Eric Burns 

BTEC Level 5 Soft Tissue Therapy, Sports & Remedial Massage

BTEC Level 3 Body Massage

Eric has been a massage therapist since 2014, training under some of the world’s leading authorities in the field. Among his mentors is Mel Cash, the principal tutor of the prestigious London School of Sports Massage, renowned for his contributions to sports and remedial therapy.

Eric’s fascination with the human body began during his time as an Aikido practitioner. Over five years of dedicated training, he achieved the level of Shodan Instructor, deepening his understanding of how the body moves and responds to various techniques.

His passion for understanding the body’s mechanics took a new direction after he sustained a minor injury. Seeking relief, Eric turned to his brother-in-law, a skilled massage therapist at the Hilton Hotel in Istanbul. Witnessing firsthand the rapid improvement and recovery from his treatment ignited Eric’s determination to explore massage therapy further.

He began his journey by enrolling in a Body Massage course at Andover College in his hometown. Driven by a growing enthusiasm for helping others, Eric advanced his studies at the London School of Sports Massage, based at Regent’s University. There, under the guidance of Mel Cash and other industry-leading tutors, he developed expertise in advanced techniques, including Soft Tissue Release (STR), Energy Muscle Technique (EMT), and a variety of stretching and functional exercises.

Eric is now proud to work at Chiros Health Clinic in Andover, run by McTimoney Chiropractor Nick Richmond DC MMCA MCC. Nick, a pioneer in his field, has been instrumental in furthering Eric’s education and expanding his therapeutic techniques.

Today, Eric continues to pursue his passion for massage therapy, combining his knowledge and experience to help clients recover, prevent injuries, and improve their overall well-being. He firmly believes that helping others is one of the most rewarding aspects of any career, and he strives to make a meaningful difference in every client’s life.
