Purpose Neuromuscular Massage Therapy

What was learnt/did I take away from the advanced dry needling course over the weekend?

- scar tissue needling
This is going to be so helpful for some clients who are struggling with lingering pain, stiffness or lack of movement in their scars. From joint replacement to c-section, dry needling for scars is safe and very effective.
(I even got my own bunion scar done from 17 years ago)

- fascial needling
I have already used this technique in clinic!
This can be used around the neck/where the thoracic spine begins and around the sacrum. Fascia is the spiderweb of the body and the techniques used helps to unwind fascia to provide easier movement and less pain and stiffness.

- ligament needling.
This is exactly how it sounds - Dry needling ligaments.
This requires a few specific questions around clinical reasoning as to WHY this would need to be treated.

- deep spinal muscles
Similar to the needling that has been happening in clinic already. Just on a new area of the body.

Any questions or concerns feel free to ask during your next appointment.

It's happening!
I've been wanting to do a retreat with for ages and as things would turn out the 2026 country is one that's been on the bucket list for the last few years!

Woohoooo 2026 is Japan!
I will be off from the 21st until the 31st of May partaking in about 8 workshops and learning from some of the industries best!

Don't worry this won't be another month's holiday like last year but I am so looking forward to this trip!

I'm saving up again so I can afford to try all the ramen (one of my "never get tired of" comfort foods) and diving head first into my first few days in Tokyo then heading to Osaka for this retreat!

(As my sailing trip that was planned for November has been canceled I reeeeeaally needed something to look forward to 😂🙌🏻)

The year is flying by and I'm sure we are all looking forward to the warmer weather, filled with longer evenings and beach filled weekends!

A post to let you all know....
Maisie's day care day usually almost always falls on a Thursday.
I have to pick her up by 6pm, if you are booked in at 5/5.30 on Thursdays I will be picking her up before your appointment.
She is always exhaauuuusted afterwards so she'll be a sleepy girl during your session.
.. This also may double as an appreciation post
😍😍

Sometimes I just need to have some quiet time, especially in this muggyness!
Miss Maisie Mae lets me know that she's never too far away.

(Yes she can jump up on the table now but it's very rare she does this to people that aren't me. If she has done this with you, *you know who you are* you're offically considered honorary aunty/uncle material) 🥰🥹
