Student story
Following winning Britain’s first Winter Paralympic gold medal in Sochi 2014, Kelly Gallagher MBE, the Northern Irish alpine ski racer, has turned her attention to Sports Massage at St Mary’s University. Taking 3-weeks out of training in Austria this summer, Kelly completed the Intensive Sports Massage course. “I usually spend my time training and resting. The intensive course has required several types of discipline, rather than focusing upon my fitness I have had the occasion to learn a new ability and refine my information, studying advanced sports massage techniques and abilities.”
