Hello, I’m George Timby, a fully qualified Sports Massage Therapist with a Bachelor of Science in Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation.
My journey into sports therapy began after a serious football injury that led me to discover a passion for rehabilitation, strengthening, and conditioning. After undergoing surgery and sports therapy for my knee, I experienced first-hand the benefits of effective treatment and recovery, allowing me to return to the sport I love. This inspired me to dedicate my career to helping others overcome their injuries and achieve their full physical potential.
Growing up in Heanor, I played football for Heanor Town and Derby County Community Trust during my college years. Alongside football, I found a love for running and trained for my first marathon in my second year at Derby College. Unfortunately, the combination of these activities took a toll on my body, resulting in a knee injury that required surgery. However, the rehabilitation process not only restored my fitness but sparked a passion for helping others recover and regain their strength.
As a sports massage therapist, my goal is to tailor treatment to each client’s specific needs—whether you're recovering from an injury, aiming to improve performance, or simply seeking relief from everyday aches and pains. I use therapeutic techniques designed to promote recovery, reduce pain, and improve mobility.
Sports massage therapy isn't just for injury recovery—it’s also for injury prevention, a concept known as Prehab. My goal is to help you prepare your body for whatever life throws at it, whether that’s a demanding workout, a long shift at work, or an active lifestyle. Through targeted massage therapy, I help keep your body in optimal condition, ready for action.
If you’re looking to recover from an injury or enhance your physical performance, I’d be honoured to help you reach your goals. Together, we’ll work towards getting you back to full fitness so you can do what you love—without pain holding you back!
