About me
Lyndsey Pennington
I am a certified clinical, remedial and sports massage therapist with a BTEC Level 5 Professional Diploma in Soft Tissue Therapy and Remedial Massage from the London School of Sports Massage (LSSM). As a graduate of LSSM I am also a member of the Institute of Sport and Remedial Massage (ISRM)
​
Whilst working towards my diploma I decided the direction I wanted to go was towards Pilates as a means to help people prevent injuries rather than just treat them. I am also a STOTT certified Pilates matwork instructor and APPI level 3 refomer Pilates instructor. For more information on Pilates and how it can help you then check out the section on Pilates. I think it is amazing and has completely changed the way I train myself.
I also have a BSc(hons) Sport Studies and Coaching Science and have worked in fitness for over 20 years. I qualified as a personal trainer in 2001 but I've always wanted to be able to help people on a different level and work with them to recover from injuries and improve postural function.
​
By combining my knowledge of both soft tissue therapy, Pilates and personal training I am able to both treat soft tissue problems but also help with injury rehabilitation by giving exercises and advice to get you back to fitness.
​
In my spare time I enjoy running and weight training. I've run 2 marathons, as well as other distance road and trail events, but my real love is obstacle course racing and try to do a few of these each year.
Additional learning through CPD courses and workshops I've completed.
