Remedial massage for headaches, stress and tension

Headaches and ongoing tension often build gradually. Long hours at a desk, sustained stress, jaw clenching and upper back stiffness can all contribute to load through the neck and shoulders.

Remedial massage can help by addressing muscle tension, improving circulation and reducing the physical strain that accumulates through daily life. For some people, this support can reduce headache frequency or intensity, particularly when muscular tension is a contributing factor.

Relief from tension is rarely just one thing. Combining massage with gentle movement, posture awareness, and simple daily habits helps the body reset and stay comfortable.

Prenatal Physiotherapy: Supporting Your Body Through Pregnancy

Pregnancy brings significant changes to strength, posture and load — and your body deserves support through each stage.

Prenatal physiotherapy focuses on:
· Managing back, pelvic and hip discomfort
· Supporting pelvic floor and core function
· Adapting exercise safely as your body changes
· Preparing your body for birth and recovery

Treatment and exercise are always individualised, taking into account your stage of pregnancy, symptoms and activity levels. The goal isn’t restriction — it’s helping you stay strong, comfortable and confident in movement.

Whether you’re experiencing discomfort or simply want guidance on safe exercise, prenatal physiotherapy provides evidence-based support during a time of rapid change.

3 Things You Might Not Know a Physiotherapist Can Help With

Physiotherapy is often associated with injuries — but our scope goes well beyond pain management.

Here are three areas people are often surprised we can help with:
· Headaches and jaw tension linked to posture, neck load, or muscle tension
· Persistent stiffness or fatigue that hasn’t responded to stretching alone
· Movement confidence after time off exercise, illness, or long periods of stress

Physiotherapists assess how your body moves as a whole — not just where symptoms are felt. By addressing strength, control, load management and recovery, we help clients move more comfortably and confidently in everyday life.

During your session, our cycling physio, Rosie Moore, will:
· Assess how your body moves on the bike

Keeping your progress during a break from training

Time away from your usual routine happens — holidays, busy work periods, family commitments. A short break from structured exercise doesn’t undo the work you’ve put in.
Keeping a small amount of movement going often helps maintain momentum.

A few simple things that make coming back easier:
· Move in ways that fit your day — walking, swimming, light mobility
· Doing a little, even once or twice a week, beats stopping altogether
· Keep joints moving through ranges you know tend to stiffen up
· Be mindful that travel, poor sleep and long days add extra load
· When you return, ease back in rather than trying to pick up where you left off

Looking after your body during slower periods is part of staying consistent long term.

Starting the New Year Right: Choosing the Right Class for You

A strong start to the year isn’t about doing more — it’s about choosing movement that actually supports your body.

At Flex, our physiotherapist-led classes are designed to meet you where you’re at.

Clinical Pilates (3:1)
· This 60-minute class is run by one physiotherapist with three attendees. It uses predominantly reformer-based exercises, with each person guided through their own individualised program. This format allows for flexibility, variety, and progression based on your goals, movement history, and how your body responds on the day.

Rehab and Strength (5:1)
· This 45-minute class is run by one physiotherapist with five attendees. It combines reformer and strength-based exercises, following a structured program with set reps and loads. This makes it particularly well suited for acute injuries or those who benefit from a clear, consistent framework.

Mat Classes
· Our mat-based offerings include Perform (bodyweight circuit), Mat Pilates, Vinyasa Yoga and Yin Yoga. These classes focus on strength, mobility, control and recovery, providing accessible options that complement both rehab and performance-based goals.

The right class helps you build strength safely and sustainably — setting the tone for the year ahead. Talk to your physiotherapist or our friendly front desk team to learn more about joining a class here at Flex

Shoulder stiffness holding you back?

We often see clients noticing small changes in their shoulders — difficulty reaching overhead, turning to look behind, or discomfort while sleeping. These everyday movements can be affected by posture, overuse, or previous injuries.

