After working in entry level massage, in 2020 Graeme gained his L5 Sports Massage & Remedial Soft Tissue Therapy at NLSSM, where he met Rachel, a fellow course-mate who shares a passion for excellence, and a couple of years later cofounded with her what is now WKBM.
Graeme has continued his research and training and specialises in hypermobility, scoliosis, scars (mainly from cosmetic surgery) and pre/post-natal challenges.
He is passionate about sport, mainly as a spectator these days after picking up injuries when younger competing from county to national level in sports ranging from rugby and swimming to weight lifting and the javelin, and he has a black belt in Taekwon Do. Graeme is married with three kids and two Cockapoos, and with any spare time he almost keeps on top of the garden and keeping fit.
After graduating in Sport & Leisure Management from Loughborough University, Rachel fell into a desk job but knew she wanted to follow her passion and move into an active sport-related role. In 2020, she gained her L5 Sports Massage and Remedial Soft Tissue Therapy qualification at NLSSM, where she met Graeme, a fellow course-mate who shares a passion for excellence, and a couple of years later cofounded with him what is now WKBM.
Since qualifying, she has expanded her knowledge including RockTape Kinesiology Taping and Cupping qualifications.
Rachel has always had a keen interest in sport, including rock-climbing, tennis, sailing and skiing – although fitting this in to her hectic family life with two young children and labrador can prove tricky. Instead, she maintains her fitness through running, HIIT classes and Pilates.
