Soft tissue therapy involves the assessment and treatment of any soft tissue which includes ligaments, tendons, muscles and fascia.

This treatment promotes recovery from soft tissue injuries but also has a remarkable effect on posture, energy and sleep.

Fine tune your desk setup…

The way your workstation is set up has a huge impact on your posture. Aim for a layout that supports natural alignment. This means your monitor height and your screen should be at eye level and about an arm’s length away. You shouldn’t have to tilt your head forward or look down. Use a chair with good lumbar support and allow your lower back to maintain its natural curve. Keep your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest and avoid crossing your legs. Keep your keyboard and mouse close, so your elbows remain at a 90-degree angle, and your wrists stay straight.

Strengthen Posture Muscles...

Strong muscles support good posture. Incorporate posture-friendly exercises into your routine. A few minutes daily can correct muscle imbalances caused by hours of sitting:
- Chin tucks (to align the head and neck)
- Wall angels (to open up the chest and improve shoulder mobility)
- Planks and bird-dogs (to strengthen the core)

Stretch Often…

Tight muscles contribute to bad posture. Prioritise stretches that release tension in. These areas often become tight from hunching forward or sitting too long:
- Neck and shoulders (neck rolls or shoulder shrugs)
- Hip flexors (lunges or standing hip stretches)
- Chest muscles (doorway stretch)

Be mindful of your posture, as posture is often habitual. Set gentle reminders to sit tall with your shoulders relaxed and back. Avoid craning your neck toward the screen, keep your ears aligned with your shoulders and engage your core gently. Sticky notes on your computer, posture apps, or wearable fitness trackers can help keep you aware and moving throughout the day.

The Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Massage

This gentle, rhythmic massage technique focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system, a crucial part of the body’s immune function. What exactly does lymphatic drainage massage do, and why is it gaining popularity?

1. Reduces Swelling and Water Retention
One of the primary benefits of lymphatic drainage massage is its ability to reduce puffiness and swelling. Whether due to surgery, injury, or lifestyle factors, fluid build up can be uncomfortable. This massage encourages the movement of lymph fluids, helping your body naturally eliminate excess water and waste.

2. Boosts Immune Function
By supporting the flow of lymph, which is a fluid that carries white blood cells, the massage enhances immune response. A well-functioning lymphatic system means your body is better equipped to fight off infections and toxins.

3. Promotes Relaxation and Stress Relief
The light, rhythmic strokes used in this technique have a calming effect on the nervous system. Many people find it deeply relaxing, making it a great option for managing stress and anxiety.

4. Enhances Skin Health
Improved lymphatic flow means better circulation and detoxification, which can lead to clearer, healthier skin. It helps to reduce puffiness and improve tone.

5. Speeds Recovery After Surgery
Post-operative swelling and discomfort are common, and lymphatic drainage massage is often recommended to support the healing process. It can help reduce inflammation and improve tissue regeneration.

Whether you're recovering from surgery, dealing with chronic inflammation, or just looking for a natural way to feel better, lymphatic drainage massage offers a gentle yet powerful path to wellness. As always, if you have any question feel free to grab a member of the team.

Sports massage offers benefits both before and after sporting, fitness or athletic events. Pre-event massage focuses on preparing the body for physical exertion by increasing circulation, flexibility, and range of motion, while reducing muscle tension. Post-event massage aids recovery by reducing muscle soreness, promoting relaxation, and helping to remove metabolic waste products like lactic acid.
