*Eeek Exmoor Massage hoodie*

I don’t know why I am so excited about a hoodie but perhaps because it’s Chinese New Year and roughly about 2 years since I opened up Exmoor Massage, it all feels like a bit of a moment to reflect on how lucky I am and how much joy and learning this work gives me.

Wishing you all the best of luck this Fire Horse year!

Oops I did it again …

Even sports massage therapists are guilty of not doing their exercises.

After a good year of no pain and what felt like good strength, I went for a swim and boom, the pain returned!

Except it’s not that simple, I had been strength training but couldn’t quite ā€œfind the timeā€ to prep, prime or activate those important stabiliser muscles (sound familiar?), add a few weeks off from swimming over Christmas and adding more weight to my lifting and well, it’s hardly surprising is it.

While niggles are annoying, they are also an important message from the body that something isn’t quite right. Don’t ignore it, go see a practitioner, get a treatment plan and get rehabbing as soon as is safe to do so.

Every setback is just another lesson to learn!

Time is flying! And I’m going on holiday soon, so if you’re thinking of booking in, you might want to book ahead to avoid missing out.

Other exciting news, is I start my Level 5 course in April!

Toe/foot exercises and games

Have you tried any of these? See my previous post for info about how foot strength is really important to lower body biomechanics.

*Trigger warning: FEET!*

I have done something silly and signed up to an epic running challenge 🫣 which means I can’t really ignore my weak feet anymore!

Weak feet can lead to twisted ankles, or stiff toes which can affect your gait or it can affect your muscles into the lower leg and potentially the knee and hip.

There is a kinematic chain from the pelvis (hip) to the knee to the ankle and foot. Guess what if you have any weakness anywhere along that chain, it can cause havoc and not necessarily where you would expect. Ever suffered from knee pain?

Sometimes, knee pain can actually be due to a lack of strength somewhere in the chain (often feet or pelvic stabilisers such as glutes or hip flexors). Of course knee pain can have many causes so always get yourself seen by a health practitioner.

So I’m going to use my wonky toes and weak feet to demonstrate some of the fun exercises you can try with your own feet to get them strong!

Jaw pain, TMJ issues, headaches and tension?

Have you tried intraoral massage?

There are lots of different techniques but here I’ve demonstrated the most simple approach to try at home.

I do this in my clinic but equally it’s good to try at home if you feel stressed or a headache coming on.

Give it a go and see what you think
