Do you have to be an athlete to get a Sports Massage? 🏃‍♂️❌

The short answer is: No.

I get asked this all the time! Many people feel they aren’t “active enough” or “fit enough” to book a session, but the truth is, Sports Massage is for every body.

I see a wide range of people at Broadstone Physio & Chiropractic Clinic and at my own treatment room in West Canford Heath, all coming to me for different reasons:

🖥️ Office workers with desk related tension.

🛠️ Tradespeople with heavy duty aches.

🏃‍♀️ Runners & Gym goers who might have overdone it lately.

🌸 Peri-menopausal women navigating new body changes.

🧘 Exercise class lovers feeling the post workout “stiff.”

☕ Retired people wanting to stay mobile and independent

Everyone is unique and has their own story. Whether you’ve been out of your routine over the Christmas period or you’re dealing with long term stiffness, I am here to help.

My clinic room is a judgment free zone. I’m not here to judge your fitness level, your weight, or anything else. I’m here to listen to your story, offer support and provide hands on relief, and give you the confidence to get moving again.

Let’s get you feeling like a better version of you in 2026. ✨

New Year’s Day well spent ❄️🌊
Cold sea dip this morning, long beach walk later and the moon to finish the day.

I’d love to know, how did you spend your New Year’s Day? 💙

As this year comes to a close, I wanted to share this lovely card I was given by a client. 🩵

"Enjoy the little moments,
Be grateful for each day,"
The moon smiled down and whispered ~
"It's going to be ok"

A little reminder that sometimes it's the small things that matter most.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me with their care this year. It's been a privilege to support you, whether that's easing pain, helping you move more freely, or simply offering a space to pause and reset.

Here's to looking after ourselves, moving a little more, and being kind to our bodies in the year ahead. ✨

Happy New Year 💫

I’ve heard a few people say over Christmas
“my back’s been playing up” or “I feel so stiff lately”.

More often it’s not that anything is damaged, it’s that our bodies have had more sitting, less moving, and a change in routine.

Our bodies adapt to what we do (and what we don’t).
A bit less movement can mean things feel tighter or more sensitive, especially this time of year.

The good news?
Gentle movement, getting back into routine, and gradually loading the body again usually helps things settle.
Sometimes the smallest bit of movement is enough to remind your body that it’s okay again.

How has your body been feeling over the festive break?

Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas!🎄

This sums up modern pain science so well, what shows up on a scan doesn't automatically equal pain or limitation. Shared by a fellow therapist and mentor who’s played a big part in my own learning journey. Thought this was too good not to share 👌

Pain and tightness don’t usually come from one thing, they can build up over time.

That’s why my approach isn’t just hands on massage, but understanding how your body moves, loads, and adapts.

Sometimes you just need a massage.
Sometimes massage + the right exercises helps pain stay away.

📩 Appointments available, message to book or ask what would suit you best.

As the day slows down, here’s a gentle reminder to make space for something that brings you back to yourself, even if it’s just for a few quiet minutes.

A few deep breaths.
A moment of stillness.
A stretch that feels good.
A mindful pause before the week picks up again.

Wellbeing isn’t built from big gestures…
It’s built from these small moments of presence, especially at the end of a busy day. ✨🩵

I’ve been chatting to my assistant Bertie (he’s the one in the Santa hat!) and we were discussing just how amazing the body’s protective response really is.
When your brain perceives damage, or even the threat of damage, it creates pain as a way to protect you.
What's important to know is that pain is multifactorial. Many factors can influence how much pain you feel, including:
✨ Beliefs
✨ Past experiences
✨ Sleep quality
✨ Stress
✨ Fear
✨ Anxiety or low mood
✨ Work/life balance
✨ Body weight
Sometimes, this amazing protective system becomes extra sensitive, and pain can persist even when there’s no ongoing harm. That’s where understanding pain science can make a big difference.

Sports massage, movement strategies, and learning how pain works can really help calm things down and give you confidence in your body again.

If you can’t wait for the next post and have any questions, feel free to get in touch, I’m always happy to help.
