Martin Parkes has had an interest in healthy living and good nutrition for most of his life. After serving in the Royal Air Force and working in electronics industry as an engineer, he took the decision to follow the path of helping others improve their health and wellbeing through a functional health approach.
In 2008, Martin went back to school and trained to be a Sports & Remedial Massage Therapist. Initially, Martin worked in a natural health clinic in St Albans before acquiring a salon Chesham High Street where he works today. Soon the growth in demand for soft tissue therapy meant that massage became the dominant part of the businss. In 2019, he took the decision to split the business and create The Massage Spa and develop Pure Body Fix® to highlight the functional health approach.
