Funny thing I’ve noticed recently… 🤔 At different times, my clinic seems to get “waves” of the same problem.

A while ago - loads of people with front shoulder pain.
Before that - lower back issues were everywhere.

And right now? It’s all about the elbow.
More specifically - what people call tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow (proper name: epicondylitis). 🎾⛳

But here’s what I really want you to know 👇

1️⃣ The sooner you act - the easier it is

The earlier you start treatment, the faster, easier, and less painful it is to calm the inflammation.

Don’t wait a year… seriously.
Sometimes people come to me when they can’t even hold a cup of tea anymore ☕😬
(And that’s usually when they wish they came sooner…)

2️⃣ If it hurts to touch… treatment won’t be a spa day

If you can’t even touch the painful area - of course treatment won’t feel like a gentle massage.

That’s normal.
It hurts because it’s inflamed.
Until that inflammation is reduced, some level of discomfort during treatment is expected.

BUT - and this is important 👇
The earlier you come, the less painful the process will be.

So don’t wait and hope it magically disappears.
Come in - I’ll help you sort it 👍

🔥 IMPORTANT - This is where results really change

One of the most effective treatments I use for conditions like tennis/golfer’s elbow is Shockwave Therapy.

✔ Helps reduce inflammation
✔ Speeds up healing
✔ Targets the root of the problem - not just symptoms

I successfully use it in my clinic, often alongside hands-on treatment. And for many clients it makes a huge difference in recovery time and results.

And of course - it’s not just elbows.

I help with pain and discomfort anywhere in your favourite body parts 😄
Or if you just need a proper sports massage - to loosen up, reset, and feel like yourself again.

(And if you’ve never tried it… trust me - you’re missing out. You won’t understand until you try it 😉)

As a devoted ambassador of all things fitness, I highly recommend considering the purchase of a truly outstanding cardio machine — the legendary “Dog: The Extraordinary Walking Edition.”

Allow me to present my report on highly effective early-morning workouts, demonstrated using my own premium model, Lily-062024.

Regular early-morning cardio sessions with this state-of-the-art equipment will significantly boost your productivity, mood, and general willingness to function like a proper human for the rest of the day.

Side effects may include: fresh air, accidental happiness, and being enthusiastically dragged towards every single tree in the neighbourhood.

Yesterday, while applying kinesiology tape to one of my patients, I suddenly realised something surprising…

I have never actually explained on my blog what 🫣 kinesiology taping is and how it 🤭 works in therapy. So here is a short explanation. (A more detailed explanation is available on my 🧩 blog 👉 www.spinewell.co.uk )

Kinesiology taping is a physiotherapy method that uses special elastic cotton tape 💊 to support muscles and joints, 💊 reduce swelling, 💊 improve circulation and 💊 assist recovery - without restricting movement.

The method was developed in the 1970s by Japanese doctor Kenzo Kase. In the early years it was mainly used in professional sports, but today it is widely used in therapy and rehabilitation - including in 🔥 my clinic.

Important point:
😇Kinesio taping is rarely a complete treatment on its own. But when used together with other techniques it becomes a powerful and long-lasting support for recovery.
😎 Simply put - it is like leaving my hands working on you until your next therapy session.

How it works:
✔ The specific taping technique gently lifts the skin, improving micro-circulation and reducing pressure on pain receptors.
✔ In some cases it provides therapeutic compression to help control swelling and support healing.
✔ It can also stabilise joints and reduce the risk of re-injury after strains or minor dislocations.

🆗 The tape is made from breathable cotton, is hypoallergenic and waterproof.
⏰ It works 24/7 for about 3–5 days.
💦 You can shower, 👍 swim, 🏈 exercise and continue your normal 💯 daily activities.

And yes - the tape comes in many 🌈 colours and designs. They look nice, but the colour does not change the therapeutic effect. Still, I always let my patients choose the colour they prefer — because comfort and psychology matter too.

One more thing about my clinic: Kinesiology taping 🆓 is included in the session price. You do not pay extra for techniques used during your treatment session.

This includes for example:
✅ kinesiology taping
✅ acupuncture
✅ electrical muscle stimulation
✅ Chinese cupping therapy
The only treatment charged separately is 🎯 shockwave therapy, because it requires specialised equipment.

