⃣ Expand Your Expertise: Professional development opens doors to new areas of specialisation, such as corrective exercise, sports performance, or nutrition coaching. Expanding your skill set allows you to cater to a wider range of clients, increase your marketability, and differentiate yourself from the competition.

3️⃣ Build Credibility and Trust: Investing in professional development demonstrates your commitment to excellence. Clients value trainers who continually improve their knowledge and skills, and they're more likely to trust and refer you as a result.

4️⃣ Personal Growth and Inspiration: Professional development isn't just about acquiring new knowledge—it's also an opportunity for personal growth and inspiration. Workshops, conferences, and networking events connect you with industry experts, foster collaboration, and ignite your passion for your profession.

Make professional development a priority on your fitness journey. Embrace the learning opportunities, seek out mentorship, and continuously evolve as a personal trainer. By investing in yourself, you'll not only elevate your career but also empower your clients to achieve their fitness goals.
