CASSANDRA GRAMOZI

Since qualifying with NLSSM – The School of Soft Tissue Therapy in 2008, I have seen first-hand the positive effects of sports massage and soft tissue therapy across a wide range of settings. I began my career working in private clinics and at sporting events before moving into professional sport.
 

My interest in Pilates and movement developed while working at Saracens RFC in 2008, before moving to Wasps RFC in 2010 as Senior Soft Tissue Therapist. It was here that I saw how soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation and equipment-based Pilates could work together to influence movement, support rehabilitation and help athletes return to performance.
 

After three seasons at Wasps, I moved into Olympic sport, spending the next four years working with the English Institute of Sport and within the Intensive Rehabilitation Unit as part of a multidisciplinary team supporting elite athletes through different stages of rehabilitation.
 

Since 2017, I have been Consultant Soft Tissue Therapist to the England Men’s U21 football team, including during their European Under-21 Championship-winning campaigns in 2023 and 2025. My approach combines soft tissue therapy with movement analysis, rehabilitation and Pilates-based exercise.
 

Alongside my work in elite sport, I am a Consultant Soft Tissue Therapist with 292 Performance, supporting athletes on an individual basis, and I also work with Complete Pilates online, delivering one-to-one and group sessions.
 

Having originally trained at NLSSM, I have remained closely involved with the school throughout my career and am now Director and Manager of NLSSM – The School of Soft Tissue Therapy. Alongside overseeing the school and its Level 5 programme, I continue to lecture and assess, while maintaining my clinical work with private clients.

I am a full member of the Sports Therapy Association and am fully insured through James Hallam.
