About Roland | Bowen Therapy in Moseley, Birmingham
Roland Baskerville
Dip PT DipSM Cert Bowen MFHT
Hello and welcome - I’m Roland, a holistic therapist based in Birmingham, with over 20 years of experience helping people move better, feel better, and live pain-free through Bowen therapy, sports massage, and specialist movement education.
My Background
My therapy career began in 2003, when I qualified in Sports Massage and Personal Training. Over time, I realised that to truly help people recover and stay well, I needed to go beyond treating surface symptoms. This led me to train as a fully certified Bowen Therapy practitioner, a gentle yet powerful technique that supports the body’s natural ability to heal.
Today, I combine hands-on treatment with movement-based therapy and self-care education - empowering my clients to understand their bodies, prevent future issues, and maintain long-term wellbeing.
Experience and Clients
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients - from elite performers to local community members. My professional experience includes:
City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra
Symphony Hall major artists
National Shukokai Karate Team
Numerous internationally recognised musicians and rock bands through Dr. Dot’s global therapy team (drdot.com)
I also collaborate with a community interest company, providing therapeutic treatments for people managing anxiety and depression - supporting both physical and emotional wellbeing.
My Approach
My approach to treatment is holistic and results-focused. Whether you come in with shoulder pain, back tension, or chronic discomfort, I look beyond the immediate symptoms to identify the root cause.
By treating the body as an integrated system, we can create long-term solutions instead of temporary fixes. I also offer tailored aftercare, stretching, and movement advice so you can take positive steps between sessions.
When additional support is needed, I work closely with a trusted local network of practitioners to ensure you receive the best and most complete care possible.
Why I Love This Work
I’ve always been fascinated by people - how we move, adapt, and heal. Helping someone rediscover comfort, confidence, and freedom in their body is what drives me every day. Seeing clients progress, regain balance, and thrive is the most rewarding part of my work.
If you’re looking for Bowen therapy, sports massage, or holistic bodywork in Birmingham, I’d love to help you release tension, repair movement, and restore balance.
Thank you for visiting,
– Roland
“Excellent Bowen Therapist!! I went to see Roland just to try something different as an alternative to counselling for anxiety and stress caused by pain. I was in a lot of pain and having hospital physiotherapist which wasn’t really working to get rid of the pain in my hands and wrist/ “carpal Tunnel syndrome? “ ... I was really surprised how quickly the pain down my right arm and in both my hands and wrist disappeared with the adjustment Roland did to my jaw. A very supportive therapist as a female I felt safe and was treated with empathy, kindness and respect! Very professional therapist!!”
