Over the moon to have completed my Pregnancy Massage Diploma ⬇️😊
I am now fully qualified to offer pregnancy massage treatments here 💆‍♀️🤰and I can’t wait to be able to help the mums to be in and around Durham feel more comfortable, relaxed and refreshed during their pregnancies! 💫

Complementing hands on massage treatment with RockPods to provide maximum pain relief and promote faster recovery for this morning’s client.
RockPods create a suction with the skin which creates a decompressive effect on the tissues beneath and around the pods. This can:
☑️ loosen and lift connective tissue.
☑️ increase blood and lymphatic flow to the tissues.
➡️ this combination can help stimulate the body’s natural healing process to treat chronic and acute pain and relieve tension👌🏻

Open weekends and evenings here so there’s no excuse not to find the time to make looking after your body a top priority🔝💆‍♀️ 👐🏻 💆‍♂️ It’s the only one you’ve got, so invest in helping it to function optimally for you and your lifestyle 🧘‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ 🚴‍♂️ 🏊🏻‍♀️ ⚽️ ⛳️ 🧑‍💻🚶‍♀️
Bookings can be made on line (🔗 in bio) or call on 07787620714 📲

How often should I get a massage? 👐🏻
This is a question I get asked a lot! And the answer is that there is no right answer or secret formula 🤷‍♀️
It all depends on the physical demands you put on your body and how your body reacts to these. When I worked for a premiership rugby union team, the players were getting 2 to 4 massages per week during the playing season. Most elite athletes get at least 1 massage per week. Oh to be a professional 💭 😉
But for most of us amateur athletes who still take our sport and training seriously, or for regular gym-goers, once a week to once a fortnight is recommended to see and feel the benefits 🤩
For most people who do regular light exercise then once every 2, 3 or 4 weeks is usually sufficient👌🏻
What about when recovering from an injury? 🤕 In this case, then more frequent sports massage targeting the injured area is recommended until the injury has healed and you have pain-free full range of movement again. This is certainly the case if you are planning to continue your training and/or competing and are unable to give your injury sufficient time to recover.
There are maintenance sports massage packages available here so please get in touch if you’d like more information or to book in 📧 📲

👇🏻Tried to use of my time off ‘clinic time’ during the last lockdown constructively (and it made a welcome escape from the homeschooling malarkey 😂) and so I completed the FMT RockPods course. Now I’m excited to use this myofascial manipulation technique on my clients 👐🏻 The pods allow me to grab, pull and push fascia to treat pain, mobility and movement dysfunctions. And it feels therapeutic too 👌🏻

Do non-athletes benefit from Sports Massage? 💭
💯 ABSOLUTELY 💯 Sports massage often involves a firmer touch where the massage movements, stretches and strokes are designed to promote muscle recovery and alleviate pain. Whilst sports massage may have been developed to help athletes prepare their bodies for optimal performance, recover after a big event, and/or function well during training, you don't have to be an athlete to benefit from sports massage‼️
Both athletes and non-athletes can gain a range of physiological, psychological and physical benefits from sports massage here 💫 This is because everyone likes to move better, with less discomfort and with greater ease, feel better mentally, be more relaxed and feel more positive. Whether you are a sedentary office employee, a regular gym goer or an elite athlete competing at the highest of levels, everyone experiences muscular pain and discomfort at some point unfortunately. Choosing a sports massage treatment can be the ideal way to relieve muscle pain, prevent injury and increase mobility.

As I’m sure you are all expecting, there have been some additional policies and procedures implemented here to meet all Government guidelines in relation to reducing the risk, and spread of COVID-19 during close contact services like sports massage. I will be doing my utmost to keep you all as safe as possible during the pandemic.
A detailed overview of the new procedures can be viewed on the website. To view please visit the website. But key points to be aware of👇🏻
✔️The use of PPE. I will be wearing a mask, visor and disposable apron during treatments.
✔️Clients are required to wear a mask throughout their appointments (unless medically exempt), including upon arrival and departure. Masks will be available should you forget for a small surcharge.
✔️Additional cleaning protocols are in place. Despite cleanliness always being paramount prior to this, further measures are being implemented in the clinic now and several hand sanitizers are easily accessible throughout the premises.
✔️Clients will be contacted the day prior to their appointment and I will ask some COVID-19 symptom screening questions to check you are symptom free. I will also confirm that I am symptom free too.
✔️Contactless temperature check on arrival at the clinic.
✔️Clients are asked to come to the appointment alone where possible.
This may seem like a lot, but I will ensure minimum disruption to your appointment (other than the visual differences 😷) as all appointments will be scheduled to allow the thorough and extensive cleaning to take place between every client. As such, I am fully confident that you will enjoy a very similar experience that you’ve been used to pre-pandemic 🙏🏻 Get yourself booked in 😉 👐🏻

It’s been a while, but I want to say a big hello 👋 check in with all of my lovely clients and update you with what’s been going on here at since all things COVID-19 interrupted normal life and sports massage services.
As well as a whole lot of homeschooling 👩‍🏫 training at home and Netflix, I was unfortunately involved in a pretty serious accident at the end of May. I was knocked over by a motorbike during a long training run and suffered several major trauma injuries 🤕 So I have been in full on recovery mode since, with a couple of weeks spent in the RVI in Newcastle and then continued my recovery journey at home.
I am now feeling so much better 🙏🏻 and I am absolutely ready to REOPEN THE CLINIC here and resume hands on sports massage appointments 👐🏻 with stringent Covid-19 policies and procedures in place of course 😷 🧼 More info on those to follow 📝
I’ve missed you all and I am very much looking forward to getting back to giving you all some post lockdown TLC 💆‍♀️ 👐🏻 💆‍♂️
