A great episode of Slided Bread about standing desks and posture! If you work on a computer / seated most of the time, this is one for you!

Can standing desks help relieve muscle tension, back pain, and reduce stress?

Back to work, folks!

While for many august brings holidays and sand in between the toes, for me it’s back to the clinic after couple of months of travelling!

On the upside, it’s So Nice to be Back!!

And with the rays of the morning sun, the first festival of the year commences. From today Friday until Monday, we are massaging at the ☀️

I am only doing this little number and of course, the mighty Glastonbury Festival ( ) in June this year… truth being told, I’m not very skilled in camping and my hips love a comfortable bed these days!

If you are in either festival, do come for a treat 🙌

While I mainly work from my treatment room in Glastonbury, I still do some home visits.

And why not, as the journey to a session can sometimes be so utterly gorgeous!

Somerset summer 💚

Sleep deprivation and pain

Not only can we get mentally and emotionally cranky after a badly slept night, but a loss of sleep can lead to increased sensitivity to pain.

Exposing your eyes to the morning light (yes, even if it is overcast!☁️) can help reset the circadian rhythm, aiding good natural sleep cycle.

The biggest challenge these days for folks seems to be avoiding screen time in the evenings… however, this may be a must especially for those who really struggle with their sleep. The blue light from our gadgets do interfere with the production of melatonin, our sleep hormone 😒

The fantastic sleep researcher Matthew Walker (author of Why We Sleep) has done a ton of in-depth interviews, which drill into the importance of good, sound sleep… if you’re interested to learn more, simply tuck into any of the interviews with him (my favourite one being the 3 part podcast he did with with Dr Peter Attia.. all and all about 5h long!)

So… if you’re feeling achey, do ask yourself if you’re sleeping OK. Then run a magnesium bath - and then book a massage 🙌 (I would say that tho, would I not)

Pain in the neck - is your mobile/pad to blame? Massage will help to relieve strained muscles and also help re-train our proprioception.

Because you can start at any age. And because being strong helps you do stuff you love.

Directly quote from the article:
“These people were dedicated, and they got stronger. The smallest strength gain was 61%. The largest was 374%. The average gain was 174%. The average increase in walking speed as measured by tandem gait was almost 50%. The magnitude of improvements for men and women were the same. Their muscles had not only grown stronger, but also bigger. In 1990, the Journal of the American Medical Association published results of Fiatarone’s study, a paper now widely considered to mark the start of a paradigm shift in scientific understanding of muscle, strength and ageing. The 90-year-olds’ muscles grew by almost the same amount that a younger person’s muscles would grow in response to a similar lifting program.”

And the exercise the study subjects did? A mere knee extension!

Now, where were my ankle weights…?

Not long to go now!

Next year on the field will be the last before a rest-year for the festival, so if you’re able to make it, make the best out of it! ☀️🌱
