You'll often find me stretching & running through mobility exercises before & after treating patients at clinic, and I'm a big believer that movement is medicine (& it sure is for me - on many levels).

I always include mobility in my own exercise routines, as well as using drills as a standalone activity, but I will also often include relevant mobility exercises in the rehab programs I provide too.

Self care is not a luxury - it is a vital step in maintaining your long term health & wellbeing ๐Ÿซถ

Investing in yourself is not just for when you're feeling 'flush' & need a treat - you deserve to prioritise and accomodate regular sessions into your budget- you don't need to explain it or feel guilty ๐Ÿ’ธ

Supporting your recovery is not just for athletes - anyone involved in sport or activity should be taking active steps to look after their bodies ๐Ÿคธโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Allowing yourself moments of calm, having 'time-out' , and receiving a treatment 'just because' is not something to feel guilty for - prevention is better than cure. Regular sessions keep issues at bay . And you DO deserve it ๐Ÿฅฐ

Sports therapy is not just for sporty people! - office workers, desk users, drivers, trades people, mums, dads, weekend warriors, walkers, runners, older, younger, all shapes & sizes !!!!! You all have a body that is working hard for you! Give it the support it deserves with regular sessions ๐Ÿค—

Your body deserves the best care.

Level up with a sports therapy session, sports massage or remedial relaxation session with kirsty!

From shin splints to IT band syndrome, niggling knees & tired muscles, targeted treatments like massage, stretching, passive mobility and strength exercises can reduce pain, speed recovery, and prevent future injuries.

Plus โ—๏ธ optimizing biomechanics, normalising movement patterns & releasing tension may boost performance, help you run faster and longer.

Stay strong, run smart! ๐Ÿ’ช

For EVERYONE......
Or EVERYTHING.......

But when it clicks or works for your body, it can be a game changer with managing injury or pain & avoiding escalation of symptoms.

It is not a magic remedy, & rarely does one session solve all your body woes, but regular treatments can play a vital role in avoiding & managing dysfunction.

By encouraging normal movement patterns, releasing tension & providing education around how you can help yourself, a knowledgeable therapist can play a strong role in your road to recovery.

Here in clinic, my focus is empowering you to understand the mechanisms behind injury & pain, & offer advise on the steps or exercises you can implement in order to help yourself inbetween our hands-on sessions.

โ˜€๏ธ Beat the heat: Train safe in this hot weather!

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธSummer workouts are awesome, but hot weather can be a blessing & a curse when it comes to training - tempted out to enjoy the glorious weather? Follow these tips to stay safe:

๐Ÿ’ง Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Drink water before, during, and after your session. Ensure you have enough for the distance you plan to do.
๐Ÿ•‘ Time it right. Train early in the morning or late evening to avoid peak heat & midday sun
๐Ÿ‘• Dress smart. Wear light, breathable clothing and a hat to stay cool & eye wear to protect your eyes
๐Ÿ‹๏ธ Listen to your body. Dizziness, nausea, or extreme fatigue? Stop, find shade, cool off, and rest. Stop the session & don't push yourself through.
๐ŸŒž Sunscreen is your friend. Protect your skin with SPF 30+ to avoid burns.
๐Ÿคณ Have a fully charged phone & always let someone know where you are, what route you plan to take & check in once you are home safely
โ„๏ธ Cool down properly. Use a cold towel or take a quick dip to lower your body temp post-workout. Don't suddenly stop excessive exercise, walk to cool down to avoid blood pooling.
๐Ÿšฐ Replenish Electrolytes post exercise - Sodium. Potassium & Magnesium are lost through sweat & are vital for normal muscle & nerve function & for fluid balance. Find a good supplement that replenishes lost stores to take post activity.

Donโ€™t let the heat sideline youโ€”train smart and stay safe! ๐Ÿ’ช

Our Story

Treatments call on a combination of soft tissue massage, fascial work, trigger point therapy and manual therapy (joint/spinal mobilisations), as well as Kinesiology taping, Medical Acupuncture and Scar Work when clinically appropriate.

Rehabilitation exercises are also given when appropriate, to enhance recovery through exercise therapy, via a web-based physio platform, which patients are given access to.

Reflexology& Ayurvedic Face Massage treatments are available for stress management, and to combat the physical impact stress can have on the digestive and visceral organs.

Kirsty has trained to BSc Hons University level, at a leading London University reputed for the provision and development of the Sports Therapy Profession . The university has close links with the Society of Sports Therapists (the governing body for graduate sports therapists). Treatments therefore have a strong emphasis on clinical reasoning, and come from a sound understanding of Functional Anatomy & a well grounded understanding of the body, dysfunction, and the mechanism of injury. However, Kirsty is uniquely able to bring an intuitive & holistic approach to sessions, in order to offer a fully-rounded treatment suitable to all populations (not just the sporting person), allowing her to work on a physical, emotional and energetic level, as required.
