Research reading 📖👨‍💻

Hi Team,

It's been a while since I've last posted, finishing up my degree and generally not being very 'good' at social media are two of my best excuses 😂

Just wanted to post an interesting bit of research I came across the other day that could help to inform treatment offered.

The paper is a few years old now but had some (good points and some not so good as with most research). Link to the paper below

Findings of the paper essentially showed that sports massage 1. Quickened recovery 2. Improves muscle efficiency 3. May be viable for treating muscle soreness.

Positive paper points ✅
🔴Element of randomisation in the study -reducing the risk of bais
🔴Use of a control group - for comparison of results
🔴Relevant outcome measures used - VAS for pain

Negative paper points ✖️
🔴 Small sample size (29) - applicability to wider population ?
🔴Women participants only - applicability to other genders ?
🔴 Athlete participants used - applicability to people exercising non maximally ?

Good evening team,

I haven't been as active here as I should have been lately, with finishing my dissertation and wrapping up the last couple of bits of the degree, life has been hectic.

I came across this nice little infographic about the benefits of massage I thought I would share with you all.

While Ive not come across much in the literature to confirm that massage will boost your immune function, the rest all appear to be pretty well established benefits to me.

I've still got appointment availability tomorrow evening for anyone interested.

Pop me a message or book direct on Facebook and I will be glad to help.

New uniform 👕

I managed to get a quick couple of pictures of the new uniform I had made while on lunch, in the sunshine ☀️

Absolutely over the moon with how the new uniform came out, many thanks to our friends for sorting out these special pieces for us.

Hope everyone is having a great day so far and enjoying the sun where possible 💪🏼

Mid week muscles (A day early) 💪🏼💪🏿

I've decided to try and post a little bit once a week, ideally on a Wednesday (mid way through the week) about some of the muscles in our amazing bodies.

Be it a revision tool for anyone studying anatomy, or a weekly fact bomb for anyone interested in the body, it is a glimpse of what we enjoy learning about here at

So here we go ....

We have the posterior or (back) thigh muscles or to you and me the HAMSTRINGS.

1) The hamstrings are made up of three muscles
Biceps Femoris
Semi Membranous
Semi tendinosis

2) The primary function of the hamstrings is to Flex (bend) the knee and Extend the hip (imagine straightening your leg behind you)

3) These primary functions enable lots of important movements including walking, climbing and running.

4) These muscles are extremely powerful and strong, however they can be prone to injury and tightness, especially overuse.

5) These muscles are one of the main stabilisers of the lower limb and work in conjunction with the quadriceps. When the quadriceps contract, the hamstrings lengthen.

6) Due to the insertion points of these three muscles they play an important role in the STABILISATION of the knee.

Why should you consider a Sports Massage? 🤔

Sports Massage is a Clinical form of massage that is based on a thorough assessment and knowledge base.📋

Don't be alarmed by the term "Sports" as you don't need to be an elite level athlete or training for a marathon to benefit from its application ✔️

The benefits of a Sports Massage are often both physical 💪 and psychological 🧠 with many people reporting a reduction in stress and tension alongside the physical benefits they are seeking.

See below 4 of the commonly seen physical benefits ⏬

⬆️Increase Joint Mobility and range of motion by reducing soft tissue tension.

⬇️Decreasing muscular spasm ,tightness and stiffness.

⬆️Increased Blood flow and lymphatic drainage which in turn helps to eliminate muscle fatigue and soreness.

⬆️Pain reduction by facilitating the release of endorphins, hormones known to elevate mood.
