3.30pm Carole Caplin & Rachel Henry – Practical workshop for hands on
therapists to eradicate their own daily muscular tension/ pain and drain the lymph.

Carole Caplin was one of the first pioneers to champion and apply a holistic approach to health, fitness, and wellbeing.
She trailblazed the multidisciplinary approach to health long before it became the norm. Her decades of experience and knowledge imparted through her day-to-day client facing work remain ahead of its time.
Her books, National press columns, articles, media appearances, workshops and trainings, introduced her approach to a wider audience.
Many of the principles and ideas that Carole has conveyed over the years are now mainstream. They form part of the collective fabric which help shape the deeper thinking and change in how to achieve and maintain overall optimal strength, health, wellbeing, and fitness.
Carole specializes in inflammatory issues, chronic and acute pain, MSK imbalances, injuries/ dysfunctions, adrenal fatigue, digestive disorders, and hormone imbalances to name a few. She uses a variety of modalities to ensure best results, including Clinical massage therapy, Scar Tissue therapy, ELDOA, corrective exercise, gut health (including inflammation and digestive disorders), lifestyle management, fascial unwinding, and lymphatic drainage.
Carole’s core skill lies in understanding how these aspects interconnect and play out for a particular problem. The presenting causation, and the interventions that might be needed in response, are often non-obvious and complex. Sometimes a multi-faceted response, involving multidisciplinary skills and hand-picked specialists in related fields is needed to bring about the most effective results.
She has worked with a wide range of people, ages and job descriptions; from students, business people, and parents looking for solutions to deal with everyday malaise, injuries and low immune system, to those endeavouring to avoid or rehab from orthopaedic surgery, and professional athletes in need of an extra edge to their performance.
Carole is closely involved with charity Healing Hands Network, providing support to the veteran community. Using a combination of the work described above, she works with Combat Stress, West London Mission, and veterans of war survivors of the Bosnian conflict in Sarajevo. She has taken a leading role over the last two years with the Team ScarWork Invictus project run by Emma Holly at Restore Therapy. Carole played a crucial role at the training events with the athletes who were in preparation for the Invictus Games in 2019. She also ran a team of seven multi-skilled ScarWork therapists whilst interfacing with the Help for Heroes staff to co-ordinate, plan and deliver therapy at the UK’s second-largest ever disability sport event held in Sheffield July 2019
Carole is not just an expert practitioner, she is an expert communicator too. She is able to encapsulate what needs to be done with no stone unturned and imparts that to her clients in ways they can digest and understand. She ensures her knowledge and insights are shared fully and that each person she works with has the tools they need to become independent and, when needed, get themselves out of trouble and into strong health.

Rachel Henry believes that the strongest foundation for healing and growth includes a collaborative and proactive approach: physical exercise, nutrition, mental health and lifestyle balance are all vital to overall wellness. 
With 11 years of experience as a personal trainer and corrective exercise specialist, Rachel has a demonstrated history in the health, wellness and fitness industry. Her career has mainly been spent in multidisciplinary clinical environments between Toronto, Canada and London, UK, addressing postural imbalances, lower back pain, musculoskeletal/orthopedic rehabilitation, and returning clients to pain-free function.
Her education includes a Bachelor’s Degree in exercise science, diploma in holistic nutrition, and, more recently, has become one of only a handful of people in the UK to acquire certification in the unique modality of Fascial Stretch Therapy. 
Having had her fair share of sporting injuries over the years (competing in sports such as equestrian, rugby union, basketball, and lacrosse), Rachel uses her own experiences to understand and connect with clients who may be struggling with pain or injuries. She strives to equip as many people as she can with the tools they need to feel confident and in control of their own health.
