Steve Oliver
Massage Therapist in Cramlington

Steve Oliver Dip Ac MBAcC - Member of the British Acupuncture Council since 2004. I am a Traditional Acupuncturist, Masseur & I teach Tai Chi + Chi Gung. I initially studied for 5 years at the NCA in York. (2001 - 2006). I have also studied Tui Na An Mo massage with Nick Hudis at the Tissue Flow Institute (2007 - 2010). I have been studying Daoist Nei Gung in York since 2004, trained with the excellent Lynne Barbour in Orkney for 10 years and have recently completed a 3 part course in Master Tung's Acupuncture.

I became interested in Traditional Acupuncture after first receiving treatment in 1998. I first became interested in Oriental Martial Arts & Philosophy in the mid 1980's, rekindling this interest more fully in 1995.

My life experience has aided me in my developement as a Therapist, I feel that this has had a very positive effect on my ability to understand and help my Clients & Students. I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council and have worked in a busy multi discipline Sports Injury Clinic since 2004.

Background & Massage Therapy Qualifications

I was originally an Engineer - studying at a number of learning institutions around the UK.

My Tai Chi & Chi gung training & developement has been ongoing since 1998. I teach a number of classes in the local area and have been doing so since 2005.

My Specialisms

The integration of all of these strands of theraputic practice has been very useful in enabling me to offer the best of care to my Clients.

Approach to Massage Therapy & How I Work

I try to be practical and realistic in my approach to Therapy. Clients increasingly require validation of their choice of Therapy & Therapist very quickly. Unlike many case studies in textbooks, modern clients will not agree to long and frequent courses of treatment. I am very mindful of this fact and seek to engage the client in self help to support a speedy recovery and an increase in personal responsibility. I feel that the last five years of my fifteen years as a Therapist have broadened my experience and affirmed my ideas and approach to my work.
