Recovery doesn’t have to be complicated.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury or a tough training session, sometimes it’s the simple things that make the biggest difference.

Getting enough sleep, eating well, keeping moving and managing how much you’re doing all help give your body the right environment to recover.

It’s not always about doing more. Sometimes it’s about giving your body what it needs.

The little things might not be particularly exciting, but consistency beats intensity.

Being hypermobile doesn’t necessarily mean there’s something wrong with your body.

Some people naturally have more movement in their joints and never experience any issues. For others, hypermobility can come with pain, instability and muscle fatigue.

And while stretching might feel good, building strength and control around those joints is often far more important.

It’s not always about having more movement. Sometimes it’s about becoming stronger within the movement you already have.

…And that’s me signing off for a couple of weeks! 🇲🇬✈️

I’m off to Madagascar for a little adventure.

The treatment room will be closed from 9th–26th October, and I’ll be back to normal from the 27th.

Thank you, as always, for keeping me so busy. I’m looking forward to switching off, exploring somewhere new and coming back refreshed!

See you all when I’m back.

Inflammation has become a bit of a buzzword recently, but it’s not the enemy it’s often made out to be.

In fact, inflammation is a completely normal and important part of how our bodies respond to injury, infection and tissue damage.

Without inflammation, we wouldn’t heal properly.

The problem is when inflammation becomes persistent or doesn’t settle as it should.
So rather than trying to get rid of inflammation altogether, focus on supporting your body’s natural recovery processes.

Sleep well. Eat enough. Keep moving. Manage your stress.

Inflammation isn’t always a bad thing. It’s physiology, not magic.

September flew by with a little family trip to Ireland, trying and liking Guinness for the first time, muddy walks with cousins and lots of delicious seafood. Obviously always featuring dogs and some cats this month!

What a fab summer it’s been! 💛☀️🌞

I don’t love telling people I’m a sports massage therapist. People often think, well I’m not sporty so that’s not for me… my treatments are different.

I like to combine the science with the human side of treatment. I listen, I adapt, I get to know you and I tailor each session to what you need that day.

And yes… there will probably be chatting and definitely no plinky plonky music. 😂

“I feel really tight.” 🗣️

Something I hear almost every day.

But feeling tight doesn’t necessarily mean your muscles are physically shortened or that they just need a really good stretch.

Training, fatigue, staying in one position, stress, sleep, pain and your nervous system can all influence how your body feels.

Stretching might help. Massage might help. But sometimes what your body actually needs is movement, strength or simply a bit more recovery.

Tightness is a feeling and there’s often more to it than just the muscle.

A question I get ask all the time.. How often should you have a massage?

There really isn’t a right answer.

For some people it’s every few weeks. For others, it’s every few months or simply when they feel they need it.

Massage can be a great way to support your body, training and recovery, but it shouldn’t be something you feel you have to rely on.

Move🚶🏼‍♀️
Get strong 💪🏼
Recover well 💆🏼‍♀️

And use massage to support the things you love doing. 💛
