Just to make everyone aware - if you are coming from dumfries you can get to lochmaben without any diversion so there is no problem.
The diversion is in place coming from Lockerbie side to Lochmaben so it may take a bit longer to get here.

Someone has left their scarf in the clinic waiting room but I’m not sure who - if you are missing a scarf and have been here in last couple of weeks then it is here

Anyone wanting to understand more about why movement in the body is so crucial, what fascia is, and how it holds us together and gives us our tensile strength; should read this guardian article. It might make you rethink massages, stretching, foam rolling and the sports and training you do.
It might help you understand more about your ‘muscle’ pain and chronic pain and why it never seems to get better.
It also might help you understand more about your body and why and when manual therapy treatments can be beneficial.

Our muscles, bones and organs are held together by a network of tissue that influences our every move. Is there a way we can use it to our advantage?

I’ve managed to keep my prices down for as long as possible through this time of inflation.
Because of this the time has come to need to increase my charges.
All 1hr treatment appointments will increase to £70 when booked from 1st November 2025 onwards.
Phlebotomy appointments will increase to £40 when booked from 1st November 2025 onwards.
