💡 Ever wondered what those colourful tape patterns are?

This is oedema taping- a technique using Kineosiology Tape designed to reduce swelling fluid build-up after injury or surgery.

The tape is applied in a specific pattern that gently lifts the skin. This creates space underneath, encouraging fluid to drain through the lymphatic system and easing pressure on the tissues.

➡️ It’s especially useful for:
- Post injury swelling
- Recovery from surgery
- Bruising and inflammation
- Improving comfort & mobility

It’s a simple but effective tool to support recovery- and it works alongside hands-on treatment and rehab.

Have you ever tried K-tape before?

✨ And just like that I am entering my second and final year of my Physiotherapy Masters journey- all while continuing to grow in clinic ✨

It’s been a challenging but rewarding path so far, and I can’t wait to bring even more knowledge and skills back into clinic to help my lovely clients 💆🏼‍♀️🫶🏼

Here’s to the final push 🙌🏼

✨ Second Placement Done! ✨
This one was definitely out of my comfort zone- surgery and ICU 🏥

It was tough at times but such an incredible opportunity. Being in a completely different environment showed me just how important physiotherapy is in recovery, whether that’s helping someone breathe easier after surgery or supporting patients through their first steps in intensive care.

I’ve taken so much away from this placement- not just clinical skills, but resilience, perspective, and confidence. It’s experiences like this that are shaping me into the physio I’m working so hard to become 💪🏼

Now onto the next 🫶🏼

“Strong in the gym = strong in the clinic” 🏋🏼‍♀️

Every rep, every lift, every recovery session I do for myself is the same care I bring to my clients. Because I get it- training with pain, stiffness, or injury is frustrating, and rest alone rarely fixes it.

In clinic, we don’t just chase symptoms… we fix the root cause so you can keep doing what you love.

And if you’re looking for the perfect place to train, recover, and push your limits? has everything you need 🤩

🧐 Spot the Difference: Scapula Rhythm Edition

Let’s talk shoulder movement- specifically scapulohumeral rhythm 👀

📹 In these clips, you’ll see shoulder flexion and abduction- but can you spot what’s not quiet right?

✨ In the first clip, there’s poor eccentric control on the way down- the scapula moves too much and loses coordination with the shoulder joint. It’s not a smooth, stable movement, which can often lead to:
❌ Overuse injuries
❌ Compensation patterns
❌ Ongoing pain or tightness

➡️ The third video still isn’t perfect- but it shows more effective control and improved rhythm. Progress isn’t about being perfect, it’s about moving better and building strength over time.

🔍 This is exactly what I do far more than just massage. The scapula cannot be treated with manual therapy alone- it needs structures rehab and retraining to restore function and prevent re-injury. Soft tissue work helps, but it’s only a piece of the puzzle 🧩

If this feels familiar- reach out! We’ll get to the root cause and build you back up 💪🏼

💬 Comment below which side you think shows the poorer movement!
Lets see who can spot the different 👇🏼

📉 Why ‘Just Resting’ Isn’t the answer- DELOAD instead!

Injured? Most people are told:
👉🏼 “Just rest it”
But full rest can actually slow your recovery.
Here’s why deloading is the smarter approach 👇🏼

✨ What is deloading?
It’s not stopping- it’s reducing load and intensity, while still moving and rehabbing the area.

🔑 Why it works better than full rest:
- Keeps blood flow going for faster healing
- Prevents fear avoidance and overprotecting
- Maintains strength and joint control
- Encouraged better movement patterns
- Helps retrain the body in a safe graded way

⏸️ Rest can feel like it’s working… at first.
You feel better when you stop.
But as soon as you return to normal training or daily load- pain often comes right back 😣

Deloading lets you keep moving and recover in a way that’s long-lasting, not just a temporary fix 💪🏼

🚨 Injured doesn’t mean doing nothing. Let’s get you moving the right way. And what better place to DELOAD than 👆🏽
