Massage therapy

Ford’s Therapy and the London School of Sports Massage 

I am Aran Ford founder of Ford’s Therapy. I have always been interested in how things work, from a young age this spurred on an interest in science, in particular biology. I went on to study Neuroscience at the University of Nottingham and achieved my Bachelor of Science.

So why not neuroscience? As interesting as neuroscience is, it did not have human interaction. It was limited to working in a lab and had little or no direct contact with people. After a while I abandoned a lab based career I went on to train in soft tissue therapy with the London School of Sports Massage. Massage was a perfect fit for me, scientific basis, interacting with people and helping them in a meaningful way.

So if you ever want to talk to me about science, massage, music (I work at festivals regularly, catch me at Glastonbury if you are going!), films or something geeky, I would be happy to oblige.
