This is not news, but brilliant that NICE and Arthritis Action are bringing it into the news agenda today.

All my clients with arthritis know this and come to me because they have active lifestyles and they want to stay that way!

While clinical massage obviously can’t repair the damage to the joint, it can relieve the muscular pain and stiffness associated with arthritis and improve the range of movement in the joint.

If you or someone you know has arthritis and have any questions on how clinical massage can help you, feel free to send me a message or give me a call.

Has ever felt more poignant? I don’t post anything political but as the horrific news from The Ukraine continues, I feel powerless to help.

If you fancy donating to The Red Cross’s Ukraine appeal and receiving a massage in return, or if you have been thinking of booking in and have put it off, here’s a great excuse!

I will be donating all profits from my Friday clinic to The Red Cross Ukraine Appeal.

Still a few slots left. Book in here: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=20710055 🇺🇦 💛 💙 🤲⛑

Let’s talk about stretching. 🧘‍♀️

🧘‍♀️ For many years, I just didn’t bother. Why waste any time in getting down to the activity that I love? 🏄‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️🏋️‍♀️

🧘‍♀️ It took me getting injured to really take stretching before and after excercise seriously. The great news is that I’ve got it down to just five minutes before and after my exercise sessions.

🧘‍♀️ By creating a bespoke stretch routine relevant to your particular areas of tension, you can incorporate stretching quickly and easily into your day, helping to prevent injury and rebalancing your body on a daily basis.
I create these routines for all my clients and aim for under 5 minutes each time.

Feel free to DM me for more info.

Great article in this morning’s Guardian on the return of touch:

“massage helps break down the pain cycle. If someone’s coming in and they are very tense or they’ve got pain, manipulating the tissue doesn’t necessarily make it heal straight away, but it breaks that pain cycle, and the client feels better at the end of the session”

For many people, social distancing and lockdowns left them bereft of physical contact. Here, touch experts explain why it is so essential and what we lost in its absence

I suffered lower back pain for years before being properly diagnosed by an amazing physio.

Now I have learned how to manage it, I rarely have a problem with something I just assumed I would always have to live with.

In my clinic I use a combination of techniques to resolve lower back pain including:

🤲 Deep tissue massage
🤲 Soft tissue release
🤲 Cross fibre friction
🤲 Neuromuscular techniques

In order to:

⛑Release contracted muscle fibres
⛑ Break down adhesions
⛑ increase range of movement and mobility
⛑ Reduce lower back pain

If you have any questions on lower back pain, let me know!
