With lots of new studios opening in town and gyms keeping up with the trend by throwing classes in the mix it’s hard to know what you are actually attending.
Pilates training can differ greatly with some courses requiring 200 hours of practice and some requiring 600 hours, in fact some have even been done online!

My advice is to ask yourself what do you want from your class, do you want the more fitness type Pilates and reformer or are you looking to work more on injuries, preventing and cure and a more balanced body. Have a chat with your instructor and see what type of class they offer and decide which may be the best for you.

Do you know who you are seeing? Sports massage or therapist!

Lately I have been seeing lots of people with injuries on Facebook being referred to a sports massage therapist for treatment.

So what’s the difference?

A sports therapist usually has some sort of degree in sports therapy, they can assess and treat injuries using rehabilitation exercise plans, electrotherapy, acupuncture to name a few.

A sports massage therapist often calls themselves a sports therapist however they will have taken a much lower level shorter programme in sports massage only.

So what can sports massage help with?
Tightness of the muscles and pre and post event treatment.
They absolutly cannot and should not be treating, assessing, diagnosing or offering advice on any injury including sciatica. Not only is massage not helpful to medical issues it can actually be detrimental to your recovery.

Organising bodies are set up to keep public safe and anybody claiming to treat injuries after completing short massage courses can be reported and face investigation.

Final note. Please check your therapist has the relevant qualifications if you are asking for treatment of an injury. Ask to see qualifications, and what organising body they are under that runs relevant checks to ensure they are qualified.

People often ask me why their neck and shoulders are so sore.
You are literally carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders!
A small change to the way you hold your phone can make some difference.
