More about the Coach
Meet Mark, an expert in both body therapy and paddle sport coaching with a unique and diverse background. After spending 21 years on the road, touring across the UK and the world in technical theatre, Mark decided to follow a new path—one that combined his passion for helping others with his love for the outdoors.
Mark's journey into therapy began with Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy, but it was the discovery of the EMMETT Technique that shifted his focus to physical therapy. He became fascinated by how this technique could address physical pain and dysfunction and went on to pursue further training in Massage and Level 5 Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation.
As the director and owner of Therapy Station, a hub for independent therapists in Stoney Stanton, Leicestershire, Mark blends a range of advanced therapeutic techniques to get to the root of your issues. From Myofascial release and trigger point therapy to clinical acupuncture and sports taping, he’s committed to addressing the source of your pain—not just masking it.
But Mark’s skills don’t end at body therapy. As a qualified PaddleUK coach in kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding, he combines his therapeutic expertise with his love for watersports. Whether you’re looking to improve your paddling technique, build confidence on the water, or learn how to stay safe with Paddle Sport Safety and Rescue training, Mark is there to guide you every step of the way. He’s also a certified Paddle Sport Instructor Tutor, helping aspiring instructors take their first steps in the sport.
If you're ready to recover, improve your wellbeing, or enhance your paddle sport skills, Mark is here to help. His holistic approach ensures you'll receive the right support—both on and off the water.
