Back doing what I do 🙌🏼

Lovely difference to be seen here on my regular client, one side worked relieving that muscle tension and built up stress 🪢

First day back 🥰

Injury recovery and how swimming can help 💧🌊

One thing I utilised during my holiday was water therapy to aid the rehabilitation of my wrist injury 🤚🏼

Swimming or even just mobilising in water is an effective form of recovery as the buoyancy of the water reduces the effects of gravity, therefore reducing demand on the effected area..

As it is low-impact or non-weight baring, it allows individuals to exercise without putting excessive stress on our joints / muscles 💪🏼

Creating an overall supportive environment for healing and allowing individuals to complete physical activity without exacerbating their condition ❤️‍🩹

Hi everyone!

I am now back from my holiday and on a steady recovery to get my wrist back to its baseline. It’s hard to say a time frame at the moment as I am still restricted in my movement and strength, but I have a physio appointment next week where I should know more..

Apologies as this is not much of an update but I have to ensure I’m as right as I can be before coming back, to which will be a steady comeback..

I can’t thank you all enough for your understanding and patience, I will update you all next week when I hopefully know more.

Thank you, Beth 🖤

Missing this and seeing my lovely regulars 🥹

The road seems long but we will be back stronger than ever and I can’t wait 🛣️🙌🏼

Cannot thank you all enough for your kind words, support and patience 🤍

Happy Bank Holiday weekend all 🥂🖤🌿

Massage myths 🤫

“No pain, no gain” 🙅🏼‍♀️

💬 Actually, it doesn’t have to hurt to work.. massage pressure is adaptable to each individuals needs/tolerance and an effective treatment is still delivered 🤲🏼

“You have to be sporty to have a sports massage” 🤸🏼‍♂️

💬 Massage is a proven remedy for muscle soreness and injury prevention, therefore suitable to all lifestyles 💆🏼‍♀️

A sunny evening spent massaging 🫶🏼☀️

Swipe to see during/before 🪄

Here we can see a visible difference in muscle tension/definition, showing the immediate benefits of massage ✨

Massage promotes the body to a relaxed state, so here are my best tips to gain the most from your treatment:

🤲🏼 Drink plenty of water
🤲🏼 Take time to rest and relax after your treatment
🤲🏼 Avoid exercise or heavy physical activity for approximately 24h
🤲🏼 Avoid alcohol or caffeine
🤲🏼 Small, gentle stretching
🤲🏼 Take a warm bath to soothe any sore muscles

Muscles get stretched and become longer, and joints become de-compressed. Therefore, muscle imbalances begin to correct, and posture realigned..

Drinking water helps to cleanse and detoxify your body from the inside out, flushing away any metabolic waste💧

All of the above will contribute to prolonged benefits of a massage treatment 💆🏼‍♀️

✨ Client review ✨

Have a great week all 🖤

Swipe to rewind one whole year..⏱️

April 2023 vs. April 2024 results, before massage!! 🙌🏼

As you can see, there is a significant change in posture, muscular balance and symmetry. The shoulders are more equal in a resting state ⚖️

For long lasting results it is important to have regular sessions, consistency is key 🔑

Benefits of regular massage:

💤Improved sleep quality
💪🏼Eases muscle pain
✅Boosts immune function
🧬Speeds healing of soft tissue injuries
🩸Promotes circulation
🧠Improves mental alertness
😖Reduces muscle tension
♻️Stimulates lymphatic drainage
❗️Relieves stress
🦵🏼Improved joint mobility

The final picture shows my client after their monthly 45 minute Full Back session 🤲🏼🖤

Range of movement tests 🤸🏼‍♀️

During consultations or presenting with new problems, I may ask you to complete range of movement tests to determine the severity and location of the described problem ❌

This is a great way to showcase the impact a massage can have in terms of improving range of motion and reducing tense muscles/stiffness in joints 💪🏼

My client came to me with issues in her left shoulder, noticing this in her daily life activities and during exercise 🏃🏼‍♀️

During the test, my client is leaning forwards in the first picture showing struggle, and was in pain attempting this movement..

After the treatment we can see an improvement in the mobility of the left shoulder, reduced tension and ease to complete the movement, shown in the pictures below ✨

(1, Reduced L shoulder ROM. 2, Improved L shoulder ROM. 3/4 Right shoulder normal ROM)

If you are unsure if a massage is right for you, send me a message with your concerns or questions and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can 🥰

We love the lighter evenings 🧡✨

Massage is often overlooked as a luxury, or in particular sports massage, is often seen as only for sporty people..this is not the case! Our bodies endure the wear and tear of every day life, and a massage can be the perfect way to relax and recharge 💆🏼‍♀️

If you are unsure if massage is right for you, drop me a message and we can discuss your needs and preferences 💬

One from the weekend 🙌🏼

A perfect example of why I wanted the word ‘balance’ in my rebrand ✨

Something I often post is before, during and after pictures in order to display the treatments I offer, and show just how much a massage can make a difference 🌿

Most, if not everyone, holds tension in their shoulders, upper back and neck area..and massage is an efficient way to relieve this 💆🏼‍♀️

As you can see in the first picture, my client Nathan has had one side worked on (his right shoulder) and after treatment is visibly reduced in tension, inflammation and muscle imbalance 🪢

In the second picture we can see the angle which shows the reduction of inflammation in the muscles (one side is lower than the other) 🩸

Nathan’s career involves long hours office based, accompanied by regular sport and exercise outside of work (gym & football).

Good habits to work alongside massage to reduce the chances of injury/infirmity occurring would be:

💧Hydration
🔥Thorough warm up before exercise/activity
🤸🏼‍♀️Stretching
❄️Cool down after exercise/activity

Always remember, sports massage isn’t just for those who play sport! It is a massage tailored to your needs as an individual 💆🏼‍♀️

Springing into the week 🌷🌿🌼🪻
