✨ Medical Acupuncture: Helping Your Body Move and Feel Better

If you’ve been dealing with ongoing muscle tension, stubborn tight spots, or aches that keep creeping back into daily life, you’re not alone.

Common things people look for help with include:
• Neck or shoulder tightness
• Lower‑back discomfort
• Muscle knots that limit movement
• Headaches linked to tension
• Fatigue or slow recovery after activity

These issues can build gradually - from work, stress, training, or simply how we move day to day.

🧠 What is medical acupuncture?

Medical acupuncture (also known as dry needling) is a modern, evidence‑informed technique used within musculoskeletal therapy.

It works by using very fine needles to:
• Release tight or overactive muscles
• Improve local blood flow
• Reduce pain signals from irritated tissues
• Calm an overprotective nervous system

It’s based on anatomy and physiology - a practical, clinical approach to helping the body reset.

💡 What benefits can it bring?

People often report back:
• Reduced muscle tension
• Easier, more comfortable movement
• Relief from trigger‑point related pain
• Quicker recovery after activity
• Better day‑to‑day function

It’s not a one‑size‑fits‑all fix, but it can be a powerful part of a wider plan to help your body feel and perform at its best.

🌙 New Evening Appointments Now Available!

Great news for anyone juggling busy days or looking for a little mid‑week reset.

From Wednesday 11th February, I’ll be offering evening appointments every Wednesday , giving you more flexibility to stay on top of your recovery, manage ongoing niggles, or simply unwind after a long day. These will be in addition to the 2 Friday evenings per month that I currently offer.

Whether you need:
• Remedial & Sports or Swedish massage
• Medical acupuncture
• Sports taping
• Or just some well‑earned time to switch off

…you’ll now have more choice to fit treatment around your schedule.

📅 Evening slots are limited, so early booking is recommended.
Looking forward to supporting your recovery.

🟢 Client Feedback Means Everything 🟢

These are some of the first reviews submitted through the new booking system - and I’m genuinely grateful to everyone who’s taken the time to share their experience.

I don’t ask for reviews. I never have!
I’ve always held a quiet confidence in the work I do, built on the improvements I’ve seen in clients over time - whether that’s reduced pain, better movement, or simply feeling more like yourself again.

So when someone chooses to leave a review, it means a lot 🥹
It confirms that what I’m doing is bringing benefits to my clients. That the time, care, and attention I put into every session is making a difference.

Thank you - to everyone who’s shared their story.

💪 January Gym Kickstart: Don’t Let Injury Slow You Down

January brings fresh motivation - new goals, new routines, and a real drive to push harder. But progress doesn’t just come from training. It comes from recovering well.

⭐ Why Recovery Is Key
• Muscles adapt and grow between sessions, not during them
• Good recovery reduces soreness and keeps you moving consistently
• It helps prevent niggles turning into long‑term issues

👐 How My Treatments Support Your Training
• Sports & Remedial Massage: improves mobility, reduces tension, and speeds up recovery
• Medical Acupuncture: great for stubborn tightness and pain
• Sports Taping: supports movement and reduces strain during training

⚠️ Signs You Might Be Overtraining
• Persistent fatigue or heavy legs
• Drop in performance despite training more
• Trouble sleeping or feeling unusually irritable
• Lingering aches that don’t ease with rest

If you’re starting strong this January - brilliant. If you’re continuing your journey - even better.
Just don’t let an avoidable injury derail your progress.

🟢 Book in, recover well, and keep performing at your best.

I’m Still Open!

Despite the snowfall, I will remain open at for appointments throughout the week.
Mobile appointments may be limited depending on your location and current road conditions.

A huge thank you to the contractor, who is doing an excellent job keeping the road and car park clear to ensure safe access to the gym.

I completely understand if you prefer to reschedule until the weather improves. Your safety always comes first, and I would never want you to take any unnecessary risks travelling to an appointment.

If you do need to rearrange, please reschedule at your earliest convenience.

Stay safe, and I look forward to seeing you soon.

🎄 Merry Christmas to all my amazing clients 🎄

As I close for Christmas, I want to take a moment to say how genuinely grateful I am for every single one of you. Thank you for choosing to book in with me, for trusting me with your injuries, your recovery, and your wellbeing, and for helping make this year such a success for Garioch Massage Therapy.

Whether you’ve been with me from the very beginning or you’ve only recently stepped through the door, I appreciate you more than you know. Every session, every conversation, and every bit of feedback has helped shape the business into what it is today. It’s been a year of growth, learning, and plenty of laughs along the way - and I’m grateful for all of it.

I also want to give the biggest thank you to my partner and my daughters. Their support, patience, and belief in me gave me the confidence to take the leap and build this business from the ground up. They’ve understood the long hours, the late nights, and the times I’ve had to miss out on moments together so I could keep the business moving forward. Without their love and encouragement, none of this would have been possible. They’re the quiet strength behind everything I do, and I’m incredibly grateful for them.

I hope you all have a relaxing, restorative Christmas surrounded by the people who mean the most to you. I’m already looking forward to 2026 and continuing to support both new and familiar faces on their journey to feeling their best. Here’s to another year of progress, recovery, and helping you move well and feel well.

Thank you again for being such a big part of my year.

Don’t forget I’m open between Christmas and New Year should you need me 💆‍♂️

🎉Happy first birthday to Garioch Massage Therapy 🎉

In November this year I celebrated 1 year since I took the business full time, life was super busy and I am only getting round to recognising this important milestone.

I’d like to take this opportunity to say a few thank you’s.

🌟 Firstly to at for giving me an opportunity to establish my business within his gym and for the support in the first 4 months of business. As a new business the flexibility you’ve given me to utilise the room when I needed has been fantastic. Sharing my social media posts to your members has also been vital to getting my business out there.
Thank you to all the Energie staff who’ve made me feel welcome since day one, who recommend me to your clients when they have niggles or injuries. It’s very much appreciated 🙏

🌟 Secondly I’d like to thank my mentor Gary at for the support you’ve given throughout this first year. From our conversations during my own treatments to the reassurance during quieter spells, your encouragement has helped me stay focused and confident. Your advice with client queries has been incredibly helpful and has played a huge part in my growth this year. For me, being able to tap in to Gary’s wealth of knowledge has been invaluable.

🌟 Finally thank you to all of you who have put your trust in me to help you with your body and the discomfort you’ve been feeling. This trust allows me to continue to learn with each individual being different. Thank you for everyone who has taken the time to leave me a review or give me feedback.
Without you I would not be able to continue to grow, both as a therapist and as a business🙏

I’m so excited for year two — more training, new services, and continuing to level up the treatments I offer.

Thanks for being part of the journey 💚✨
