Tromsø Midnight Sun Marathon ✅
3:36:09 - PB 🏅

A lovely trip and a great result - helped by the beautiful surroundings, Nordic air and sunshine. A very surreal experience finishing just after midnight in full daylight.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported and sponsored me. You’ve helped me exceed my fundraising target for the You can still donate via the link in my bio. Much love!

Exactly 2 weeks from today I’ll be running the Midnight Sun Marathon in Tromso, Norway 🇳🇴.The northernmost marathon in the world!

I’ve completed potentially my last long run before the big day, and dare I say it, I’m feeling ok 😬. Please pray for some midnight sun ☀️ for me, as currently it’s looking like it’s going to be midnight rain, rain, rain!

I’m running in loving memory of my cousin, and raising funds for the fantastic Wiltshire Air Ambulance. So if you would like to sponsor me and help me get towards my target, it would be very much appreciated ☺️

Since reopening on the 12th April my diary has been pretty jam packed and I am very thankful for all of my clients, regular and new, who have continued to support me and the business over the last year or so and have been patient with all of the changes throughout this time.

Most of you haven’t seen my full face for a while and I realised that some of my newer clients may have never seen it - so hello and once again THANK YOU 👋🏻☺️

As there have been some changes in the government restrictions, I thought now would be a good time to provide some business updates:

🌟 As a therapist I have a professional duty of care to treat my clients safely, effectively and professionally, so I will be continuing to wear my face mask and as always the room will be thoroughly cleaned and aired between treatments.

🌟 Wearing of face masks for clients will be voluntary.

I have also been able to free up some more time for additional appointment slots (more details coming soon) so hopefully I will be able to see more of you in my treatment room and you will be seeing more of me on here!

If you have any questions on the above or would like more information on the treatments provided/my availability, please don’t hesitate to get in touch📱

Feeling positive and hopeful that I will be seeing some much missed, familiar faces (and news ones) from the 12th April 🗓 🥳

Please let me know if you would like to be added to the waiting list - if you had an appointment cancelled or have been in touch with me recently you’re name is ready and waiting!

Do you frequently feel stiff and achey in your lower back and hips? Your buttocks might be the culprit!

What do my glutes have to do with back pain?
- The upper fibres of the Gluteus Maximus connect onto thick connective tissue (fascia) of the lower back.
- The Gluteal muscles play a key role in supporting the pelvis, stabilising and moving the hip joint in the following movements…extension, internal & external rotation.
- The Piriformis is a small, deep muscle in the buttocks which, if holding a lot of tension, can cause compression of the sciatic nerve.

And it’s no wonder we experience tension in our glutes, if we aren’t sitting on them we are using them to walk, run, cycle, squat…the lot!

Try some of these stretches and mobility exercises to release tension in the glutes, mobilise the hips and relieve back pain…
