I used to think that there was nothing that could equal the satisfying feeling of watching the wind blowing my washing dry on a sunny morning but I have found something else too.... My job!
I love it. It's great being a sports massage therapist, I never get bad or stressful days. My clients are always happy and excited to see me each day, my work varies from hour to hour, I could be fixing feet with fallen arches, I could be stretching hamstrings and quads, I could be fixing a shoulder impingement, or maybe somebody just needs a deep tissue massage or a cupping session. And then after a great day at work........ I get to watch my clean laundry blow in the wind 😁

Dance your way into the weekend

After a long working week and constant school runs, why not start your weekend off with a little bit of self care, time to relax, de stress, unwind, ready to begin again, a fresher, more relaxed version of yourself.

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE

Cupping Therapy Vs Deep Tissue Massage

Key Differences
Technique: Cupping involves lifting (suction) fascia and tissue, while deep tissue massage involves pressing down (manual pressure) on tissues.

Best For:
Cupping is ideal for chronic tightness, limited range of motion, and boosting circulation to specific, localised areas.
Deep tissue is better for specific trigger points, knots, and overall muscle soreness.

Side Effects:
Cupping often leaves circular, painless marks that last a few days.
Deep tissue usually causes no marks but may cause temporary soreness.

Targeted Area:
Cupping tends to work on specific areas.
Deep tissue can be used for larger, more general areas of the body.

When to Choose Which
Choose Cupping: If you have severe, chronic muscle stiffness, need to improve local blood flow, and don't mind temporary marks.

Choose Deep Tissue: If you prefer direct, hands-on pressure, need to break down muscle knots, or want a combination of relaxation and pain relief.

Many athletes combine both methods during a single session, with practitioners often using cups to loosen the superficial layers of muscle before using deep tissue techniques to release deeper, more targeted knots.

Being a massage therapist is 10% skill, 90% answering absolutely unhinged questions 🤦‍♀️
“Ohhh… do you do extras?”
— Yeah, Karen, extra stretches for your tight hamstrings 🙃
“Do you ever get… you know… turned on?”
— Sir, I’m trying to locate your trapezius, not your personality.
“Must be so relaxing doing massages all day!”
— My hands: 💀
My back: 💀
My soul after 6 clients: gently exiting my body
“Can you just quickly fix my back?”
— Of course, let me undo 10 years of bad posture in the time it takes to microwave a lasagne.
“Isn’t it awkward touching strangers?”
— Not as awkward as this conversation.
“You must be really strong!”
— It’s called technique, not WWE.
Also shoutout to: • People who think it’s not a “real job”
• People who want mates rates
• People who text at 10pm like “u free tomorrow??”
Meanwhile we’re out here: ✔️ fixing knots
✔️ easing pain
✔️ saving your desk-job spine
✔️ and maintaining professional boundaries like our lives depend on it (because they do)
Respect your massage therapist… we know where all your tight spots are 😌
