Do you suffer shin splints?

Neuromuscular massage therapy may help shin splints by addressing the underlying muscle imbalances and dysfunction through techniques like deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy to relieve tension and improve flexibility.

How neuromuscular therapy helps
Addresses muscle imbalances: Shin splints often result from overuse, which can create imbalances in the muscles of the lower leg. Neuromuscular therapy targets these imbalances, strengthening weaker muscles and releasing tension in tighter ones.
Improves tissue quality: Techniques like deep tissue massage and myofascial release work to break down adhesions and release tight fascia (connective tissue) in the muscles and along the shinbone.
Reduces pain: Trigger point therapy focuses on specific muscle knots in the calves and shins that can refer pain, while lymphatic drainage massage can help reduce swelling.

I opened my studio on July 1st 2024.

Tonight I have completed my 1500th massage. I'm absolutely blown away. I never even dreamed I would reach this number in this time.

There are so many people I could thank for their help, support, recommendations and regular visits but it would take a day to read.

I will say thank you to all of my followers and all of my clients.

I love my job so much and will continue to study, learn and keep making your experience as pleasurable as possible.

Thank you all and here's to the next 1,500 ❤️

What is Neuromuscular Therapy?

Neuromuscular therapy (NMT) is a form of manual therapy that uses sustained pressure on soft tissues like muscles to relieve pain and restore function. It involves identifying and treating specific muscle tension, trigger points, and nerve compression to address pain, headaches, and chronic muscular issues by improving blood flow and retraining the nervous system. Therapists use their hands to apply targeted pressure with techniques like stretching, deep tissue massage, and myofascial release

Do you suffer Migraines?

I am looking for 3 people who would be willing to help with putting into practice my Deep Tissue Neuromuscular training?

I would like to offer 3 treatments free of charge to see if I can help alleviate the symptoms suffered.

This will take the form of a lifestyle assessment and a deep tissue massage focusing on the muscles that are often subject to significant tension. these are muscles in the shoulder, neck and face.

If this is of interest to you then please drop your name in the comments and I will take the first 3 that are interested.

A free hour so clear the mind and enjoy the peace. I hate the cold but it doesn't matter when it's such a gorgeous stroll along the canal.

Life is good 🥰

Coming soon Cupping Massage

We will soon be offering cupping as part of our treatment range.

What is cupping? What are the benefits and how does it work?

Cupping massage is an ancient alternative medicine technique that uses suction to increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing. It involves placing cups on the skin to create a vacuum, which can be used in a moving or static way to massage tissues. The therapy can leave temporary circular bruises that fade in a few days.

Types of cupping
Dry cupping: Cups are placed on the skin to create a vacuum without any incisions. This is a common and non-invasive method.
Mobile cupping: Cups are moved over the skin with a lighter vacuum, similar to a gliding massage.
Static cupping: Cups are placed on specific points and left to create suction, which draws blood to the area to promote healing.

How it works
A vacuum seal is created on the skin using cups made of glass, bamboo, or silicone.
The suction pulls the skin and underlying tissue upward, which can help stretch the muscles and fascia.
This process is believed to increase blood flow to the area, reduce pain, and help break up adhesions.
What to expect
Potential marks: Temporary circular marks, or bruising, are common and can vary in colour from light yellow to dark purple. These typically fade within a few days to a week.
Temporary soreness: You may feel temporary soreness or a tight sensation after a session, depending on the intensity of the treatment.
Pain: A licensed practitioner should perform the massage, and it should not be painful.

Possible side effects: Some people may feel lightheaded, dizzy, or experience flu-like symptoms temporarily.

So often clients have come to me with pain in various parts of the body. The back, the hip, the knee, the calf.

When I tell them that the problem may be their feet they appear surprised. How can it be from the feet?

The Ripple Effect

Poor foot mechanics don't just affect the feet - they create a cascade of compensation patterns that can impact the entire kinetic chain. Without understanding this connection, you're only treating symptoms, not causes.

Common mechanical issues

Overpronation: The foot rolls excessively inward, which can flatten the arch and lead to conditions like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, and knee pain.

Supination (or underpronation): The foot rolls excessively outward, which can make it a more rigid structure and a poor shock absorber.

Calf tightness: Tight calf muscles can significantly impact foot mechanics and are often linked to foot pain and other issues.

Love this 😊

Amazing charity and a pleasure and privilege to work for them

During 2025, we're shining a light on 25 heroes of CancerCare who have all made a significant difference to the lives of people who need it in their local community.

2️⃣1️⃣/2️⃣5️⃣

Next in the series is one of our therapists, Mark!

Mark is a Massage Therapist who works out of both the Slynedales and Kendal Centres. He’s impacted the lives of so many local people since he first joined CancerCare.

Mark said: “When I qualified as a therapist, I wanted to use massage to help with mental health. Freeing muscles and reducing pain has a significant impact on a person’s mental wellbeing. CancerCare was my first choice — what better place is there to offer the service.”

Mark was the first male Massage Therapist to join CancerCare. He added: “That was daunting in a way, but all of the staff and clients have made this job a pleasure. I look forward to work every day.”

As well as being part of the team, Mark is also a prolific fundraiser, having taken on various running challenges in aid of us. Mark’s extreme fitness endeavours are certainly not for the faint-hearted; his most recent effort saw him run along Hadrian’s Wall. Starting in Newcastle and finishing in Bowness, he ran a total of 84 miles in under 24 hours.

Mark, Team CancerCare and your clients appreciate you so much!
