Issie Halil - Owner and founder of Touch Tuina Catford

After training in Tuina and working for over 10 years, Issie finally opened the Catford clinic in South London, closer to home where there was a huge demand in the local community for effective pain and injury treatment. Since then, Issie has gone on to complete courses in orthopaedic and i-ching acupuncture, cupping, reflexology, kinesiology and more.

Issie has a wealth of experience in treating injuries and both acute and chronic pain. Issie treats a vast array of patients, from professional footballers and athletes to orthopaedic patients and elderly retired patients in the community. He particularly enjoys treating patients with challenging complex conditions and seeing how they improve under his care.

Adrian Skervin - Senior Practitioner

Adrian originally trained in Sports massage in 2017 and realised he wanted to find a more effective treatment, eventually finding Touch Tuina and the Student to Master Tuina training program. Having found Tuina to be so effective at treating his own musculoskeletal pain he is now a huge advocate of Tuina. He now combines his sports massage knowledge with Tuina to better treat his patients and help them in their recovery. With his sports and athletic background, Adrian is passionate about therapies that help athletes’ bodies cope with the physical stress and exertion they are subjected to
He has since studied many more therapies such as cupping, osteopathic manipulation, dry needling acupuncture, advanced guasha and instrument assisted soft tissue mobilisation (IASTM), all of which he may incorporate into his tuina treatments. Adrian treats a wide range of patients, ranging from athletes to children and the elderly, working with those in pain and those with injuries and musculo-skeletal conditions. Adrian usually works at the Catford clinic on Tuesdays and saturdays
