Hi, I’m John Auty – Sports Masseur

Hi, I’m John, Sanctuary’s new resident Sports Massage Therapist. I have always been very keen on being physically active. In my teens I was a competitive track and field athlete, competing in the pole vault. My passion in this lead me to attend University where I attained a BSc Hons degree in Sports Science. I later joined the fire service, where I’ve proudly served West Yorkshire for 20 years. I’m also a PTI on station. The job can be very physically demanding at times but I keep fit with CrossFit, Weight training, Bouldering and over the last 18 months Yoga and Pilates which I absolutely love! It has opened my eyes to preventative measures in staying healthy and injury free. I feel sports massage compliments this wonderfully. So if you are carrying tension or tightness within your muscles, I will happily offer my services.

Aerial Yoga is amazing for stretching out the lumbar region after sitting about at Christmas. The Instructors are very patient and helpful to novices. Great fun and hanging upside down is a little bit addictive - would recommend everyone to try it!
