We have all heard over the years how having good posture is key to everything! .......... But how wrong is this! 😬 Evidence develops our understanding, and this allows us to grow as therapists, to provide the BEST support possible to our clients. We are STRONG and ADAPTABLE, have confidence in your body and ability 💪🏃‍♀️

❌ Time to move on from the ‘poor posture’ story
More and more therapists are now learning that so called poor posture does not equal pain, and they are helping clients understand that their body is not broken because one shoulder is higher or their pelvis is not perfectly level.

💡 Posture is an adaptable structural process.
It shifts to help us get through everyday life, to manage load, stress, fatigue and mood. Different height shoulders, a tilted pelvis or a small leg length difference can be completely normal and fully functional.

✅ A modern approach
Stop blaming posture and symmetry for every pain problem
See structure as one small piece in a much bigger picture
Focus on confidence, capacity and movement options, not trying to straighten people to match a chart

🤝 A kind but clear invitation
As a profession we can gently leave behind the old structural model that assumes crooked equals damaged. Modern practice means using updated pain science, better language and a more rounded view of the person in front of us.

👋 a re-introducrion of myself, it’s been a while!

I started my career over 20 years ago, training as a Beauty and Complementary Therapist, and studied a Level 3 Sports Massage course.

I fell in love with massage. I loved the way it made people feel from a holistic point of view — improving confidence, mental well-being, move better, feel better, and how grateful I felt to be able to support in that way.

Not fully sure where I wanted my career to go,
In my early 20s, I started teaching in further education while working in industry, and continuing to study. Deepening my understanding of injury, pain, recovery, and how mental well-being and social experiences affect the body.

This was a game changer for me!

The more I learnt, the more I wanted to know so I could support people better.

I studied Level 4 Sports Massage and Level 5 Soft Tissue Therapy, which gave me more skills and techniques to support a wide range of clients.

I never wanted to work only with sportsmen and women — I wanted to work with everyone!

⚡️Long-term pain

⚡️Lost confidence in movement

⚡️Unsure about what to do next

⚡️Lack of confidence in a gym setting and don’t know where to start

⚡️ Recovering from injury or managing ongoing pain

⚡️ Massage simply to support their mental well-being — because the power of touch is incredible!

🌟 My approach is always client-centered 🌟

That means every aspect of the person is considered — social, environment, mental well-being. Soft Tissue Therapy meets you exactly where you are.

I also realised how many outdated narratives people are given.
Messages that create fear around movement, or make us believe our bodies are fragile, or that therapists are the only ones who can help. 😱

Our bodies are AMAZING — STRONG, ADAPTABLE, RESILIENT — and you can regain confidence, reduce pain,and move well again!

This journey has led me on to study a Movement Therapy Diploma with Movement Therapy Education, a renowned educator within the industry, teaching evidence based practice.

I'm excited to see what's to come....

2026 is going to be a year of great things 🎉

Forever building on knowledge... 🤯

☀️ Because this industry never stands still! Our understanding evolves, and so should we as therapists.

📚 New evidence helps us grow and gives us a better understanding of how we can help people acheive better outcomes.

So what am I up to? 🤔

⚡️keeping up to date with new evidence behind what we do and the techniques used
⚡️digging deeping into pain, what it is, how it effects clients and how I can help clients manage pain in sports and daily living
⚡️networking and connecting with other clinicians, sharing knowledge.

And this is just the start.....

New things to look forward too in 2026.... 💪🏃‍♂️🧘‍♂️
