After qualifying as a Level 5 Soft Tissue Therapist with The Soft Tissue School, I joined The Clinic team. This has given me the fantastic opportunity to work with a variety of clients, from athletes with an injury, to those wanting to regain pain free movement. No two days or clients are the same and this variety is what attracted me to Soft Tissue Therapy, along with a keen interest in health and movement optimisation. I get a buzz out of seeing clients re-gain better movement, reduce pain and get back to the activities that they love.
I am a keen Surfer and Rower so on my days off I can usually be found on or near the stunning Exe Estuary or down the coast searching for waves.

I am a soft tissue therapist and a qualified personal trainer. I completed my Soft Tissue Therapy course with The School under Anna Maria Mazzieri.
Health, fitness and wellbeing are big passion of mine and I am driven by helping people achieve their goals however small or big they might be.
I integrate Massage therapy at its highest level with more advanced techniques and exercise and movement advice. So for example if you have back pain I will do a thorough assessment to understand the factors around it and how you move then I will treat with Massage Therapy before advising you on what type of movement and exercises you could be doing to feel better.
I have worked in different settings to gain a wide range of skillset ranging from treating sports injuries to chronic conditions like Osteoarthritis, experience has shown I have good clinical results which I know will be enhanced by being part of The Clinic team and benefit from the collective expertise.
Outside of work I really enjoy spending time outdoors, gym and swimming. I also love baking! You’ll often find me in the kitchen making anything from bread to cookies to triple chocolate brownies! Which I am now glad to share with the team at The Clinic.
If you want to have a chat with me in advance to your appointment to see if I am the right person for you please do not hesitate to contact me directly magda@theclinicdevon.co.uk
