⭐️Client Shoutout Saturday ⭐️

Meet Gemma, has been coming to me for treatment consistently every few weeks for the past 18 months. One of Elev8’s OG’s(!) and she is honestly an absolute dream to have in the treatment studio.

What impresses me most (aside from us both being Swifties, 4 days apart in age and a mutual love for binging on Netflix’s Selling Sunset) is how invested and dedicated Gem is in her health and fitness💪

Despite having a demanding full time job and being a busy mum, Gem carves out time in her busy week to prioritise her fitness which includes a mix of strength sessions programmed by her brilliant pt, running and reformer pilates. A perfect mix of strength, conditioning and mobility. She’s also currently training for her 5th and 6th Hyrox 🏅 so a pretty all round badass!! 😎

Gem comes for regular maintenance soft tissue therapy to keep her body in optimal condition given her level of activity. Injury prevention is a high priority and because of the frequency of her visits, it means we are able to detect, treat and head off any niggles or issues early. Thankfully we’ve managed to keep her injury free 🙏

Good nutrition, sleep, recovery and hydration are also essential foundations to being able to maintain this level of fitness.

Thanks to Gem for choosing to invest in, and appreciating the benefit of regular soft tissue therapy ❤️ and allowing me to play a small part in enabling you to continue doing what you love.

These notes honestly mean so much ☺️ It’s the most rewarding feeling to help people out of pain and discomfort so they can go back to all the activities they enjoy 🙏

Top 10 Reasons to book in for Soft Tissue Therapy!

Chronic tightness or tension in your muscles? Soft tissue therapy can help release built-up tension, leaving your body lighter and more relaxed.

🤕 2. Injury Recovery
Healing from an injury? Soft tissue therapy can help speed up recovery by promoting better blood flow and reducing inflammation in the affected areas.

🧘 3. Improved Mobility
Struggling with stiff joints or limited mobility? Soft tissue therapy can free up muscles and improve range of motion, making it easier to move and stay active.

⚡ 4. Alleviate Pain
If you suffer from back pain, neck pain, or any musculoskeletal pain, a soft tissue therapist can target those problem areas, offering effective pain relief without medications.

💼 5. Reduce Work-Related Postural Stress
Sitting at a desk all day or working on your feet can lead to aches and pains. Soft tissue therapy helps counteract these stressors, so you can feel your best.

🚶‍♀️ 9. Support Chronic Conditions
Conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, or migraines can be debilitating. Soft tissue therapy can help pain management and discomfort, improving your quality of life.

Wishing my client the best of luck as he takes on the epic Thames Path 100k Ultra this weekend 🏃‍♂️🤯 In for some pre-race treatment tonight ahead of the big day! Tim is raising much needed funds for 🐶 so please do consider sponsoring him if you can (link in stories). Always so awe inspiring seeing clients take on challenges like this and it never fails to amaze me what our bodies are capable of achieving 💪 Go smash it Tim!!

Not sure I could received a better email on a Monday! 🤩 A new client with an Achilles and calf injury making massive progress after his first treatment 🙌

This week I met a lovely new client who has been living with chronic shoulder pain for 8 months before deciding to seek help with treatment 😳. Their normality had become not being able to lift their right arm above their head, difficulty putting on clothes over head, using the left arm to move the right due to loss of mobility and stiffness on waking. They are 40 years old, otherwise healthy, working a full time job with two young children. Lets start treating our bodies with the same TLC as we would our cars ❤️ 🙏

🍂 Happy 1st of September! 🍂

👋 Hope you’ve had a wonderful summer. The beginning of Autumn is always a busy one. The new school term, getting back into your routines - work, setting new health and fitness goals.

There are lots of Autumn events happening too. Great North Run, Oxford half marathon, Hyrox, Ultra marathons 🏃🏻 🏋️‍♂️ I’m looking forward to supporting my clients taking part in many of these with their prehab and recovery.

However, you don’t need to be super sporty and athletic to book an appointment! If you work in a job that puts strain on your body (that includes you too desk based workers 💻 !) or your body just needs a bit of TLC after running around after the kids all summer - give me a shout!

Mental Health Awareness Week 2024

It’s mental health awareness week and the focus for this year’s mental health awareness week is

How do you like to move your body to support your mental health?

For me it’s either yoga 🧘‍♀️ for the calm of
mind it brings or on the opposite scale, strength training 🏋️‍♂️ which always makes me feel quite badass when I need a confidence boost! 😃

When it comes to your treatments, please know that I will always hold a safe space and a non judgmental listening ear.

RUNNERS 🏃‍♀️ 🏃🏻

Did you know strength training can help your running efficiency and protect you from running related injuries. I’ve had many conversations with my running clients on the benefits of incorporating strength training and this infographic from The Prehab Guys sets it out perfectly!

PSA FOR ALL RUNNERS🗣️

🏃Why is strength training important for runners? Running is an impact sport! Due to the fact that the most common running injuries can be associated with lower extremity strength deficits, it is extremely important to educate runners on WHY AND HOW they should perform strength training. A big takeaway from this infographic is that resistance training can help with running economy and efficiency by decreasing energy expenditure. Understanding this concept will help with understanding this graphic better!

🗣A major shout to and the Twitter accounts for putting together awesome infographics that inspired this post!

‼️FACTS! Running can impose up to 8x your body weight in force on specific structures in the body. Because of this, running injuries are not uncommon, actually up to 50% of runners at some point in their life will experience an injury because of running. From research and our experience, we believe 80-90% of these injuries are due to training errors, with one of those errors being a lack of quality strength training! Every single runner out there can benefit from this infographic, be sure to share it!
