Who loves homework 🙋‍♀️ 🙋‍♂️

It's easy, promise... all you need to do is breathe. And take a few notes.

Simply paying attention to your breath, noticing anywhere in the body that it feels a bit stuck and noting it down regularly is one of the best things you can do. When we start to get to the root of the problem, we can come up with the best action plan to get you back to your best.

Breathe. Write. Repeat.

We get it: it's hard to prioritize your self-care.

There’s always something else that feels more urgent and, just like that, weeks (or *ahem* months) have flown by.

Helen works two Saturdays a month at our Park Road clinic, precisely for the people who can’t do weekdays and just need a bit of time to properly switch off. No rushing, no clock-watching, just space to rest and reset.

We're always sticking ourselves at the bottom of the to-do list, saying 'I’ll book when things calm down'… this might be the moment.

Saturday spaces are limited and tend to fill quickly 🌿

How long is too long?

Being in pain for an hour is pretty naff. What about a day? A week? A month? A DECADE??? We've had clients come in who've been managing the same pain for more than 10 years and you just don't need to live that way.

No matter how long you've been grinning and bearing it, you're not stuck in pain. Anything over 6 to 12 months is classed as chronic and it's never too late to sort it out.

Did you know that Nadia did her Level 3 training with us at the F&E Massage Academy? Then stuck around and joined the team.

She loves helping people keep doing the things they love without pain or tension in the body.

Nadia sees clients at Park Road every Monday and Friday 1-8pm (and one Saturday a month).

Ever noticed how your jaw aches when you’re stressed… or your hips feel heavy and tight for no obvious reason?

Stress doesn’t just live in your head, it settles into your body, often in surprising places (yes, including your glutes 👀).

In our latest blog, we look at where the body holds stress, the signs to watch for and why releasing the right areas can change everything.

👉 Read more and start listening to what your body’s been trying to tell you.

Discover where your body holds stress - from glutes to jaw - and how massage can release tension, ease pain and restore balance.

How much attention are you paying to your breath?

Each inhale and exhale tells their own story. Holding tension in the body? Your breath will let you know. When we slow down and tune in, the body often shows us exactly what it needs. Sometimes, that’s simply space to soften and let go.

Ok, we’re almost a fortnight into 2026 and… how are those little changes feeling?

Let’s talk habit stacking! 🙌

We know it takes around 66 days for a habit to really stick but so many of us give up before we even hit that two‑month mark. One of the easiest ways to set yourself up for success is to ‘stack’ new habits onto things you already do every day.

✨ Want to work on balance? Try standing on one leg while you brush your teeth.
✨ Looking for a bit more flexibility? Get your morning stretches in while the kettle boils.

Before you know it, those new habits are linked to your existing routine which makes sticking with them so much easier.

We’d love to hear what habits you’re stacking this year, let us know 💛

If you want safe hands, smart treatment and genuinely better movement, this one’s for you. Have a read and feel empowered before your next appointment. 💪✨

Not all sports massage therapists are trained for injury treatment. Discover which qualifications matter and how to spot a credible professional.
