About Me

Hi my name is Rachael Hickling and I am a qualified VTCT Sport Therapist. From school I have always found that the human body is fascinating and biology was my favourite subject. I have always been an active person on and off from a young age, playing in most of my schools sports teams as well as swimming, martial arts and aerial arts (hoop, trapeze and silks) in later life.

VTCT Level 4

I gained my foundation degree in Sport Performance and Exercise Development from the university centre at North Lindsey College in May 2011. From there I went on to Grimsby Institute and got my VTCT Level 3 Diploma in the Prevention and Management of Sport Injuries (June 2012) and then my VTCT Level 4 Certificate in Sports Massage Therapy (June 2013).

Kinesiology Taping

While studying at Grimsby I had some fantastic opportunities such as gaining a qualification in Kinesiology Taping for the Athlete and getting the chance to work with the Royal Marines and raise money for the Not Forgotten Association. I am a registered member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT Registered membership number 169429).
