My name is Arian Portillo Berta. I am a massage therapist from Cuba. 

 

Massage Therapy is an ancient  treatment, considered one of the most natural and healthy.

 

It is based on a deep understanding of the anatomical, physical and vital laws; manipulation and use of specific massage techniques can relieve you of pain, stress, general fatigue and muscle fatigue.

 

Muscles can be returned to health, elongated, and made more functional and rejuvenated, after suffering from stress and overwork, or they can improve your sports performance.

 

The role of massage therapy is to be able to restore the muscle fibres of the tendon. The muscles have the ability to contract  and elongate, and, with the use of corrective manipulation, can help stimulate the memory of the neurons to regenerate tissue.

 

My style of massage is called "Cuban massage".

Cuban, because here in Cuba we specialise in perpetuating the relationship between man and nature, keeping a blend of technology and that which our best doctors have learned in the past, qualities like observation, love, humility and perseverance, those which are hard to find today wherever you look. Enriched by Russian, Chinese and American techniques, we have created this fusion through constant learning and development, harmonising with the cheerful and hopeful spirit of our people, ensuring healing and well-being.

 

I offer my services as a Massage therapist, as a professional with the knowledge, skills and experience to take on new challenges that respond to the needs and demands of today's lifestyles.

 

I was born in Matanzas, Cuba.

 

I hold a degree in Physical Education, and completed my studies at the Camilo Cienfuegos University of Matanzas, graduating in 2007. 

 

In 2006 I obtained my graduated Diploma in massage at the Provincial Centre of Sports

Medicine, Matanzas, Cuba.

 

From 2007 to 2008 I worked in the Carlos Verdugo clinic and rehabilation centre where I worked as a masseur.

 

Since then I have worked as a fitness instructor and masseur and in 2011 I started my own massage business which now I bring to the UK.
