About RS Sports Therapy
Run by qualified sports massage therapist Roz South, we are based within our own private clinic in Sellindge, which is easily accessible from Ashford, Hythe and Canterbury. We offer a range of services aimed at helping anyone access sports or deep tissue massage therapy. There’s plenty of free parking available on site.
Roz started her Sports Massage training shortly after a personal tragedy led her to swim the English Channel with 3 teammates for 2 charities very close to her heart. Early into her training she developed a shoulder injury and with the help of regular sports massages was able to continue training.
The experience left Roz with a keen interest in the mechanics of movement, a new passion emerged and alongside her swim training she began her Level 4 Diploma in Massage Therapy for Sports. Roz qualified in the summer of 2021 shortly after completing her swim.
