A new mobile sports therapy service will be available in the 3 Valleys this winter. Sophie Drake, who has a BSc in Sports Therapy and is the sister of GB Olympic alpine skier and skier x athlete Ed Drake, is setting up her own business in sports therapy based in Courchevel, but offering a mobile service across the 3 Valleys.
"Being a mobile sports therapist means I can treat clients in the comfort of their own chalet or apartment and they don't have to find their way around a resort to come to me," said Sophie who has been in close contact with Olympic athletes who have been through rehabilitation.
"I am combining my two passions of winter sports and sports therapy. I have a background of competing in skiing and rowing to a national level, so I am fully aware of the stresses and strains that sport and skiing in particular, can put on your body. Coming from a sporting background, I myself went through injuries and have watched my brother Ed go through injuries and rehabilitation; this made me want to be the person who fixed injured athletes and the sporting population and got them back to full strength," added Sophie
