Simon has been a concert pianist for most of his life, as an accompanist, duo pianist & soloist. He still performs regularly in recitals or concerto performances.

Back problems early in his career forced him to look for ways of dealing with pain whilst performing. This was the beginnings of Simon's long-term interest in fitness and the balance between tension & relaxation, muscular control & movement. More recently, Simon qualified as a massage practitioner (specialising in sports massage) in order to explore the relationship between muscles that allow us to move our joints, and how to ease the tension caused by that very movement. Simon's Maldon/ Essex based sports injury clinic opened in 2010.

Simon is registered with the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council and is a member of the Institute of Sport & Remedial Massage.

Qualifications: BTech (Level 5 Sports & Remedial Massage), DipLSSM (Sports & Remedial Massage), DipITEC (Holistic Care).
