Bridget Read Soft Tissue Therapy Description
I am a State Registered NHS Paramedic with 18 years experience of treating people at the initial point of injury. My other passion is rehabilitation and assisting people to make the most of every opportunity they have and to live life to the max. I will be undertaking a years course at CSSM (Cambridge School of Sports Massage) and throughout the year I will require volunteers to practise my new skills on towards my 100 hours practise. I will use this page to update you on my progress and opportunities to book in for treatments. Thankyou for your support.

Wow - what a weekend - 2 days of exams and lots of fantastic results for clients. Finally found some time for some RnR with friends. Whatever you’ve been upto this weekend, tomorrow’s a new day and a new week - don’t look back, more forward! Go grab you dreams. 😊
Big weekend for many with races, events and exams. Whatever your up too, think big, aim high and succeed. You’ve put in the work now go and enjoy the ride.
Full until the 24th September - please get in touch early to book an appointment. 😊Full until the 24th September - please get in touch early to book an appointment. 😊
As some of you are aware, over the busy summer I decided it was time to put right some of the wrongs of the past year. I’ve embrassed a lifestyle change and after 6 weeks the results speak for themselves (stay calm - no revealing photos 🙈😂) but I feel physically, psychological and mentally stronger. Never look back - move forward - make time and achieve! Want to know more - ask me next time!
Just wanted to take the opportunity to thank the clients who we’re very patient and waited for my return from my holidays - hopefully all up to date. Please to say the diary is very full at the moment, so next appointments are w/c 17th September.
This is the rock and roll world of a Soft Tissue Therapy Student - final weeks of study before my final exams later in the month 🙈 Aiming to keep my appointment availabilty before the exams but I’m happy to say I’m full next week, so please get in touch if you’d like an appointment any time after 10th September.
Just to let you all know that I’m back from my travels and taking bookings. Thank you for your patience over the past couple of weeks. I still have a couple of slots free next week and the week after in preparation for the up and coming running events - Ipswich Half / Coastal 10.
Another opportunity to spend the morning with this great trio of ladies trying chi running and trying some super tasty healthy food options for lunch.
I’ve spoken to many of you about the benefits of Pilates and this fantastic instructor - nows your chance to join her for a beginners course.
Evening - just to let you know that it’s time for a break after a crazy 11 months - The Reads are spending some family time, but business will resume w/c 3 September. I’m still available to take bookings, so if you want any treatments please don’t hesitate to message me - I will get back to you although there might be a delay. Don’t forget Ipswich Half and Coastal 10 are looming, so get booked in early. Happy Holidays 🌞🌝
Looking forward to a day supporting the amazing runners undertaking the SVP 50 / 100 km uktra event. I have supported many of the runners on the start line over the recent months and would especially like to wish my clients all the best in this event tomorrow. Look forward to seeing the 100km runners at checkpoint 2 and 4 and the 50km runners at checkpoint 4. You’ve all trained hard - just go out there tomorrow and believe - You’ve got this! #believe2suceed
Home from a great night supporting the runners at the Twilight 10k - great to have the opportunity to support many clients some of whom had been in this week for prep treatments. Next week is all about SVP 50 / 100. I will again be out supporting the runners at a couple of check points. On a personal note - another assignment passed and I’ve been investing in some personal me time in an attempt to improve my own health and well being. Early morning gym sessions and some diet changes has resulted in my feeling full of energy and on the road to regain some fitness. Whatever your dream / aim - grasp it with both hands - You Can Do It! #believetosuceed
Here’s my story about why this charity is close to my ❤️ I know many of you have read this on my personal page, so apologies for repeating it. 🙈
So that was weekend 11 done. The next time I visit the hotel in Cambridge it’ll be assessment weekend. 🙈 it’s been a rollercoaster of highs and lows. The charity fund is now at least £2000. This week I have given a donation to support a clients mamouth event ‘Tour d’Solly’ raising funds for Alzheimer’s. (Dave is biking the equivalent distance each day to the Tour d’France) Team Read have also had some great news that Alastair’s application to Action for Hearing Loss for 2019 London Marathon as been approved, so I will be donating a chunk of my donations to his charity pot. I will update you tomorrow why we choose this charity. Thanks for the continued support and enjoy the last few hours of the weekend. 🌞🌞
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve counted up the donations and I’m both chuffed and pleased to announce the donations have exceeded £1500, I haven’t passed any on for a while, but they will be directed to worthy causes soon. This coincides with a treatment count up and I’ve completed over 200 consultations with numerous clients. Just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you all for the ongoing support. 😊
Boom finally completed my log with 100 hours, (have done way over this, but formally logged 101 hours) so it’s time to hand it in at training school this weekend.
Weekend 10 awaits then only one more weekend before finals in September.
All assessments and assignments passed to date and I‘ve decided that from 1st July to increase my suggested donation to £15, this is a stepping stone to my qualifying fees which are likely to be in the region of £30, but this will not be until October and I will certainly give you plenty of warning and looking to have a loyalty discount for those of you that have volunteered throughout the year. 😊( Any concerns re: donations, please do not hesitate to discuss with me as these are just my suggested donations!)
The Read family took part in some pay back volunteering this afternoon helping out a fellow student with her practice.
Helen from Core and More is about the embark on her advanced Pilates training and Team Read enjoyed their first Pilates session in the beauty of their back garden in fantastic sunshine. Looking forward to joining in more of Helens classes when they become available later in the year.

Wow what a session I have just had with Bridget. I was feeling apprehensive about getting my wobbly bits out in front of someone, but Bridget instantly puts you at ease and she is so professional and friendly. She did a marvellous job at getting to the route of my problem and I now feel like I am on the road to recovery. Her advice is spot on and she fully explains what is happening and why. I would throughly recommend her services.
What can I say about this lady? She is just amazing. I'm having on going treatment with her for a glute issue. I'm training for the Manchester marathon and I'm hoping Bridget is going to get me there. Thank you Bridget.
Received my first massage today. A wonderful relaxing and therapeutic experience easing my achy muscles from yesterdays run. Legs feel less stiff and so much lighter now. I certainly recommend Bridget's professional approach in a lovely calm and quite location. I will be back!
Lovely lady, excellent massage, feeling the benefit immediately. Thanks Bridget
Knowledgeable and great follow-up advice. Will be booking in again before Peddars Way.
Just completed a 10k race following injury. Pretty sure I'd not have managed it if it wasn't for Bridget's massage, stretching and expert advice!! Thank you sooo much! ��
I went into Bridgets treatment room with very limited head turning ability to the right and came out with if not full, very near to full, range again! Thank you so much! I will be back!
I had a massage with Bridget last week and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Been having problems with an on going lower leg problem so acted as a guinea pig for Bridget to practice on.
Felt totally at ease and Bridget was professional and friendly throughout.
Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks.
I had a massage with Bridget last night she was really professional and has a lovely setting. I really enjoyed my massage and she applied just the right pressure as before I have had massages with other therapists which have been painful and uncomfortable. Bridget is very knowledgable about the different muscles and attachments etc. My legs feel fab today! Looking forward to my next run. Would definitely recommended Bridget! �
Bridget is a living legend, I have new legs and feet!!! Her knowledge is fantastic, thank you so much x
Bridget is a fantastic soft tissue therapist. I am fortunate that we share knowledge and treatment swap regularly. She treated me during my marathon training including pre-event, she also treated me prior to a big 200m bike ride, but most importantly she has helped address restrictions and pain with my shoulders. The treatment is effective and pain free. I highly recommend her.