Massage and physio clinics often offer shorter sessions in their price list — for example, 🥹 “back only - 30min”.
Which means - slightly cheaper. Which means - slightly more attractive.

Sadly, not just often, but very often, clients come to me who have never in their life had massage therapy beyond their back. And even worse - horror - sometimes the back wasn’t even treated from the glutes, but only from the lower back… or even higher! 😇 Horror indeed.

Right. Stop.
In this post I’d like to talk about the foot. Again. Yes, that kind of transition. 👣

Each of your feet 😎 contains 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 muscles and ligaments.

Maybe they are just numbers. But here’s something to notice: that’s roughly a quarter of your entire body. Around 25% of your musculoskeletal structure is concentrated in your feet.

Your hand has 27 bones - and we train our hands constantly.
But the foot? Locked in rigid footwear for most of our active day.
Try spreading your toes the way you spread your fingers. Can’t?

We are designed to move. And movement begins at the foot.
The foot absorbs every step of our daily activity and sends any dysfunction upwards. Quietly. Gradually.
The foot is unique because it doesn’t shout about pain - it simply starts losing function. And the shouting begins higher up: knees, hips, lower back, neck…

Enough theory. Just one fact.
The bottom layer of the foot - the plantar fascia - is a continuous fascial line. Continuous. It runs from the foot to the knees, further to the back, and even higher to the base of the skull, influencing the neck. Con-ti-nu-ous.

By mobilising and stretching fascial mechanisms starting at the foot, therapy can positively influence a tense neck. (That’s a fact. Ask my patients. 😉)

Now answer this:
What results can you expect if only 30% of the body is treated?
That is exactly why you will not find “half-measures” in my price list.
I always 🥰 aim to work with the whole body - even if your only complaint is neck discomfort.

Because the body never works in parts.
👣 Your movement starts at the ground.

Too much advertising everywhere automatically limits how long we actually read posts. And sometimes we miss genuinely helpful advice… or simply important messages. So what works better for you personally — a short catchy slogan? Or real stories about real people — your neighbours — like the ones I’m sharing below? 👇

Every single day, people come to me for real help — to get rid of pain and discomfort. And very often I hear the same story: chronic pain that hasn’t gone away for one or even two years.

The GP prescribes more medication. A physiotherapist hands over a generic exercise sheet. Seeing a consultant isn’t an option — because you can still walk, so it’s “not life-threatening”.

But the truth is this: any chronic pain is a serious disruption in how the body functions as a whole. And in my professional opinion, if left unresolved, it always carries long-term risks.

🎯 MASSAGE 🎯

You read the word and instantly picture something in your head. Most people imagine gentle strokes and relaxing spa treatments. And yes — that exists. But what if I told you that proper rehabilitation should always include manual and massage techniques?

Massage techniques are incredibly diverse. In fact, before a session I don’t always know exactly which methods I’ll use — because each body and each case is different. The goal is always maximum therapeutic effect.

Let me give you two real examples.

🔹 A young man came to me with shoulder pain. After assessment, we treated… his legs.
Strange? Not really.

Two years earlier, he had fractured his foot. It was a severe break and no proper rehabilitation followed. His movement pattern changed, he developed a subtle limp — without even noticing it. Over time, the compensatory imbalance in his musculoskeletal system overloaded his shoulder. (During those two years he also had recurring knee pain and lower back pain.)

🔹 Another case: a man came in with leg pain.
We treated his back.

Alongside manual therapy techniques, I used shockwave therapy, acupuncture and kinesiology taping — all applied to his lumbar spine, not his leg.
Why? Because the pathology originated in the lower back and the pain was radiating down the nerve pathway into the leg.

After just one session, he told me his leg pain had gone. He also admitted he hadn’t understood why I was treating his back instead of his leg — until he felt the result.

At SPINEWELL Clinic, I actively use Shockwave Therapy — a modern and highly effective treatment method widely applied in orthopedics and musculoskeletal rehabilitation.

The term shockwave therapy refers to mechanical pressure impulses that travel through the body in the form of acoustic (ultrasound-like) waves.

