⚠️ The truth behind being a sports masseuse! 💆‍♀️

Slide 1: What they don’t tell you when you train as a sports masseuse 🤔

Slide 2: It’s never just a ‘tight shoulder’.
You become part- therapist, part detective uncovering years of stress and old injuries.

Slide 3: The noises
You’ll hear noises you can never un-hear. 🙉🤣

Slide 4: Everybody is different
Same muscle group, totally different feel
Concrete Vs marshmallow- and everything in between

Slide 5: The oversharing
You’ll hear work drama, family updates, training plans, dog stories… the list is endless….

Slide 6: Laundry reality
‘They didnt warn us about the laundry.. it never ends!😳😳

Slide 7: The banter factor
50% technique
50% (professional) humour! 🤣🤣

Slide 8: The magic expectation
‘ Can you fix my 10yr old problem in one session?’
Apparently we’re magicians 🪄🤣 (who knew? lol )

Slide 9: You actually care
They become your community , and make your work easier 🤩🙌

✨ Why Quality Products Matter in Every Session ✨

When you book a massage, you’re trusting me with your body, your recovery, and your comfort.

That’s why what goes on your skin matters just as much as what I do with my hands.

Here’s why I only use high-quality, skin-safe products on every client:

💧 Better for Your Skin
No harsh chemicals—just products that nourish, hydrate, and protect.

🔥 Better Glide, Better Pressure
Good waxes allow me to work deeper, smoother, and more effectively without irritation.

🛡️ Reduced Risk of Reactions
Fragrance-free, natural, options help keep sensitive skin happy.

💆‍♂️ Better Treatment Experience
The right product enhances relaxation, improves muscle response, and supports recovery.

🏆 Professional Standards
You deserve the same level of care and quality that I expect for my own body.

Because your session is more than a massage—it’s an investment in your health.
And quality is never optional.

🙆 Mobility & Recovery: Daily or dedicated days? 🙆‍♀️

When it comes to taking care of your body, you don’t need complicated routines or hours of effort. The key is consistency — and keeping it simple.

Some people like to incorporate mobility and recovery into their daily schedule — a few stretches in the morning, rolling out tight spots after work, or a quick walk between sessions. Others prefer to dedicate 1–2 days each week to active recovery, longer mobility work, or slower, intentional movement.

Both approaches work — the goal isn’t perfection, it’s consistency. Even small, simple actions every day or focused recovery sessions weekly can drastically improve flexibility, joint health, posture, and overall performance.

Mobility and recovery aren’t just “extras” — they’re what keep you moving, feeling good, and performing at your best. By keeping it simple, you remove the pressure to do it “perfectly” and make it easier to stick with long-term.

Whether it’s a few minutes each day or a dedicated session twice a week, show up for your body, keep moving, and let recovery do its work. Small, consistent efforts compound into big results — and your body will thank you.

🍑 Glutes & Hamstrings 🍑

Your glutes and hamstrings do a lot more for you than just powering your workouts. 🍑🦵

• They stabilise your pelvis when you walk, stand, or lift
• They support hip extension and protect your knees
• They’re constantly working, even when you don’t notice it

That’s why they’re one of the most common areas I treat on the table.

Tightness can come from training hard or from sitting too much — both overload these muscles in different ways. When they’re restricted, you might notice:

⚡ Low back tension
⚡ Knee discomfort
⚡ Reduced mobility in squats, hinges or lunges

Sports massage helps release that tension, improve blood flow, and restore movement so your body feels smoother in and out of the gym and in your functional day to day movement.

Pairing treatment with mobility work (hip bridges, hamstring stretches, glute activation drills) helps the effects last longer. 👌

So whether you’re lifting, running, or sitting at a desk all day — don’t ignore your glutes and hammies. They’re working harder than you think.”

A session on the table can make all the difference- DM to enquire 👌

🪢 What is a knot?!! 🪢 🤔

This has got to be one of the most common questions I get asked.

They can be exacerbated by:

Overuse/repetitive movements
Poor posture
Stress/tension
Lack of mobility

They can quite literally affect not only your movement and performance but can be EXTREMELY painful to touch.

Knots summed up are literally:

Muscles that are bunched up causing blood vessels to restrict blood flow.
Muscles need a good blood supply to work efficiently. Due to restrictions caused by tightening of fascia/ connective tissues around the muscles this causes a build up of the body’s natural waste

This in effect causes symptoms like:

🩹 painful, tender, trigger points
💪🏻 muscle weakness and restricted range of movement
🤕 other physical symptoms like headaches/ migraines
😩 referred pain to other areas

Massage can help by:

✨releasing tension in the fibres
✨improving blood flow and movement
✨resetting the muscle so it can relax

So next time you feel a ‘knot’, book yourself in for a maintenance massage and don’t put up with them 🙌

💪🏻 STRONG BODIES, SMART HABITS 💆

“What would you tell your younger self about maintenance and recovery”?

🟠 Recovery isn’t just for the injured
🟠 Maintenance isn’t boring — it’s smart
🟠 Good habits don’t have an age limit, but starting young makes them stick

So we stretch.
We breathe.
We slow down after we go hard.
Not because we’re hurt — but because we want to stay strong for the long run.

This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about planting the seed early — so looking after our bodies is just normal.
That’s the habit I’m teaching. That’s the cycle we’re breaking.

It’s never to late to start, so for you reading this:

It’s not too late for you either.
We all start somewhere.
Let this be your reminder and get in touch 👌

💆‍♀️ Bring your Husband to Work Day 💪🏻

I believe everybody deserves to move well, feel strong and recover fully.
You push hard, train smart and come for recovery because you know you deserve it.

Flipping the script to show your other half/ friend what this entails and giving them an insight into the benefits of taking time out for yourself is beneficial for so many reasons.

🔹Let them feel that calf release
🔹Finding out what a glute trigger point is
🔹Understanding about imbalances in their body
🔹Getting rid of that tension in your shoulders

Let’s make it ‘their turn’ and show them what they’re missing.

Tag, share or just book them in and let their body do the talking..
