Sporting Background
Duran’s background in competitive volleyball has played an important role in developing his interest in sports massage and physical recovery.
He represented KwaZulu-Natal in volleyball, earning provincial colours over consecutive years, and subsequently represented Guernsey in volleyball in 2019.
His experience of competitive sport has given him a first-hand appreciation of the importance of recovery, mobility and maintaining physical function, as well as the challenges that can arise when returning to activity following injury.
Duran’s Approach
Duran takes a personalised and goal-focused approach to massage therapy, adapting each treatment to the individual’s needs, lifestyle and level of activity.
While his sporting background has given him a particular interest in sports massage, recovery and physical activity, Duran also enjoys working with people who do not participate in sport.
He recognises that muscular tension, everyday aches and discomfort, reduced mobility and the physical demands of work, exercise and daily life can affect anyone. Duran is passionate about helping people feel more comfortable in their bodies and supporting them as they work towards their individual goals.

Duran works with a wide range of clients, from people involved in regular sport and physical activity to those simply looking to feel more comfortable and mobile in everyday life.
Whether supporting someone involved in sport or someone experiencing muscular tension and discomfort from work, exercise or everyday activities, Duran aims to tailor his approach to the individual’s needs and goals.
