Had a friend over today for a massage and she brought her beautiful twin daughters ( pre arranged tea and catch up morning with massage as a bonus ) they were beautifully behaved and Mummy got some self care which she very much needed as I found adhesions ( knots) from her calves to her shoulders and I got to cuddle babies and then hand them back 🤣🤣
Second client was a referral from a masseuse friend who is full time and fully booked ( I am part time) he came in for a maintenance massage with two large tight areas in the lower traps upper lats , client has had previous back issues and an operation on the discs and does keep up with his maintenance massages which is music to a sports masseuse ears as the muscles are very responsive to treatment , on investigation we also found tight hamstrings so client went away happy and rebooked for July 😊

What a beautiful May half‑term week it’s been — busy, varied, and full of clients making real progress.Bank Holiday Monday started with a client struggling with shoulder and back issues. We worked methodically through the hamstrings, lower back and into the shoulders, and the improvement by the end of the session was brilliant to see. Even better, his wife is now looking to book in for some foot concerns.
Wednesday brought two very different cases.
In the morning, I treated a client with multiple sclerosis — a fascinating session from a muscular perspective. This client is truly inspiring, having spent a full year in rehabilitation after a full‑body episode. I was delighted to receive a message today saying he feels amazing. In the afternoon, I saw my regular young female boxer (with mum present as chaperone). She came in with a pulled groin, likely from her intense running schedule. Instead of just massage, we combined stretching, targeted work through the groin, and released the hamstrings and glutes to reduce pressure on the area. She’s already reported feeling much better. A sunny week full of challenges, progress, and reminders of why I’m privileged to do this job — helping people move, feel, and live better.If you’d like to book in, just get in touch.❤️

Lets talk size, everyone is different and this creates a range of issues from small muscle structures to large, from stiff joints to hypermobility, and I really enjoy the challenges of each and every one of my clients ❤️ Yesterday I had one of my larger, more muscular clients who has a very physical job, which coupled with working out in the gym and riding a motorbike causes very tight, raised trapezius muscles, with tension through the lower lumbar and tightening through the shoulders. On picture one you can clearly see the raised muscle area either side of the spine. Picture 2 is after a good hour and me getting a workout, lol. In picture 2 you see a more even back area and a happier client, to give you a clear idea of muscle size the client is 6' 5"
Successful session and a happy client x

I haven't updated for a while so this week and last i had alot of regulars and I cannot stress enough how beneficial monthly sports massages are because different things can crop up. I have had two clients that have been suffering with headaches one in particular who has ménières ( an inner ear disorder that affects balance) and although I cannot cure a migraine or ménières i can relieve and release muscles in the same way I do in the rest of the body often relieving symptoms and giving clients a much needed respite and if we check out the muscles of the face you can see there is much to work with ❤️ remember drink water and stretch ❤️

Had a fabulous massage from Joanna Martin at Divine Therapies I cant stress enough that a good Massage is an essential component of body maintenance because it acts as a preventative 'tune-up'. It actively manages daily wear and tear, restores soft tissue mobility, flushes out metabolic waste, and downregulates the nervous system—preventing chronic stiffness from sn*******ng into injury or pain. Absolutely love Jo as she incorporates all her fantastic knowledge so as well as being well and truly ironed out with a sports massage I also got treated to hot stones , aromatherapy, crystals and a balance of my chakra ❤️❤️ your turn next Jo!

Tuesday I headed over to Eastwood ABC to treat a Deltoid strain, no loss of function but pain also Callum coaches and trains so had usual upper back pain. I went from lower back through both shoulders and cupping and finished with lymphatic drainage. Found lots of painful areas to treat and client came away feeling much freer and with reduced pain have reccomended using paddles for pad work instead of the traditional pads to reduce impact issues from those hard hitting seniors lol 🥊🥊🥊

So what does a sports therapist do when she needs a massage? take turns with her sports therapist friend of course! Today it was my turn to massage the lovely Jo at Divine Therapies https://www.facebook.com/share/1FyCSytAJn/
She has just been on her daughter's birthday trip to Rome so all that walking and sightseeing took a toll on the calves and hamstrings. I got to go to her treatment room that I love because she has beautiful charged crystals and a calming room ( even though we nattered the whole time lol) my turn next and I cant wait! Lol x
