✨ It’s Monday! ✨

Last week was a busy one — plenty of full diary days, hands-on therapy sessions, personalised rehab plans… and yes, I even squeezed in a little self-care for me. Pilates… tough, but oh so good, and my one non-negotiable each week! 💪

Now I’m recharged and ready for this week. How about you — what’s on your schedule?

Most people have a ‘usual spot’…

• Neck & shoulders
• Lower back
• Hips & glutes
• Calves
• Hamstrings

Noticing patterns in your body is the first step to looking after it better.

Drop a comment or just take a mental note — your body is always giving you information.

Progress doesn’t happen during workouts — it happens during recovery.

When recovery is poor, you might notice:
• Lingering soreness
• Heavy or tight muscles
• Reduced performance
• Increased risk of niggles

Sports massage supports recovery by helping muscles relax, improving circulation, and reducing tension — so your body is ready for the next session.

Training smarter isn’t about doing more — it’s about recovering well.

Why your knees hurt when walking downhill 🤔

Walking downhill increases the load through the front of the knee by up to 3–4 times compared to flat walking.

If the quadriceps are weak or the knee isn’t tracking smoothly, the pressure builds and causes that familiar ache around the kneecap.

Strengthening the quads and glutes, practising slow step-downs, and improving ankle mobility can make downhill walking much more comfortable.

What your clicking shoulders are trying to tell you 🤔

Clicking or popping isn’t always a sign of damage. It’s usually caused by tendons moving over bony areas or slight shifts in joint pressure.

But if the clicking comes with pain, weakness, or loss of movement, it may indicate poor shoulder blade control or muscle imbalance.

Improving scapular stability — think rows, wall slides, and light rotator cuff work — can make the shoulder move more smoothly and reduce that uncomfortable ‘clunk’.

Do you ever…
Wonder what strength exercises you should be doing today
Wonder if you’re helping your body… or irritating it
Wonder why some workouts feel great and others leave you stiff for days

Strength training shouldn’t feel like rolling the dice.

Your body needs targeted strength, built around how you move, how you load, and what you’re rehabbing — not generic plans.

When strength supports mobility, pain eases and confidence grows.

This is exactly how I coach clients 1:1 — intelligently, safely, and with purpose.

🎄 Eat well, move a little… and enjoy yourself 😉

As the year comes to an end, I just want to say a huge thank you to every single client for your continued support this year.

Thank you for allowing me to help you look after you — it’s genuinely a privilege to support your rehab, recovery, and movement goals 💚

Keep up the good work over Christmas 😉 (yes, that includes resting, eating, laughing, and not feeling guilty about it).

If you’re thinking ahead to the New Year, my 1-1 rehab sessions are already filling up fast, so please don’t leave it too late to book.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy New Year ✨

Why tight hamstrings might not be the real problem 🤔

If your hamstrings always feel tight — even after stretching — the issue may be weakness rather than lack of flexibility.

When muscles don’t feel strong or stable, the body creates tension to protect the area.

Strengthening the glutes and core often reduces hamstring tightness more effectively than endless stretching.

A good starting point: bridges, dead bugs and slow, controlled hamstring lifts.

I help people (just like you!) who are tired of pushing through pain and just want their body to feel good again.
Less stiffness. More movement. Back to doing what you love.