👉 This technology has been used in medicine for over 25 years — for example, shockwaves have long been applied to break down kidney stones without surgery, a procedure known as lithotripsy.
In my clinic, shockwave therapy is most frequently used to treat inflammation at the attachment points of tendons and ligaments in major joints, including:

• Shoulder joint — frozen shoulder
• Elbow joint — golfer’s elbow or tennis elbow
• Hip joint — hip osteoarthritis or trochanteric bursitis
• Knee joint — jumper’s knee or runner’s knee
• Foot — plantar fasciitis and heel spur

💥 I regularly observe pain reduction already at the early stages of treatment. Depending on the diagnosis, the healing process may take several weeks or even months; however, pain relief often occurs well before full tissue healing is complete.

It is important to understand that complete recovery requires time and, in most cases, several repeated sessions within a short treatment period.

⚠️ Important note: like any therapeutic method, shockwave therapy delivers the best results only when combined with massage and other physiotherapy techniques.

If shockwave therapy is used alone, without manual treatment, its effectiveness and overall healing potential are significantly reduced.

At SPINEWELL, I always prioritise manual techniques of therapeutic and sports massage when treating musculoskeletal conditions. Shockwave therapy is an additional tool — designed to accelerate and enhance your recovery, not replace hands-on treatment.

The other day, the front door in my home was replaced with a new one.
I chose the door company carefully and took my time. In the end, to minimise risks, I decided to pay a bit more and went with one of the most expensive options on the list - but also the most well-known, as far as I could tell.

The door itself was made well and installed properly - on time and without any issues.
But… the internal door architraves were fitted in a completely different, opposite colour - not matching the door, not matching my interior, not matching anything around it. Simply because that’s what they decided to do. I don’t know - maybe they had them left over from a previous job. Or maybe they just didn’t care.

Honestly, I’m shocked that this is even possible. This small detail completely undermines all of their work. Because if such a visible detail is done carelessly - just “because” - then I have every reason to doubt the quality of everything else that I can’t see.

(It reminds me of when a new gas boiler was installed upside down in my friends’ home - simply because it was easier to connect the pipes. 🤔 A real story.)

But this post isn’t about a door.
📌 This is my advert.

It’s about my service. About the fact that in my work, carelessness, indifference and “it’ll do” are absolutely unacceptable and simply impossible. 🤓 I pay attention to details. Always.

I am your Massage Therapist. In my practice, I use a holistic and comprehensive approach to your concerns. I apply a wide range of techniques - individually or in combination - depending on your needs, so that we can achieve effective results in the shortest possible time.

If you’re tired of pain, tired of tablets, and tired of feeling stuck - book an appointment today. I offer hands-on manual therapy, individual rehabilitation plans, and clear guidance on exactly what you need to do for a safe and confident recovery.

Don’t wait until pain becomes chronic. The sooner inflammation is addressed, the shorter your recovery time will be.

Stay healthy, and take care of yourself and your loved ones. 💙

I am still 🫣 amazed every single time…
Why do so many people - maybe even you, reading this right now - keep suffering in pain, taking tablets day after day, instead of getting proper 🤫 help? Any pain that lasts for a long time slowly turns into a chronic condition.
🥹
And when that happens:
✅ it takes longer and becomes harder to treat,
✅ the whole body starts to suffer, not just the painful area,
✅ and the longer you wait, the more problems appear.

A gentleman recently came to my clinic with severe neck pain. He told me he had not slept properly for months. His neck hurt from early morning until late evening. He was taking all kinds of painkillers every day and a very strong sleeping pill at night — nothing helped. Two years like this.
Why?
🥹
Two years ago, he had a compression fracture in his 🤭 neck. After his brace was removed, no one explained how to rehabilitate properly. For 📌 two years he kept returning to his doctor, only to receive more painkillers and the same referral to physiotherapy, where he was simply told to move his neck left and right.
🎯
After just one session at my clinic:
✨ He slept peacefully, without pain.
✨ He stopped taking all tablets.
✨ Most of his pain reduced immediately.
💯
A week later, after his second session - the pain disappeared completely.

The conclusion is simple: Do not wait and hope it will magically go away. Get proper help. I am here to support you and guide you back to a pain-free life.
Ready to feel better?
