MSc Sport Rehabilitation
L5 Soft Tissue Therapy
Lead Therapist - Cardiff City FC Women

15/06/2024

After 4 1/2 years, I've made the tough decision to sail off into the (employed) sunset from Friday 12th July 2024. I opened when I was a newly qualified Soft Tissue Therapist and worked in clinic through my MSc to become a BASRAT Registered Sports Rehabilitator - I've come a long old way!

Thank you so much to everyone who's made an appointment, trusted me with their treatment, recommended me and shared or liked a post on my social media.

I've learned so much and met so many amazing, interesting people during the time I've been self employed and I am so grateful for all of you.

For now I'm off to an employed role but please keep in touch if you'd like to, either here or over on my personal Insta.

I'll still be working for Cardiff City Women, so hopefully I'll see you at one of our games.

Keep a weather eye!

Start next season at 100%

Don't start next season with injuries or niggles you're carrying from this one.

Pre-season training will be harder, chances of team selection will be lower, chances of re-injury or even sustaining a more severe injury will be statistically higher and at best you'll be in a worse state by Christmas than you are now, let alone at the end of next season.

Start next season in a better place than you are now. In a better place than you started last season.

Work with me.

Won the League, won the League Trophy, won the Welsh Cup - we've only bloody won the treble!!!

An absolute banger of a season. Started pre-season early, off to Champions League Qualifiers in Lithuania, back and straight into the League.

Lots of injuries. Lots of other challenges this year but look what those incredible women did! So, so proud of every one of them, every single day, but never more than now.

I'm so fortunate to work with such an amazing team of coaching and backroom staff and club management of course. It's been an extremely challenging season, but we got there. Best job in the world kids! Bring on 2024/25 - reckon I've got one more season left in me! (Been saying that at the end of every season since I started doing this, so who knows).

But now, it's time for a holiday.

For all my injured athletes out there who can't make, or don't want, in-person appointments, I'm launching my remote rehab service and I'm looking for 5 volunteers to help me test this out before the end of March.

Get in touch if you are injured and would like the chance to try this comprehensive service out for free before it goes on sale in April 2024.

None of this is true. Cupping just provides a new stimulus to your brain - new and additional information to your brain about what's going on in your body.

Evidence informed therapy is important. Does your therapist explain what they're doing in ways you understand? Or does it all sound like woo woo?

New sign (bad photo!). Thank you .king.3 - awesome, fast, friendly service!

It's me, but in action!

Thankfully for everyone, not something you see that often.

Great game tonight, I've got the best job(s) in the world!

New year, new you? Maybe you're starting the gym, have signed up to bootcamp or are an experienced exerciser with events to train for this year.

I can help!

Massage can help you recover so that you're raring to go for your next session.

It can help with the dreaded muscle soreness for those of you who are starting something new.

Massage can be a great bit of self-care during your training plan, to help keep you motivated and in great shape.

AND

Regular appointments are a great way to keep on top of any niggles or concerns you might have during your training, before they become injuries.

BUT

I'm also qualified to assess, diagnose, treat and help you rehabilitate any injuries you might pick up along the way.

If you would like a chat or any more info at all about what I do and what I can do for you, get in touch.

Applying ice to an injury has been removed from the latest injury management advice, which has changed over time from RICE to Peace & Love.

Basically, we now have some evidence that applying ice to an injury may lead to incomplete healing and even additional damage and re-injury in the long term (much like taking anti-inflammatories, which is why they're out too) and we always want to give a new injury its best chance to heal well.

That doesn't mean ice doesn't have a part to play in rehab. We can use it to alleviate pain in the longer term. Applying heat or cold to your body can stop your brain feeling discomfort because the signal for pain is slower than the signal for temperature (Pain Gate Theory), but it should not be used at the point of injury, or within 72 hours of an injury taking place.

If in doubt, get in touch - injury management and rehab is what I do best! I can help. And I've got some new stuff up my sleeve for 2024 that can help even more!

Happy Christmas to all of my clients, old and new - thank you for your support this year! I'm looking forward to working with you all again in 2024.

I don't just work with footballers and gym goers - Mr B is a tippity top windsurfer so I always pack for holidays and trips.

Here he's wearing some gorgeous thumb tape for his afternoon ride. Helps with grip and prevents soreness from holding on through all those fancy tricks in salt water. I shall, of course, be poised and ready, should he need anything on his return (I'm in the windsurf club bar with a beer and a book, but I'm ready).
