About Me
Hi, My name is Jeff Pringle, the owner of Body in Balance Therapies. I am a fully qualified Sports Therapist and Myofascial Release Practitioner based in West Kirby on the Wirral.
I first became interested In therapies after suffering from years of chronic pain myself. I had been a keen sportsman and, like many others, picked up many niggling injuries along the way.
Not knowing any better, I would usually either ignore the injuries or try to ‘push through’ the pain in the hope it would eventually go away.
Unfortunately, this led to me suffering from chronic hip, back and knee pain which not only stopped me from taking part in the activities I loved to do, but also from completing simple everyday tasks for myself.
Following months of pain and being prescribed medicated pain relief, I decided enough was enough and began to try and find alternative ways to fix my problems. I visited various therapists to help relieve my pain including Osteopathy, Sports Massage, Acupuncture and, eventually, Myofascial Release.
I was amazed by the effects these therapies had on reducing my pain, enabling me to regain my independence and get back to the activities I had enjoyed before my injuries.
The improvements I experienced in my overall health and well-being inspired me to embark on a career as a therapist myself.
Initially, I decided to train as a Sports Therapist, completing a level 5 diploma through the Sports Therapy Organisation – the leading Sports Therapy professional body in the UK.
