Grit Therapy FASTER recovery, STRONGER comeback!

As an IASTM practitioner (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation) I use precise tools and techniques to break down scar tisue, improve mobility and speed recovery so you can get back to training fast!

Seeing more and more videos lately of physios and practitioners trying to slate others professionals for the treatments they use… and honestly, it’s exhausting. My algorithm is fu**ed!

Not every treatment works for every person. What helps one client might do nothing for another and vice versa.

That’s the reality of working with human beings.

If something works for you and helps you feel better, move better and be in less pain for longer periods of time then, that’s what matters.

The health and fitness industry should be about working together, learning from each other, and helping people get better!

Not fighting each other online for clicks and attention.

There’s no need to constantly bash other professionals just to make yourself look better. Spend less time criticising others and more time helping people.

Concentrate on yourself, your clients, and your own lane.

The world’s a happier place that way.

Muscle scraping comments I hear regularly…. And do you know, quite frankly, I don’t mind them!

* “You’re literally paying someone to bruise you.”

* “That’s pseudoscience with a metal spoon.”

* “Congrats, you paid £75 for medieval torture.”

* “It’s just placebo for gym bros.”

* “If scraping worked, doctors would prescribe it.”

* “They say it ‘breaks up scar tissue’ but that’s biologically nonsense.”

* “Massage with extra marketing.”

* “Another TikTok wellness scam.”

* “The practitioner just keeps scraping until you think it must be working.”

* “Red marks don’t equal recovery.”

😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

And a lot of the time, the keyboard warriors who make these comments are those who have never looked into it and researched it.

I’ve been in the health and fitness game for 23 years now. I wouldn’t qualify myself in something I didn’t think would work.

My massage is fab! I’ve helped and sorted a lot of people.

Muscle scraping is just another level to this and I’m proud to fu***ng say, I’ve sorted people out!

My goal isn’t to fix people!

It’s to get them pain free and moving again in a way they have not been able to during their injured time!

But keep the comments coming…. It’s only going to boost my algorithm!

So have you ever wondered what “muscle scraping” actually looks like? 👀

I recently treated my client Mark Wayne who you all know is just one outgoing, energetic and hilarious guy, who had been struggling with tight calves and Achilles discomfort from running. Like a lot of people, he wasn’t sure what to expect at first—but after giving it a go, the results spoke for themselves.

Muscle scraping (also known as instrument-assisted soft tissue work) might look intense, but it’s a highly effective way to:
✔️ Release tight, overworked muscles
✔️ Improve blood flow and recovery
✔️ Support tendon health—especially around the Achilles
✔️ Help you move more freely and comfortably

In this video, you’ll see part of Mark’s treatment. It’s not about causing pain.

It’s about creating change in the tissue so your body can function better.

If you’re a runner or someone who deals with constant calf tightness or Achilles issues, this could make a real difference for you.

Got questions about it or wondering if it’s right for you? Drop me a message

Happy sunny weekend everyone!
