🌙 Have you woken this morning just a bit achy or not as refreshed as you want to be. Do you want Better Sleep and Less Pain? Fix Your Sleeping Posture! 😴
(have you waking up like you spent the night wrestling that Pillow bear… and losing.)

If your lower back, shoulders, or neck scream every morning, it might not actually be age…
It might just be the way you fold yourself like a human croissant at night.

Here’s the secret 👉 Sleeping posture matters more than we think.
Good posture = deeper sleep, less pain, better recovery, better mood, and fewer “why does my body hate me?” moments.

✨ Tips for pain-free sleep:
• Sleep on your side with a pillow between your knees (your spine will applaud you).
• If you’re a back sleeper, pop a pillow under your knees to ease lower-back pressure.
• And if you’re a stomach sleeper… well… may the odds be ever in your favour 😅 (or try a thin pillow to save your neck).

Remember: Sleep isn’t just energy recharge — it’s full-body repair mode.

Whats your common sleeping positions? and how to improve the posture, it’s worth a try to see if it gives you relief.

😴💙 Still having pain or discomfort? I’m here to help!
Reach out to Alli Gordon Therapy for advice, massage treatment, or posture assistance.
Your body will thank you — trust me.

This Week’s Treatments 💆‍♀️

I’ve absolutely loved seeing my regulars this week for their monthly treatment check-ins — a little muscle MOT to keep everything running smoothly! (Once well, stay well 💪) And of course, plenty of chatter and giggles along the way.

It’s also been wonderful to welcome some lovely new clients. It’s always such a confidence boost when new faces come through recommendations — there’s no better compliment!

Here’s a little snapshot of the week’s treatments:
✨ Medical Acupuncture for a frozen shoulder and arm — focusing on reducing pain and increasing mobility & flexibility.
✨ Remedial Massage for hip, thigh, and knee pain — easing tension and improving joint function.
✨ Remedial Massage & Trigger Point Therapy for neck and shoulder tension — helping to relieve headaches, with added physio stretches to continue at home.
✨ Posture Correction Sessions — identifying muscle imbalances, movement patterns, and triggers that lead to pain, plus guidance on how to self-correct and prevent issues.

It’s not just about the hands-on treatment — it’s about body knowledge. Understanding your own movement and posture is key to recovery and long-term wellbeing. 🌿

Breathe Easy, Loosen Up

Here’s a fun fact: your breath and your muscles are better friends than you think.

When you’re stressed, your breath gets short and choppy—like it’s in a hurry. Your muscles get the memo and tighten up, especially in your neck, shoulders, and jaw. It’s like your body’s gearing up for a wrestling match it didn’t sign up for.

But take a few slow, deep breaths? Your nervous system chills out, and your muscles follow suit. They stop clenching and start relaxing, like they’re finally off the clock.

So next time you’re feeling tense, don’t just stretch—breathe. Your muscles are listening.

Just back from our Scottish escape with the family — where the Highland cows & sheep outnumbered the people.

We soaked up the most beautiful countryside views and found some stunning beaches (yes, even in Scotland! 🏖️). Had more than a few giggles at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival — always a highlight! 😂

Feeling grateful, refreshed, and ready to get back into the swing of things — school lunchboxes, school runs, and home clinic life await!

Sharing a few snaps below — promise there’s at least one windswept selfie and a dramatic cloud or two.

Feeling refreshed and ready for this week’s clinic appointments. If you’d like to book in for an appointment, feel free to get in touch — I’m now taking bookings. Text or phone 0790008455 or email alligordon.therapy@gmail.com

Im still on holiday in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. But I can’t stop thinking about what’s best for my clients! 😅

While I’m away recharging with my family. I figured it was the perfect time to give my home therapy massage clinic a deep clean and full sanitation. ✅

I hired a professional cleaning company — and they absolutely understood the assignment… because they brought in a very special cleaner for the job. 🧽🫧

Let’s just say… I can’t wait to see the place spotless, refreshed and sanitised clean space, ready and waiting for me to return 1st September.

If you want to book in for Sept please do text me. 07900084555

One of the most interesting parts of being a massage therapist is seeing how different jobs affect the body.

Over the last couple of weeks. I have seen teachers, Denists, hairdressers, pharmacists, engineers, architects, GP’s and gardeners.

💆‍♂️💼 Whether it’s a desk worker with tight shoulders and neck, a tradesperson with lower back strain, a hairdresser with sore arms and hands, or a nurse with tired feet and legs—every profession brings its own muscle patterns and tension hotspots.

It’s a reminder that no matter what we do for work, our bodies deserve care and support. 💪✨
Massage isn’t just about relaxation—it’s about restoring balance where your work takes a toll. Finding those muscles that need that physical rehabilitation.

🌸 Taking a Short Break 25th to 28th July 🌸

Dear clients,
I just wanted to let you know that I’ll be taking a few days off, just the weekend 25th to 28th July to celebrate a very special occasion — my 25th wedding anniversary! 💍✨

There won’t be any new bookings during this short break, but if you already have an appointment scheduled, don’t worry — I’ll see you as planned!

Thank you all for your continued support and understanding. I’ll be back soon, refreshed and ready to see you again! 💖

Warm wishes,
Alli Gordon

What Is Dry Needling or Medical Acupuncture?

Dry needling is a modern treatment technique used to relieve muscle tightness, reduce pain, and improve movement. It involves inserting very fine, sterile needles into trigger points (tight, sore spots in muscles) to release tension and restore function.

⸻ How Does It Work?

When a needle is inserted into a tight muscle or trigger point, it helps:
✅ Release knots in the muscle
✅ Improve blood flow
✅ Reduce pain and inflammation
✅ Stimulate healing

The process helps your body “reset” the muscle, making it easier for you to move, train, and recover. The advantage to needling is that it can access the deepest muscles or soft tissue that massage just can’t reach.

⸻ What You Need to Know:

• It’s not Chinese acupuncture – While similar needles are used, dry needling is based on modern anatomy and neurophysiology. Using acupuncture needles with anatomy science.

• It’s quick and effective – Sessions are usually shorter and often give fast relief, especially when combined with exercise or manual therapy.

• Sensation varies – You may feel a twitch, a deep ache, or light soreness during or after – this is normal and usually a sign the muscle is releasing. Then a more pleasant warming, tingling and fizzling sensation.

• Safe and sterile – I use single-use, sterile needles, and as your therapist I am professionally trained in Advanced Medical acupuncture techniques.

⸻ Who Can Benefit?

• Sport or recreational fitness training who need recovery from overuse injuries.

• People with muscle pain or tightness from posture related lifestyle.

• Anyone struggling with limited mobility or stubborn muscle scar tissue or post injury/surgery pain.

There are some ailments or considerations that would limit or would mean medical acupuncture isnt the treatment for you. But don’t worry I will talk and guide you through the treatment options during the consultation process.

If you are a blood donor or what i like to call you “blood angels 😇 “. Please let me know if you have a donation coming up. Unfortunately having this treatment will prevent you from donating. But I can reschedule your appointment to after your blood donation.

Any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.
