This is a fairly accurate image of the recovery process.

Important things to remember:

🔹don’t get disheartened - keep going with the rehab plan and you will make progress.
🔹recovery is completely individual, you’re not going to recover the same way that Joe Bloggs recovered.
🔹there will always be things that hold you up or delay your progress - that’s just normal life and it’s ok!
🔹remind yourself of where you began and remember what your goal is - sometimes progress in recovery doesn’t seem like progress. Even small improvements still count!
🔹if you need help, ask for it! Whether it’s to help rest or for help with active recovery.
🔹it doesn’t have to be complicated - if you need to take a step back then do that. If you feel like you’re ready to progress then progress - listening to your body is a great skill to learn!
🔹if what you’re doing isn’t working or is making it worse then do something different. Swim instead of run, cycle instead of jog etc.

Recovery can be so frustrating, it’s normal to feel, at stages, like you are going backwards.
If you’re feeling like this, get in touch - I’m happy to listen and offer advice!

I am so pleased to have completed my Level 4 Qualification in sports massage therapy.

I have learnt so much, met some wonderful people and gained extensive knowledge and experience.

This now means I am able to offer my clients a more comprehensive assessment and treatment programme, using a wide selection of advanced and specialist techniques.

Don’t be put off by the phrase “sports massage”
Anyone can have a sports massage and so many people benefit: From releasing muscle tension, alleviating postural pain, relaxing overuse muscles and aiding recovery from injury. With clinics in Bridport and Beaminster throughout the day and evening, making time to look after your body is possible and is something we should all be doing!

About Me

I am an experienced Soft Tissue Therapist offering bespoke treatments based at Kevin Turner Physio in Bridport and Sophia’s Choice in Beaminster.

About Soft Tissue Therapy:

Soft Tissue Therapy is the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of soft tissues of the body including muscles, tendons and ligaments. It is applicable not only to sports people but to anybody wishing to guard against or recover from a soft tissue injury.

Soft Tissue Therapy incorporates a large variety of treatments including Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, MET, Myofascial Cupping, STR, Manual Stretching and Kinesiology Taping (more info on these can be found on my page)

The techniques used have been developed to ensure effective and efficient results are gained from each massage given. Soft Tissue Therapy may:

•Reduce muscle tension, pain and discomfort.

•Increase range of movement and flexibility.

•Improve postural imbalances.

•Promote recovery and rehabilitation from injury or overuse.

•Improve circulation and lymphatic flow

•Remodel scar tissue when required

As a Soft Tissue Therapists I work with a great range of clients in assisting with preventive treatment and injury recovery, you can feel reassured that you will be receiving an individually tailored, high quality massage treatment.

If you are a sports performer, of any level, a sports specific massage can be beneficial at various stages of participation. Regardless of your experiences in sport or exercise, whether you exercise socially or compete to an international level - Soft Tissue Therapy may have something to offer you.

Whether its helping prevent or recover from an injury, to helping reduce pain from soft tissue dysfuction, helping to improve posture or giving people the confidence to move more and believe in their abilities. I am a great advocat of enabling people to help themselves and will provide all the information and tools needed to achieve this.

Its not just about massage - Together we look at stretches, support taping, therapies to use at home (e.g. using hot and cold therapy) and add activites that will help improve muscle strength and stability.

I work closely with local Physiotherapists - Providing a comprehnsive experience to our clients.

I have qualifications in Itec Level 3 Sports Massage and Active IQ Level 4 Soft Tissue Therapy. I have completed various CPD courses, allowing me to perform techniques such as Myofascial Cupping, RockTaping and Poding (more info about this is on my page!) and IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Therapy). I see it as part of my job to continue my learning through seminars, courses and experience, with the aim of providing the best possible outcomes for my clients.

Work so far includes (but is not esclusive of): Bridport Rugby Club, Beyond Events (Running, Cycling and Triathlon Events), Rock Tape Expo, Volunteering for Cancer Research Uk @ the London Marathon and Ironman Weymouth.

People I treat include:

Rugby Players, Cyclists, Runners, Netball Players, Horse Riders, Dancers, Manual Workers, Office Workers, Medical Professionals,Patients with Scoliosis, Fybromyalgia, Arthritis. The list goes on but the main point is, that Soft Tissue Therapy, including Sports Massage, can be for anyone. It doesnt matter how old you are, how fit you are - it is designed to help you feel and move better.

I have clinics in Bridport and Beaminster that run weekdays and some evenings. Weekends I attend sporting events or training courses and I am always at the end of the phone for information and guidance.
