Rhonda came to see me for the first time in February. She had a previous back injury and was prepping for a busy mountain biking season ahead! 🚵‍♀️

We worked out what was important, alleviated any back pain and started to strengthen the hips ready for endless miles over the South Downs.

Rhonda and I have been working together on a monthly basis to keep any aches at bay and continue building on new strength for the Summer! ☀️

Do you love to keep active?

It’s important to have someone in your corner who can understand the strains of your favourite activities and how to keep you feeling your best. Drop me a message if you would like to hear how I can help you!

Treatment prices will be increasing slightly to reflect continued professional development and the evolving focus of the clinic. Since moving to Elite, I have continued to upskill by gaining 2 new qualifications, with more planned soon.

Move Well Sussex will continue to operate as a small practice, working with a limited number of clients each week so that every session can remain focused and individual.

My aim is always the same - helping active individuals to stay consistent with training, manage injuries and keep moving well for the long term. Any bookings made for May already will be honoured at the price at the time of the booking.

Clients on memberships, from the 1st May, these will change in line with the new pricing. I will continue to reward consistency as proactive care is better than reactive care and as such, a reduction in price is available (swipe for details). These separate prices are also available to blue light card holders.

Thank you again for choosing to work with me, I am so grateful that I get to do sports massage therapy and personal training as a job and I want to continue to offer the best possible service to all clients.

🌤 Sunshine Moments – a daily remembering of light, here’s your invitation to a gentle 30-day exploration.

Life feels heavy and loud for many of us right now.
The outside world is full of constant noise, intensity, and unsettling events.

I’m not denying what’s happening but from past experience I know that when times feel dark and heavy, continually looking there takes me away from remembering the peace that is always within us. Peace is not something to find. It is who we are and where we come home to.

Several years ago, I began noticing Sunshine Moments during a very challenging time in my life. Each day I would pause to notice one small moment of light and write it down. Over time, those small moments slowly changed the way I experienced my days and reminded me of the light that is always present.

Now I’m offering a simple 30-day WhatsApp group space called Sunshine Moments. It is a quiet place to pause once a day and notice a small moment of light without denying the dark.

Just one gentle question each day:
What was my sunshine moment today?

Not to fix life.
Not to force gratitude.
Not to think positively.

But to remember the duality of our humanness, that light and dark can coexist, and that light is not something we create but who we are and what remains ever present.

This is a quiet space to land.
No pressure to share.
No advice-giving or processing.
No constant engagement.

Over the 30 days, participants will also receive:
• A Sunshine Moments journal to reflect and record your moments
• Occasional gentle prompts, reflections, and a daily affirmation card
• A supportive, small WhatsApp group space to share if you wish

There is a small contribution of £10 to cover the cost of the journal and holding the space.
If finances are tight, please reach out. This is not meant to exclude anyone.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, tired of the noise, or simply longing for a moment of peace in your day, you are very welcome here.

Sometimes all it takes is one small moment to bring us home.

If you’d like to join, simply send me a message or reply below. I’ll then collect your mobile number for the WhatsApp group, your address to post the journal, and arrange the small contribution of £10 to cover costs.

We’ll begin our 30-day Sunshine Moments journey on the first day of spring, March 20th. This gives time for journals to arrive and for everyone to settle into the WhatsApp group before we start.

Towards the end of 2025 and the beginning of this year, Danni had been coming to see me for pain in her hip. She’s an avid adventure seeker and unfortunately, the pain got in the way of her trail running. ⛰️

Over a handful of sessions we were able to tackle the pain together, build in exercises to target Danni’s hip stability and get her back on the trails!

The racing season is kicking off for runners, with several high profile races on the horizon over the coming months.

Have you entered a race and started to feel a ni**le? Get it checked before it impacts your hobby. I would be happy to help! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

If exercise is a big part of your life, there’s 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 worse than not being able to move how you want to. 😫 Whether that’s down to a ni**le or something more long term, a proactive approach is always smarter than reactive treatment. 👨‍🔬

Regular treatment can help you handle your training without needing time off, it can also become very useful in the run up to sporting events like races or gym comps.

Move Well Monthly Memberships offer the potential of multiple treatments with discounts. If you’d like to become a member, let’s have a chat about your training and how I can help you get the most out of each treatment.

It’s been a pleasure working with Martin so far. Not only are we working on keeping him in tip top shape but also addressing muscle imbalances to improve his sporting performance. 👨‍🔧

High jump is very demanding with uneven stress placed across several areas of the body through the run up and jumping phases. 🏃‍♂️

Onwards and upwards for an exciting 2026! 📅

➡️ Whether you’re new to fitness or training for an event, muscular ni**les are common occurences. Don’t let them hinder your progress - I would love to help ensure you’re looking after your recovery.

What is the IT Band? 🦵

The full name is the Iliotibial Band. It’s a thick band of fascial tissue that runs from your hip to just below the outside of your knee.

IT Band tension is an important ni**le to look out for, it usually presents as discomfort on the outside of the knee, hip or thigh. Ignoring it can lead to bigger issues down the line.

Assessing tension 🔎

When it comes to assessing and treating tension in the band, I assess the knee and hip. This includes looking at the glutes, quadriceps, adductors, hip flexors and hamstrings.

As you can see from the video, Bekki had 2 adhesions close to her IT Band that were creating an increased level of discomfort. The adhesions were in her outer Quadriceps (Vastus Lateralis) and when the muscle twitches you can see it move toward the IT Band.

By relieving tension in the Quadriceps, Hip Flexors and cupping the band itself as an added layer of treatment, she can continue running pain free.

Why cupping is effective 🐙

The band itself becomes inflamed and tight, manual massage techniques often rely on applying pressure, something that is likely to irritate the band more.

One of the modalities I offer is dry cupping for treatments like this one. By warming up the tissue and then applying cups, that lift the tissue, rather than compress the area, I can effectively relieve discomfort without increasing irritation to clients.

Right then, hands up, who has felt IT Band discomfort before? 🙋‍♂️

Shout out to my runners, hybrid athletes and HYROXers, these helpful tips are for you 🫡

1️⃣ Gluteus medius (a common troublemaker for runners)�Ever noticed pain at the back or side of your hip? The glute med helps stabilise the hip during running, but it’s easy to overload. Studies show peak gluteus medius force during the stance phase of running can reach about 32% of your body weight, highlighting the crucial role they play. Often, I see individuals with poor internal and external rotation of the hip that struggle with gluteus medius problems.

2️⃣ Look after your feet�Make sure your shoes are comfortable and give your toes room to work. Running shoes can be snug — don’t be afraid to size up or try a wider toe box shoe. Strengthen your plantar fascia with toe scrunches, work on big toe mobility, and include balance work. Using barefoot or minimalist shoes for walking can help, but introduce them slowly.

3️⃣ Single-leg strength matters�Running is essentially a series of single-leg hops. Big strength imbalances will show up, sometimes as overuse on the stronger side rather than pain in the weaker leg.

4️⃣ Check your gait�Do you pronate or supinate excessively? Stability shoes can help overpronation in the short term, but don’t rely on them. Build strength in the ankle and hip to support the foot. Excessive supination has no quick shoe fix, however insoles and shortening your stride may help. More ni**les along the outside of the leg (peroneals) and (IT Band) may occur if strength and control aren’t addressed for excessive supination.

5️⃣ The hard truth: load management�This one stings — I’ve learned it the hard way. Most runners I treat are injured due to overuse: too much, too soon. Slow, steady progress wins. Be kind to your body and trust the process — longevity beats a quick win every time.
