Roy Minter M.I.C.H.T. studied anatomy and physiology, Swedish massage and sports massage at Hereford College of Technology and is a current member of the Federation of Holistic Sports Therapists. He has also attended an advanced massage course on trigger point therapy.
Roy became interested in sports massage as a result of sustaining a serious knee injury in 1995. During the long rehabilitation it became apparent that a career helping other sports people and athletes fulfil their potential and recover from injury was the right path for him.

Roy loves the work he does and the pleasure seeing people receive relief from their pain and returning to normality. He feels strongly that there are a lot of people living with pain unnecessarily. Roy continues to find that the deep tissue treatments are of benefit to both elite athletes and the public at large, treating a wide range of injuries from back/shoulder problems to foot problems.

Herefordshire's Sarah Waldron is hoping to compete in the Olympic trials after running personal best of 16.38 in the British Milers 5k race in Manchester.
She paid tribute to the work of her masseur Roy Minter, who she claims was instrumental in getting her to the start line.
