Anne Cruickshank is director and joint lead therapist at RSI Clinics Ltd and director of the Myofascial Release Clinic UK, specialising in the treatment of RSI and other soft tissue pain conditions, stress-related syndromes and immune system dysfunctions such as fibromyalgia and all mind-body responses to emotional stress and physical trauma. Anne graduated from Sussex University in 1979 with an honours degree in Philosophy in the School of European Studies. Within a year she was training to teach Lotte Berk Method exercise, the challenging Pilates and dance-based exercise method with Lotte Berk herself at her London studios.

She was a teacher of Modern Foreign Languages and Philosophy for 9 years, and during her time in the Education was responsible for Initial Teacher Training (teaching others to become teachers). She continued her practice and education in bodywork during her career in education and in 1999 left teaching to open a private bodywork practice in Barcombe, where her daughter now carries on the work at her own bodywork clinic The Massage Therapy Clinic . Specific training and her own research into body and mind approaches to pain conditions and trauma has led Anne to form the Myofascial Release Clinic UK, where she treats clients with complex soft tissue pain and immune system conditions. She also runs courses in Myofascial Release in conjunction with Rachel Fairweather, director of Jing Advanced Massage Institute, passing on her experience to talented bodyworkers, massage therapists, osteopaths and physiotherapists.
