So today I was at a workshop at body logic in Ellon learning IASTM - instrument assisted soft tissue Mobilisation, Linda Currie was our tutor, Linda has a BA in sport in the community, She was a wealth of knowledge, having worked in the industry for 20 years and has provided soft tissue therapy for elite sport for over a decade including the Scottish Institute for Sport, the Scottish Football Association and also for Team Scotland at the 2014, 2018 and 2022 Commonwealth Games. It was really good learning from her and trying out all the different tools and techniques that I will be integrating into my treatments at the Zen Den 😁

At 4pm on the 21st of June a friend and customer of mine Gary, will be doing an amazing endurance challenge by running 24 hour laps of Turriff show ground!!! all to raise money for a really good charity Ronald McDonald House Glasgow.

This charity provide free accommodation for families to ensure they can be with their sick children during very difficult times.
This has special meaning to Gary as the charity helped his family out when his nephew become poorly with a Brain tumour and his treatment was right down in Glasgow, Gary will always be grateful for how they helped out.

It's an extremely worthy cause that deserves our support so if you are able to donate that would be awesome! Please see the link below ⬇️

So yesterday I was greeted by a beautiful bouquet of flowers from my lovely customer Kay ☺️💐

Kay came to me around 5/6 weeks ago with severe pain in her Achilles Tendon which was stopping her from running, she had been training for the London Marathon when she had taken the injury, it was clear to me the amount of training had taken its toll and the only way to repair the damage was through rest/rehab and sports massage.
We discussed the realities of the injury and what could happen if she didn’t stop or reduce her training program to allow for proper rest, my advice was for her not to do the marathon due to how bad it was, but knowing that this wasn’t an option for her we went forward with treatments and taping.
Kay was strict with her strength training and rehab and followed my advice and after about her 3rd treatment she started to notice vast improvement and started to increase her training, we taped her up for the Marathon and off she went to London.
I was so apprehensive and wondered how she did, had she dropped out? Had she managed to complete it?
Complete it? She absolutely smashed it! She got a mind blowing time of 3hrs 37 mins!!! What an achievement!!! Well done Kay 👏🏼🥇🥳

Thank you for listening to your body and and working hard on the rehab.
Love my job 🥰
