The Story
Behind Dyfi
Sports Massage
Hi, I’m Lucy, the founder and owner of Dyfi Sports Massage. Many people know me professionally from my work with horses, where I turned a lifelong passion into a rewarding career. I am a Level 4 British Horse Society qualified coach and spent 15 years running my own small yard, backing, schooling, and producing horses and ponies. Alongside this, I competed and developed my own horses. Although horses are still a major part of my life, and I continue to coach from the ground, I’ve had to retire from riding due to a long list of injuries. When I stopped riding, I knew I needed to find something else that brought me joy—and that’s how Dyfi Sports Massage was born.
I’ve always been passionate about sports. In the past, I was an avid runner, and I still love swimming, especially in open water. I also enjoy mountain biking, road cycling, and regularly train at the gym, with a focus on weightlifting and building strength.
I earned my Level 3 Sports Massage certification at Sports Therapy UK with Tim Paine in Hertford. A few years later, after successfully establishing my business, I completed my Level 4 Sports Massage qualification with West Shires School of Complementary Health. In addition to sports massage, I am also qualified in kinesiology taping, pre- and post-sport taping, and injury management. I spent two years providing pitch-side support for Dolgellau Football Club, assisting with first aid and injury care for their league teams.
