Olly Bell

Hi, I'm Olly

I'm a sports massage therapist, working at our Whitley Bay and Heaton clinics.

My approach

I start every session by asking what's bothering you and what you've got coming up, so the massage fits the week ahead. I see runners, gym-goers and people who are stiff after a week at a desk, and I'm a natural fit for dancers, performers and anyone training for an event, because I spent most of my working life doing exactly that.

Journey so far

I've spent the last nine years touring the world as a professional contemporary dancer and circus artist, with Motionhouse Dance Circus, and before that with the Royal Opera House and Rosie Kay Dance Company. The work took me to theatres and festivals across the UK, Europe, Asia and the USA, including the opening ceremony of the Eurovision Song Contest and the Commonwealth Games.

I trained as a massage therapist to align my passion for performance with helping others, and was the massage therapist for Motionhouse Dance Circus, working on the company before and after shows. I moved to the North East in 2026 and joined the team that September.

My goal

I spent nine years dancing for a living, so I can’t promise to turn you into a dancer. What I can promise is that your body won’t be the reason you can’t. Whether it’s a race, the gym or the dance floor at the next wedding, I want you moving freely and knowing how to keep it that way.

Outside of work

I play golf, swim and train in the gym. I'm also a musician. I play the oboe to Grade 7, as well as guitar and bass, and I write and record my own music.
