About Me
General
My name is Stephen Hughes and I am qualified as a sports massage therapist as well as training as an elite athlete in Henley-on-Thames.
I have been in and out of injury for the past few years and have experienced a whole range of aches and pains. As a result, I have gathered a better understanding of both the physical and mental challenges of injury and pain. This experience is beneficial not just for my own sporting development but in my role as a sports massage therapist. It has helped me understand the perspective of my clients which has, in turn, created a more wholesome and caring support pathway when you visit Hughes SMT.
Sports Massage Interest
From early in my education I enjoyed Biology, P.E. and Anatomy. I developed my knowledge in the subjects when choosing to do a Sport Science Diploma at Henley college, in which I achieved a distinction in all related topics. While studying I spent time working alongside a physiotherapist at Leander Club (an elite rowing club in Henley).
After finishing this qualification I began my journey specialising in massage. I completed 3 courses: body massage, sports massage level 3 and sports massage level 4, again achieving distinction in the latter.
Rowing Career
I have been active from a young age by doing most sports that are readily available in the UK. I have been rowing for 6 years and have won at international events such as Coupe de la Jeunesse for GB and Henley Royal Regatta as well as racing at the World Championships.
As stated above, I have been through many injuries so I have grown a better understanding of both the physical and mental challenges of injury and pain. I find this to be very beneficial for my sport as well as my role as a sports massage therapist.
