About Mark Kidd FD DIP SMA Reps

“I have now opened a sports massage therapy clinic in North Goa to treat clients suffering from musculoskeletal problems, both acute and chronic long-term issues that need resolution. Pain management is essential to ensure a positive lifestyle experience, especially as our bodies age. I only practice deep tissue manipulation and offer a holistic whole-body approach which encompasses various proven techniques to reduce pain and enhance the body’s ability to heal. If some conditions are beyond my remit, I will refer you to the relevant specialist for further treatment. I have worked right across the spectrum of conditions from professional sports people, gym users, and people suffering from work-related stresses and strains on their bodies, especially as we age. The experience of a deep tissue massage is not only therapeutic but generally finds any deficiencies within the musculoskeletal apparatus as a whole. Most of my working life has been devoted to studying anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology. I understand the mechanics of kinesiology and myofascial meridians and how the human body works hard to achieve homeostasis and balance.

This is what I hope to achieve with my clients: to diagnose the pain factors, work to relieve affected areas, and provide advice to maintain it. We only have one body and one life, and it’s vitally important that our body is kept in good condition to ensure some form of longevity. I have been training for 40 years and have incurred many injuries, and working 60-80 hours a week brings its own perspective of wear and tear on the body. I am qualified to give advice on exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle factors, all of which play a huge part in our body’s ability to heal. I do not offer aromatherapy or “Swedish” skin-ticking massages; this is a purely professional service to help with pain management and the healing process.”
