Sports Massage - Its Not Just for Sporty People!!

When I say I’m a Sports Massage Therapist, people often assume I only treat runners, gym-goers and athletes.

Nope! 😆

You don’t need to run marathons, lift weights or spend your weekends covered in mud to benefit from a massage!

Maybe you…

💻 Spend hours sitting at a desk.

🚗 Drive for long periods.

😩 Carry tension in your shoulders and neck.

🏡 Have a physically demanding job.

💪 Or simply feel stiff, tight and in need of a little TLC!

Sports massage can help relieve muscle tension, improve movement and leave you feeling a whole lot more comfortable.

And you certainly don’t need to be sporty to book one!

💪 PRACTISE WHAT YOU PREACH… OR AT LEAST TRY TO! 😂

If there’s one thing I’ve learnt over the years, it’s that getting older doesn’t mean slowing down!

At 54, I’m still lifting weights, running, dancing, pushing myself out of my comfort zone and occasionally wondering why on earth I thought another workout was a good idea! 🤣

But here’s the thing…

I’m not training to be 25 again.

I’m training to be strong, fit, healthy and capable for as long as I possibly can. ❤️

🏋️‍♀️ Strength training to build and maintain muscle.
🏃‍♀️ Running because I absolutely love it (most of the time!).
💃 Zumba because life’s far too short not to dance.
💆‍♀️ And sports massage because I know just how important looking after your body can be.

The older I get, the more I appreciate what my body can DO rather than simply how it LOOKS.

And no, I’m not always motivated. Some mornings getting myself through the gym doors is the hardest part of the workout! 😆

But I keep showing up.

Because for me, fitness isn’t about trying to turn back the clock.

It’s about making sure I’ve still got plenty of life left in the batteries! 🔋😂

So whether you’re 30, 40, 50, 60 or beyond…

It’s never too late to start looking after yourself.

Keep moving. Keep challenging yourself. And don’t let your age decide what you’re capable of! ❤️

💪❤️ Holding it all together… well, most of the time! 😂

Sometimes I think we forget just how much we actually juggle in everyday life.

Running a business, massaging clients, teaching fitness classes, being a mum to young adults (who, let’s face it, never stop needing their mum! ❤️), worrying about older parents, being a wife and trying to find time for everyone.

Then there’s looking after myself…

🏋️‍♀️ Training hard and trying to get stronger.

🥗 Watching what I eat, counting calories and attempting to stick to a calorie deficit… whilst dreaming about cake! 😂

🔥 And just for good measure, throw in the menopause! The hormones, the brain fog, the emotions and those days when you don’t even recognise yourself!

Some days I feel like I’ve got everything under control. Other days I’m just winging it and hoping nobody notices! 🤣

But here’s the thing…

I’m learning that being strong isn’t just about what I can lift in the gym.

It’s about showing up when life feels overwhelming. It’s about being there for the people I love, keeping my businesses going, finding time for myself and accepting that I can’t be everything to everyone, all of the time.

And sometimes it’s about knowing when to slow down, take a day off and not feel guilty about it.

I’m incredibly grateful for my family, my work, my health and the fact that I can still do the things I love. ❤️

Life is busy. Life is messy. Life is wonderful. And sometimes life is bloody hard!

So here’s to everyone out there juggling a hundred different things, smiling through the chaos and doing their absolute best.

You don’t have to have it all together every single day.

You’re doing better than you think. ❤️

And if you see me looking like I’ve got my life completely sorted… don’t be fooled. I’m probably just wondering what I’ve forgotten! 😂🙈

💆‍♀️ SPORTS MASSAGE… AND NO, YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE SPORTY! 😆

One of the biggest misconceptions about sports massage is that it’s just for athletes.

Absolutely not!

🏃‍♀️ Running miles every week?
🏋️‍♀️ Lifting weights at the gym?
💻 Sitting at a desk all day?
🚶‍♀️ Spending hours on your feet?
😩 Or simply feeling a little stiff, tight and achy?

Then sports massage could be just what your muscles are asking for!

You don’t need to be training for a marathon, competing in HYROX or lifting heavy weights to benefit from a little muscle TLC.

Sports massage can help ease muscle tension, improve flexibility and leave you feeling more comfortable in your own body.

And trust me… your muscles don’t care whether you’re an athlete or an expert at sitting on the sofa! 😂

Getting “back on track” looks different for everyone ❤️

For some, it’s lifting weights or going for a run. For others, it’s a walk, a dance at Zumba, or finally making a bit of time for themselves.

And sometimes it’s putting your feet up without feeling guilty 😆

You don’t have to do everything. Just find something that works for you.

What has getting back on track looked like for you this week? 👇

💬 Let’s bust a massage myth…

“No pain, no gain.” ❌

Massage doesn’t have to hurt to be effective. More pressure isn’t always better, and you don’t need to grit your teeth to get the most from your session.

Some areas may feel tender, but you should feel comfortable speaking up and asking for the pressure to change. Your comfort matters. 💚

💆‍♀️ ARE YOU OVERDUE A SPORTS MASSAGE?

Sports massage isn’t just for athletes and you definitely don’t need to be injured to benefit from one!

Maybe you’re…

🏋️‍♀️ Training hard and feeling a bit battered
🏃‍♀️ Running and carrying tired, heavy legs
💻 Sitting at a desk all day with tight shoulders
😩 Feeling stiff, achy or just not moving quite as freely as you’d like
💃 Or simply asking a lot from your body every week!

Sports massage can help ease muscular tension, improve mobility and keep your body feeling ready for whatever you throw at it next.

And sometimes… it just feels REALLY good to get those knots worked out! 😆

💭 THINGS YOU PROBABLY DON’T KNOW ABOUT ME…

Seeing as we’re getting reacquainted on here, here are a few random facts about the woman behind Back on Track… 😂

🦷 When I first left school I was a dental nurse… then somehow became a legal secretary. Neither lasted! 😆

💃 I went on to become the first Zumba instructor in the East Midlands and at one point we even had our very own Zumba dog, Poppy! 🐶❤️

🏋️‍♀️ These days weight training is a huge part of my life. Getting stronger as I’ve got older has become more important to me than ever, for my bones, muscles, confidence and for keeping me doing all the ridiculous things I love!

🏃‍♀️ And ridiculous things there have been plenty of… Tough Mudders practically every weekend, running challenges and now HYROX. Apparently normal hobbies aren’t really my thing. 😂

💆‍♀️ In 2018 I set up Back on Track Sports Massage Therapy, bringing together another side of fitness that I absolutely love.

And at 54 I’ve finally accepted one thing…

😂 I genuinely have no idea how to sit still.

So now you know a little more about me…

Your turn — tell me something I probably don’t know about YOU! 👇
