📸 Behind the scenes: Staying current, staying connected.

This weekend I attended a brilliant Sports Therapy Association (STA) networking event, a morning full of discussion, hands-on learning, and professional development with like-minded therapists.

We shared assessment and treatment techniques, reflected on case studies, and explored ways to keep improving what we offer our clients.

It reminded me of something really important and something many people aren’t aware of:

👉 Sports Massage and Sports Therapy aren’t currently regulated professions in the UK.
That means technically, anyone can call themselves a therapist, regardless of qualifications or training.

That’s why I choose to be a member of the STA, a professional body that holds its members to high standards in:
✔️ Education
✔️ Insurance
✔️ Ethics
✔️ Continued development

So when you see the STA logo, you know you’re in safe, qualified, and evidence-informed hands.

📬 If you’ve been thinking about booking in, or want to know more about how I work, drop me a message any time. Always happy to chat.

"How often should I have a sports massage?" - I get asked this a lot.
And honestly… there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

It depends on:
✔️ Your activity level
✔️ Your stress or soreness
✔️ Your goals (performance, recovery, relaxation?)
✔️ Your schedule and budget

Some people come every 2–4 weeks to support general wellbeing, others book as needed when tension builds up.

My role? To help you figure out what works for you, not give you a rigid schedule.

👉 If you’ve been thinking about having a sports massage, this is your sign.

“Is Sports Massage Supposed to Hurt?”

Many people are nervous about booking their first sports massage because they’ve heard it’s too firm, too painful, or only for athletes.

The truth?
Massage doesn’t need to hurt to be effective.
Pain isn’t a sign that it’s “working”, and in fact, more pressure isn’t always better.

As a qualified Sports Massage Therapist, I tailor every session to YOU:
☺️Your comfort
☺️Your pain threshold
☺️Your goals

Everyone’s body is different and I’ll meet you where you are, every time.

Whether you’re training hard, stuck at a desk, or simply feeling tight and tired, your session will be personalised, respectful, and pressure you can relax into, not brace against.

Curious to try it out?
Message now to ask questions or book your session, I’m here to help you feel better, not push you past your limits.

What Can You Expect After a Massage?

You might feel:
☺️ More relaxed
☺️ Less sore
☺️ Improved range of motion
☺️ More in tune with your body

Massage isn’t a quick fix — and it doesn’t “fix” injuries.
Instead, it helps create the right environment for your body to do what it does best: heal.
By reducing stress, improving body awareness, and calming the nervous system, massage supports recovery from the inside out.

💪 Shoulder deep in learning!

Spent the day in beautiful Ludlow for a face-to-face Movement Therapy Diploma training day, all about the shoulder.

🛻 Car-camped the night before (so good to wake up in nature!), then soaked up a day full of new knowledge, practical skills, and inspiring chats with others on the course.

I do this not just for my own growth, but to continue to become the best therapist I can be to help support my clients. 📚💙

🪑 “I have terrible posture…”
I hear this a lot from clients, whether they’re working at a desk or relaxing in the evening.

So I took a few photos of my daughter sitting in different positions, some slouching, one sitting upright... and guess what?

👉 None of them are wrong.

There is no single "bad" or "good" posture. The real issue is staying in any one position for too long.

That ache or discomfort? It's not a sign you’re broken, it’s just your body reminding you to move.

✅ Your best posture is your next posture.

So instead of worrying about sitting "perfectly," focus on moving more, shifting regularly, and listening to your body.

Movement can be fun!
This weekend I took part in the MKG Summer Games, a light-hearted, social event organised by my martial arts club.
⁠
We headed to the New Forest, took part in some seriously silly challenges (you’ll see what I mean in the video 😄), and just had a great time moving, laughing, and connecting.
⁠
Exercise doesn’t have to be serious or structured, just get moving and enjoy it.

Watch the highlights below!

Why do things hurt?
This is one of my favourite TEDx talks, and one I often share with clients.

In it, Professor Lorimer Moseley tells a powerful story about walking in the Australian bush, getting bitten by one of the world’s deadliest snakes… and how that experience shaped how his brain responded to a similar (but totally harmless) event later on.

A simple twig brushed his leg.
His brain, remembering last time = snake bite = nearly died… created intense pain as a protection response, even though there was no danger.

It’s a brilliant example of how pain doesn’t always mean harm, pain is there to protect us. Sometimes it just gets a little overprotective.

Watch the video below, it’s one of the talks that helped me better understand pain and even navigate my own recovery. (I'll share more about that in a future post.)

Why do we hurt?Do we actually experience pain, or is it merely illusion?In this video, Lorimer Moseley explores these questions, and position the pain that w...
