Perfect Motion - Myofascial Therapy

31/07/2025

Sore shoulders?
Are you struggling to do everyday tasks where pain or a limited range of motion hampers what you’d like to do?
Do you find it difficult to find a comfortable position to sleep?
I love shoulders, they are an amazing joint which is supported by a lot of soft tissue which includes ligaments, muscle tendons and of course fascia.
There are conditions such as frozen shoulder or a rotator cuff injury to name but two.
Did you realise that Myofascial Therapy is really beneficial in creating a positive change to help reduce symptoms and get you moving forward and able to do the things you love.
Yesterday it was wonderful to treat someone who came in with chronic,stiff and sore shoulders. On leaving they couldn’t believe how much better and more free everything felt.
I’d love to help you so do get in touch. Send a message and I will contact you as soon as I’m able.

I have done a lot of training with Ruth Duncan and Linda Currie at In Touch Education - Myofascial Release UK.
Both Ruth and Linda are fantastic teachers and have a wealth of knowledge which they are constantly keeping up to date as new discoveries about the body and fascia are researched and identified. They back their teaching with current scientific fact which they continue to pass onto to therapists both existing (like myself) and new.
The science of pain and our understanding of how the body perceives pain is evolving and I spent an amazing couple of days last year at a conference all about how we perceive pain.
Ruth’s latest blog may be too in-depth for many but for me as a practitioner of Myofascial Release it really helps me to understand what may be going on with the patient on my couch, and informs me how best to apply my skills to help.

For those that would like to have a read of the blog here is the link https://www.in-toucheducation.co.uk/blog/rethink-missing-link?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3CLwjn1zkK0jvUBgKqnlkgtdjuougLf_BmgB5McSogdcwcA-yvhPUzrgE_aem_fHh9mnuGs5IR2LRTrMGwng

I am loving this beautiful weather, it’s my favourite time of year when the flowers and trees are producing lovely fresh new foliage and flowers.

Spring seems to bring an interesting situation in my clinic of similar conditions coming through the door, almost like a popularity contest as to which issue is the most common. So I thought I’d share springs top 5 problems that are coming through into my clinic.

1 Shoulders. From frozen to restricted range of movement, all involving pain of some description. Usually a group of muscles known as the rotator cuff have a part to play in this so they will be worked on along with tissues in the neck.

2 TMJ and jaw pain. There are many causes for issues in this area from tooth grinding, jaw clenching, dental work, teeth aligning and often the jaw can be heard to pop when it moves.
I initially work externally to help change the tissues but sometimes gentle work from inside the mouth is needed with great results.

3 Plantar fasciitis, or pain underneath the foot. I find this is often linked to issues in the legs particularly calves. It’s often a progressive series of treatments that helps; when done with self care exercises I offer this can improve in a quicker timeframe.

4 Back and hips. Covers all sorts of aches and pains from an injury (in my case slipping on a padel court) to sciatic problems that seem to come from nowhere.

5 Calves and ankles. Oh the issue of an ankle strain or sprain. Usually on the outer side of the ankle and is a known weak spot for anyone who has had this happen to them before. Lets work on those muscles and soft tissues then think about strengthening the ankle joint to reduce the risk of re injury.

Fabulous holiday sailing up the Norwegian Fjords crossing into the Arctic Circle. Snowmobiling 2km from the Russian border and an added bonus of having a good look round the Kirkenes Snow Hotel, turns out a look was all I needed - no desire to spend the night on a block of ice.
Back to work tomorrow with availability on 31 March and from 2 April onwards. Get in touch if you’d like to book in.

☀️ I’ve been told this is a very British thing but the pleasure I got from pe***ng out my massage sheets for the first time this year was huge. Reminds me of my childhood. 💨 ☀️
Spring is on its way 🙌

I hadn’t realised just how thin and washed out my couch sheets had become.
I’ve had to wait for stocks to arrive but finally the new sets have arrived. I made the face holes yesterday so today’s the day!
Nice, soft and slightly different shade of blue.
Enjoy 😊

💥 Migraines/ Headaches 🤕

This post is personal as I have been a lifelong migraine sufferer.
My perception of the causes of headaches/migraines is that there are many factors that affect our body. These are like the rungs on a ladder and we can deal with a certain amount and still feel ok. BUT when the rungs become full it just takes that one little thing that tips us over the top and a dreaded migraine starts.
Each person may have different triggers but there are known common ones.
Did you know that there are things you can do to help reduce these triggers so that your ‘ladder’ remains unfilled?
A Myofascial Release treatment is a gentle treatment that can have a profound influence on the central nervous system which can change sleep patterns and stress levels as well as altering the sensation of tension around the head, neck and shoulders.
For more information have a look at my website or contact Alison via email to find out more.
