Not all sports therapists are created equal.

Here are 3 green flags that tell you you’ve chosen the right one 💚

👂 They listen
🙏 They care
📕 They educate

When you're treated as an individual, with treatment tailored specifically to your needs, you're in great hands.

What other qualities do you think also make a good green flag? 💚

This is not about criticism of other therapists as such, just outdated narratives and language still used by some. And there's lots more things I could list too!

We need to stop fear mongering and explain things to our clients truthfully. We need to educate and guide our clients to ensure they feel safe & reassured. Not making them feel reliant on endless passive treatments.

Yes, passive treatments do provide short term relief and neurological responses, which can then in turn have a positive effect towards how someone feels about movement and therefore feeling better.

Therapists have the responsibility to keep themselves up to date with the relevant research and evidence based practice, and stop using outdated terms and phrases.

You have the right to ask why, how and challenge anything your therapist says to you, to ensure there is clarity on both sides.

What phrases/terminology have you been told in the past?

Whilst online booking is the quickest way to secure your appointment, it's not the only way ☺️

Quite a few people use the online system simply to see live availability and then they drop me a text/WhatsApp or email to secure the slot, and then just pay on the day of the appointment.

Or if you're just not that tech savvy, or prefer to book in more traditional ways, you can call or email, leave me a message with your details, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Simple!

Links to online booking can be found in the bio.

If your job leaves you stiff, sore, or exhausted — this post is for you. Here are some simple ways to feel better without changing careers.

🤸‍♀️ Mini movement snacks - your body doesn't like being in one position for long periods of time. Get up, move your body, change position - whatever is appropriate for you - for 2 minutes, every 30-60 minutes. Variety is key!

🚰 Keep hydrated! Dehydrated tissues = stiff & sore tissues!

🧘‍♀️ End of day 5 minutes mobility routine - if your job is strenuous or involves a lot of repetition, we need to counter balance this with actions that work the opposite muscle groups that you've been using all day. Try a simple full body yoga flow.

💆‍♀️ Book a massage - keep on top of those aches & pains before they stop you in your tracks

Your job doesn't have to hurt.

Save this post. Your future body will thank you ❣️

So the final installment following my review of 2025 are things I will START doing in 2026

10 days into the month and I have made progress on all three of these already.

✅ Goal setting workbook completed (thanks & .biz )

✅ Schedule made with my case study participant (thanks ) and initial data & movement assessments completed. Small steps.

✅ Half way through my first book - The Satsuma Complex by Bob Mortimer

There's still plenty to be cracking on with, but I am also trying not to overload myself with thinking I have to do everything at once. The goal setting workbook has helped me isolate the priorities and also what things drain my energy.

Weekly brain dumps onto paper also help me visualise my week and also stick to that work life balance I mentioned in my previous post.

What things have you committed to starting in 2026?

Sports massage and soft tissue treatments are often not about just being a quick fix, but are more beneficial when utilised as long term care. 

Regular maintenance massage keeps your muscles strong, joints robust and helps reduce the likelihood of injuries. It supports better recovery and overall muscle health. 

Muscular fatigue can have a big impact on performance. 

If we wait until we are in pain, it's a late warning sign. A warning sign that has probably been building because of tightness, fatigue, overuse and compensation patterns. 

Massage and soft tissue treatments, when had regularly, help identify and address these issues before they escalate, and stop you from being able to move without pain & discomfort. 

I personally have some kind of soft tissue maintenance treatment every 4-6 weeks, but your regular could be 2, 4, 6, 8 or even 10 weeks. It's about making it work for you.  

Many of you do already schedule your regular treatments, and I hope you feel these are keeping you moving well, and injury free? Perhaps comment below?

If you take your physical health seriously, regular hands-on treatment can play an important role in supporting it. 

Drop me a line for more information or to book an appointment and start supporting your physical health today.

One of the most common reasons that injuries happen is because we don't get the load v capacity right and overuse occurs.

Every tissue in the body has a certain capacity.

If you apply a load greater than the capacity of that tissue, or apply it too quickly, you increase your risk of pain and/or injury because the tissue do not have time to adapt.

However, if you're sensible, apply load gradually over time, the tissues DO have time to make adaptation to that load and the capacity increases inline, and therefore injury prevalence decreases.

✅Muscles become stronger
✅Bone density increases
✅Tendons build more resilience 

Starting a new activity or increasing the amount of activity too quickly - the load increases at a rate too fast than the capacity of the tissues. The tissues start to damage, and the capacity of those tissues decreases even further. So take it steady! Get advice from a fitness/health professional if you're not sure.

Other external factors also play a part in decreasing capacity, such as stress, illness, sleep, nutrition, as they can inhibit the ability of the tissues to recover.

Does this sound like a pattern you have suffered with your injuries? If so, get in touch, as I can help!

There are actually many more things that I will continue to do, but these were the ones which definitely add the most value to living a wholesome, happy life.

I also find great value in all of these things too -

Meal planning, weekly brain dump, routine weekly household tasks, spending time outside, morning hot water & lemon, daily supplements, making our own kefir, to-do lists, notebooks, financial tracking & awareness, visiting new places, supporting small & local businesses.

So this post is about appreciation of the positive things in your life, and their value.

I bet if you sit down and assess what things help make your life easier, healthier and less stressful, there's more there than you realise.