A few simple ways to support your shoulders at home and work:
· Pause during the day to gently move your shoulders and upper back
· Position your desk and chair so your shoulders remain neutral and supported.
· Include light strength work for your rotator cuff and shoulder blade muscles

At Flex Sports Physiotherapy, we combine hands-on therapy, targeted exercises, Remedial Massage and Clinical Pilates to guide you safely back to full movement. Every shoulder is different, and small adjustments now can prevent bigger frustrations later.

Have you noticed stiffness affecting your day-to-day life? Share your experience — we’d love to hear what’s been tricky for you.

Pregnant or postnatal? Unsure if your pelvic floor is working correctly?

At Flex Sports Physiotherapy, we use real-time ultrasound to help you see your pelvic floor muscles in action. This safe, non-invasive method provides clear feedback on how your muscles are functioning during and after pregnancy.

· Visual feedback so you know if you’re performing exercises correctly
· Assesses strength, coordination, and control
· Supports recovery after birth, C-section, or pelvic floor trauma
· Helps manage symptoms such as incontinence, heaviness, or discomfort
· Builds confidence in your core and pelvic floor rehabilitation

Pelvic floor exercises don’t have to be guesswork. Understanding how your muscles are working can make your recovery safer and more effective. If you’re unsure whether you’re activating your pelvic floor correctly, our team can guide you with a tailored assessment and practical strategies.

Small Habits Create Long-Term Strength

Strength isn’t built through occasional intense sessions. It comes from consistent, manageable habits that your body can sustain over months and years. Small steps accumulate, and they’re far more effective than pushing your body beyond its limits.

Consider incorporating habits such as:
· Short strength sessions throughout the week
· Movement breaks to reduce stiffness
· A balanced mix of strength, mobility and rest
· Gradual, progressive increases in load

These habits improve muscle control, resilience and confidence in everyday movement. They also lower the risk of injuries commonly caused by sudden spikes in training.

If you’re unsure where to start, clinical strength training and our Rehab and Strength classes provide a structured pathway to help you build strength safely and consistently.

How Breathing Patterns Influence Posture and Tension

The way you breathe affects more than your lungs. It influences posture, core control and muscle tension through the neck, ribs and diaphragm. Many people unknowingly adopt shallow chest breathing during busy or stressful periods, which can increase neck tightness and contribute to postural fatigue.

Improving your breathing can help you:
· Reduce upper-body tension
· Support better core activation
· Improve rib mobility
· Enhance overall movement efficiency

A helpful starting point is slow diaphragmatic breathing: place your hands around your lower ribs, inhale gently into this area, and feel the ribcage widen. This encourages the diaphragm to work effectively and reduces reliance on the neck and shoulders.

Our physiotherapists often integrate breath awareness into Clinical Pilates to support strength, control and ease of movement.

Why Rest Days Are Essential for Progress

Rest is often overlooked, but it plays a central role in building strength, managing load and preventing injuries. When you train, you create small amounts of stress in your muscles, tendons and joints. Rest days give your body the time it needs to repair, adapt and grow stronger.

Taking regular recovery days can help you:
· Reduce the risk of overuse injuries
· Improve strength and endurance
· Support energy levels across the week
· Maintain consistency in the long term

If you often feel fatigued, sore or unable to progress your training, the issue may not be working too little, but recovering too little. A balanced routine of training, movement and recovery keeps your body performing well and reduces unnecessary strain.

At Flex, our physiotherapists can help you plan training loads that support sustainable progress without burnout.

Ready to start running? Here’s how to do it right

Running can boost fitness, mood, and energy — but starting too fast is a common way to get injured. A smart approach helps you stay consistent and enjoy every step.

Key tips for new runners:
· Begin with a run-walk approach — short intervals reduce stress on joints and tendons
· Keep your first runs at a conversational pace
· Do not overwork your body — aim for 1–2 runs per week initially
· Increase distance or time by no more than 10% per week
· Include strength work for hips, calves, thighs and core to support form and reduce injury risk
· Choose appropriate footwear and replace shoes regularly
