So here goes.....

We would like to introduce to the world:

Eira Beatrice-Mae Robins

Born at 11:12am. 24/05/2023
8lb 12Oz

We couldn't be happier or more proud of our beautiful baby daughter and how she has already brightened up our lives.
Both baby and mum are doing very well after an incredibly long and intense labour.

Words can barely do justice to how amazing is, i am in total awe of the strength and determination she showed, not to mention her patience and love throughout.
She will be the best mum to our baby, and Eira will be the luckiest daughter to have her.

Signing off
One very lucky, elated, and emotional Dad

Muscle Recovery.

A lot of people ask me about the best way to begin recovery, immediately after a muscular injury.

Of course, this is dependant on the grade of strain, but, in my opinion, these are the first, and best steps to get you on the right track to full fitness

Common sports injuries pt 2

Ankle sprains

These injuries are not athlete specific, they can occur in regular day to day life due to uneven ground, unsuitable footwear or simple misplacement of the foot.

Overloading the ankle either by rolling it inwards (inversion) or outwards (eversion) can create different variants in terms of severity of ligament tear, from partial, to full rupture.

Common Muscle Injuries Pt.1

The Hamstrings.

As someone who has experienced my fair share of hamstring strains/tears, I thought where better to start?

Semimembranosus
Semitendinosus
Biceps Femoris

The 3 muscles that combine to make the Hamstrings.

Injuries to these muscles often occur during sudden movements, such as sprinting, lunging or jumping, but repetitive activity can also cause deep muscular adhesions (knots).

Depending on the severity of strain or tear, sports massage as part of treatment can: Help to flush away tissue fluids and swelling, Soften and re-allign scar tissue that has formed, relax tight muscles which have gone into spasm and, improve blood circulation to aid in the healing process.

What is sports massage and how can it help me?

Quite simply Sports massage is a form of treatment involving the manipulation of soft tissue to benefit a person engaged in regular physical activity.

Treatments are designed to assist in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissue that are caused from repetitive and strenuous physical activity and trauma. The application of sports massage, prior to and after exercise, may enhance performance, aid recovery and prevent injury.

I would like to introduce myself and give a little back story behind my new Sports Massage Business.

My name is Mark and I offer a mobile sports massage service in the Swansea area.
Recently, i obtained my level 3 certification in sports massage therapy and am currently studying to further my qualifications by obtaining the level 4 certificate in the same field.

Originally I studied Sport and Exercise Science at UWIC following on from my love and passion for sport as I grew up.
I am finally going back to my roots after a few years away from all sporting matters, and couldn't be more excited to invest myself into what I love best.
It dawned on me that during the recent Covid-19 pandemic that I was in an occupation that didn't suit my lifestyle and aspirations.
But I am making hole hearted changes to provide a service that is welcoming to all. From top level athletes to recreational participants.

I am easy going and very relaxed, and I would like to dispell the stigma that sports massage is only for the elite and extremely expensive.

Feel free to drop me a message, call or email if you would like to arrange a consultation, a one off session, or even just some advice regarding muscular or functional problems.

I look forward to, hopefully, working with you soon.

Regards
Mark
