✨ Client Progress Update! ✨

Two weeks ago, this client came in with limited shoulder movement and some tightness. After today’s follow-up session, his shoulder range of motion has improved to 80%, and he walked out with full range of motion and no tightness at the end of his range! 💪

It’s always so rewarding to see clients leave feeling lighter, looser, and moving better.

If you’re struggling with shoulder stiffness or tightness, don’t wait—let’s get you moving freely again!

You’re never too young to start remedial massage.

This video is of me working on my son — and it’s a good opportunity to explain how I approach treating minors.

When I provide remedial massage to anyone under 18:
✔️ A parent or guardian is present in the room at all times
✔️ Every step of the session is clearly explained
✔️ Consent, comfort, and safety always come first

Remedial massage for kids and teens isn’t about “pushing through pain.”
It’s about helping growing bodies feel more comfortable, move better, and understand their own muscles and posture.

Creating a safe, calm, and respectful environment is non-negotiable — for the child and for the parent.

If you’ve ever wondered whether remedial massage is appropriate for your child, I’m always happy to have a conversation first.

Stretching more… but still feeling tight?

Here’s a myth that catches a lot of people out 👀

👉 “If I just stretch more, the tightness will go away.”

Sounds logical, right?
But for many people, it doesn’t work and here’s why.

When muscles feel constantly tight, it’s often not because they’re short.
It’s because the tissue is overloaded, irritated, or not moving well.

So when you stretch:
• It feels good for a moment
• The tightness comes back
• You end up stretching harder and more often

That’s not a flexibility problem that’s a tissue quality problem.

This is where hands-on remedial work changes things.

By first improving how the tissue feels and moves:
✔️ Stretching becomes easier
✔️ Movement feels smoother
✔️ The “always tight” feeling finally settles

Stretching isn’t wrong it’s just not the whole answer.

If you’ve been stretching the same area for months with no real change, this might be the missing piece.

Curious if your tightness is actually something else?

When you arrive and can’t lift your arm past 90° without sharp, unbearable pain…

This is where many clients start.
Limited range. Constant discomfort. Frustration.
And often the belief that “this is just how it is now.”

But pain doesn’t always mean damage
and restriction doesn’t mean it’s permanent.

Through targeted remedial massage, we can begin to:
• Free up restricted shoulder tissues
• Reduce pain and guarding
• Restore movement step by step
• And most importantly restore hope

That first moment when a client realises
“I can lift my arm higher… and it doesn’t hurt like it did”
is powerful.

It’s not about quick fixes.
It’s about giving the body the chance to move better again.

If shoulder pain is limiting your day-to-day life, there is a way forward.
