Meet Crystal Rodrigues, CA/Sports Massage Therapist
Beginning her wellness career in the gym, Crystal has been a qualified personal trainer since 2020. “I was really interested in working with clients with injuries. That’s when I got into sports massage, and then, took it from there.”
At the practice, she combines her skills as a chiropractic assistant and sports massage therapist to provide outstanding service and care to patients. Whether she’s welcoming them at reception or easing tension through massage, she delivers practical care that helps people feel and move better in their everyday lives.
Clinical Skill Meets Empathetic Support
Crystal holds VTCT-accredited qualifications in both Level 3 and Level 4 Sports Massage. While Level 3 prepared her to work with healthy tissue for maintenance, Level 4 deepened her ability to support injury recovery. “You’re able to work with more injuries when you become level four and above.”
There’s nothing cookie-cutter about the massages Crystal provides. She customises every session to help restore balance and mobility—whether you’re a daily gym-goer, passionate athlete, or spend hours a day working at your desk. Sports massage complements chiropractic care by addressing soft tissue imbalances, often enhancing recovery and reducing discomfort.
A Fresh Start in London
Originally from Brighton, Crystal relocated after a life-changing event led her and her partner to seek a whole new environment. After a stint in Birmingham, they settled in London, where Crystal first came to the clinic as a patient. “I found that I really liked the service, and everyone was very friendly.” When the opportunity arose to join the team, she seized it.
Alongside her clinical work, Crystal also has a background in acting and has appeared in a few commercials. While most auditions are now virtual, she hopes to have more in-person opportunities.
What Fills Her Cup
When she’s not at the practice, Crystal is passionate about movement, healthy cooking, taking long walks, and listening to audiobooks. She’s also a fan of uplifting TV, especially Ted Lasso, which she recently binged in a single day (yes, really!).
