Karina Phillips - Advanced Clinical Massage Therapist

Clinical massage with me is about so much more than the physical massage...
- it's taking time to hear what you have to say and how whatever it is that your seeing me for is impacting your life
- it's genuinely caring about how we can improve whatever it is that is causing you pain or stress
- it's creating a space in which you are not rushed
- it's making sure you're super comfy on the couch
- its advising you about changes that you can make or habits you can introduce that will make a positive difference to your life, and if for whatever reason you're not managing to implement specific homecare I give you, it's altering the plan to something that is acheiveable, or suggesting ways that you can fit it into your life more seamlessly
- it's checking in with you to see how you reacted to the treatment and answering any questions or queries you have between appointments

It is so.much.more than simply massaging you!

If you want to make a difference to your health and wellbeing, come work with me and I'll help you feel great!

I was so excited to make The Space Place a little festive this year and my clients have been loving it too 🥰

I hope everyone's Christmas prep is coming along nicely - if you're like me and a bit of a last minute crammer when it comes to shopping I do gift vouchers that can be used for one off treatments or my discounted treatment bundles - what better gift to give than one to encourage focus on health and wellbeing!?
DM or Whatsapp me if you'd like gift vouchers as they aren't available via my booking system.

Told you folks! See, I don't just make things up 🤪

This makes the fascia system arguably the body’s largest sensory organ.

What a difference 48hours makes (I won't even talk about yesterday, too wet to get the phone out for pics 😆).

Just remember folks, even when life is misty and murky, this too shall pass, the sun is always there behind the clouds (or behind the planet) and will never be that long, in the grand scheme of things, until we can bask in it's warmth and glory again.

Nature is so incredibly healing and there are so many lessons and insights it can give us to help manage our emotions and mental health 🥰

Wishing you a beautiful and joyful Friday you gorgeous being... yes you! Now put your phone down and go find something beautiful in nature to appreciate ✨️ ☺️




What have you appreciated today?

I woke today to this beautiful feedback from a very special client of mine ❤️

It really means so much when people take the time to share things like this; made my day it did 🥰

Then I got some more beautiful feedback for one of my case studies which literally made me sob. I know I'm good at what I do, I'm told often - but sometimes seeing it written down, and having those feelings validated by others is really really powerful...
Especially on day 26 apparently 🥹😭🥹😆

Get squatting folks!

Increasing lower leg muscle mass can be as easy as a set of slow squats in your kitchen. Accelerated results can be obtained by adding resistance (weight).

Happy monday gorgeous being!

This weeks musings from the massage couch are encouraging you to enjoy your massage, not endure it!

No pain no gain is a great mindset for when you're training hard at a sport or in tbe gym - not for when you're trying to encourage your body to heal - it needs to feel safe in order to do this!
You will compromise your healing if you're lying there with your tissues feeling like they are under attack!

If you feel like you don't get the reaults you need unless tbe massage is brutal - perhaps you need a different type of tissue release, myofascial work is great, slow deep tissue is great, there are many ways of working deeply into tissues without them being pummelled, battered and bruised!
