Richard
The person behind the hands.
I'm Richard Lake, a sports massage therapist based in Torremuelle, Benalmádena. I qualified in the UK — A-level, a sports massage diploma and the BTEC Level 5 Advanced Sports Therapy qualification — and I've kept adding courses in soft-tissue, trigger point and mobility work ever since.
I've spent my working life with bodies that work hard: club cricketers and padel players, golfers chasing a handicap, marathon runners and triathletes, and a lot of people who just want to get out of bed without a stiff back. I work trackside at cricket days and padel tournaments along the coast, and I run the studio here in Torremuelle, a minute from the Racket Center.
I'm not a doctor or a physiotherapist and I won't pretend otherwise. If something you describe needs one, I'll tell you and point you in the right direction. What I'm good at is deep, careful hands-on work, finding the spot that's actually causing the trouble, and giving you a few simple things to do between visits so the work holds.
