About Mel
Mel Lake has worked in the beauty industry for over 20 years within a range of environments, from running her own salon, to a high-end Canadian Spa.
She has trained in many different modalities in massage: Holistic Massage, Lava Shell, Deep Tissue, Lymph Drainage, Sports Massage, Soft Tissue Injury, IASTM Therapy, Cupping, Pregnancy and Labour massage, Dry Needling, and Foundation in Acupuncture.
Continually updating her knowledge through courses, reading and research, Mel has more recently added Advanced Soft Tissue Release to her skillset. Mel has a wide range of experience from working with a local rugby club's physiotherapy team, helping players to prepare for training and manage injuries, to working within an office environment to treat all desk-based postural problems and everyday stresses and strains.
Mel has a keen interest offering treatments tailored to each person's individual needs, working with the Recover team to help patients achieve their own personal goals and be pain free, whatever their level of activity.
Outside of work, Mel enjoys spending time with her young family, running, climbing, swimming, skiing and travelling.
