Massage Therapist
Jannita Smith
Jannita is a fully insured ITEC qualified Sports Massage therapist. As a former British gold medallist in Sports Acrobatic Gymnastics, she has been exploring balance and movement for more than 30 years through physical theatre and circus acrobatics. In recent years she has trained with top practitioners of paired acrobatics, tumbling and hand balancing including movement expert Ido Portal.
Her own experience has made her keenly aware of how untreated injury can lead to a prolonged healing process as well as possible further physical dysfunction.
Jannita focuses on the cause of musculoskeletal pain and functional limitations and designs individual treatments for her clients. In addition to her range of sports and deep tissue massage techniques, she provides knowledge and understanding to her clients about how their bodies respond to injury and advises on stretching and strengthening exercises to aid recovery.
Jannita is a qualified teacher and has worked internationally in South East Asia. She also has a Masters degree in Creative Writing from UEA. She writes with insight and humour about attitudes to fitness and movement culture.
Jannita is registered with the Federation of Holistic Therapists.
