This year reminded me that emotional stress, grief and life’s curveballs affect more than just our mindset, they show up physically too.

Tension, fatigue, flare ups, they’re all signs our body is asking for rest and recovery.

What I’ve learned:

💙 You can’t rush healing, you have to nurture it.

💙 Helping others often helps you heal too.

💙 Time outdoors, movement and reflection really do restore you.

As I move into 2026, I’m carrying forward resilience, patience and purpose ✨

Keeping your horse performing at their best doesn’t have to mean spending more money

It means managing the basics well 🐴

Many performance issues come from inconsistency, repetitive training or not allowing enough downtime.

A consistent routine, varied work, and letting your horse simply be a horse are some of the most cost effective ways to support soundness, movement and long term performance.

If you’re feeling pressured to do more but aren’t sure it’s actually helping, this is your reminder that simple, consistent care often beats expensive fixes.

Share it with a yard friend who needs the reminder 💛

It’s not just about strength or flexibility. It’s about mindset 😌

The clients who’ve made the biggest progress this year are the ones who stopped chasing quick fixes and started trusting the process.

They showed up consistently, invested in their goals and worked through the tough days, not just the good ones.

That’s what creates real, lasting results 💪🏼

Whether it’s overcoming pain, improving mobility, or building confidence in your sport, my clients mindset have set the tone for their movement.

If you changed your mindset just imagine how much could change by this time next year, let me know in the comments what the ONE thing about your body or performance you want to improve on next year? 💙

Before you start setting new season goals or chasing your next PB, take a step back and check your foundation, your movement, mobility, and recovery.

If you don’t fix what held you back this year, you’ll only repeat the same frustrations next year 🤯

Stiff hips, overworked quads, knees that ache after every session, these aren’t random.

They’re signs of compensated movement patterns your body’s using to get by.

A HumanTrak Assessment helps uncover these weak links, showing you exactly where your movement is breaking down and most importantly how to fix it.

We’re starting 2026 strong 💪🏼

I know you’re ready to build a foundation that supports your performance goals. Comment “HUMAN TRAK’ to book your assessment now 🏋🏻

You wouldn’t skip a car service, so why skip your body’s? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Earlier this year, I had a blowout on the ring road after a drill bit went through my tyre.

Cue: rearranged plans, endless repairs and a whole lot of stress.

And it made me think, the same goes for your body when you start ignoring the tightness, the niggles, or the “I’ll sort it after Christmas” pains.

It’s inevitably only going to lead to bigger breakdowns later.

Your sports massage is your winter service, a way to check in, reset and keep yourself running smoothly before the new year.

If you think pushing harder through winter means better results next season… think again.

The pros deload and it’s one of their biggest performance secrets.

Here’s why 👇

✅ It allows the body to recover from stress and microtrauma

✅ Prevents burnout and overtraining

✅ Creates time to improve mobility and fix imbalances

✅ Builds a stronger foundation for the next training phase

Even your horse gets downtime with planned rest, physio and conditioning blocks so why shouldn’t you? 🐴

December is your window to reset, rebuild, and get ready for 2026.

That’s where HumanTrak comes in, a cutting edge movement assessment that helps identify hidden imbalances and optimise how your body moves.

If you’re ready for your strongest season yet comment ‘HUMAN TRAK’ to book in a session before the new year.

Your best season starts with this..

A 45 minute sports rehab session could be the difference between feeling “a bit tight” and performing at your full capacity.

Whether you’re a rider, runner, or athlete, targeted rehab helps:

✅ Improve movement efficiency

✅ Reduce recurring niggles

✅ Build mobility and stability

✅ Set you up for your strongest season yet

December is the perfect time for a reset, you’ve got downtime between competitions giving your body a chance to rebuild and refine.

Based in Bristol, I help athletes and riders move better, recover smarter and perform stronger 📍

You said you’d rest after the season… but have you actually stopped?

Many athletes and riders push through fatigue in December because they’re scared to “lose progress.”

But recovery doesn’t make you weaker. It’s the reset your body needs to rebuild stronger for the season ahead.

Taking time to rest won’t erase your fitness, it prevents overtraining, reduces injury risk and improves long term performance.

Whether you’re in the gym, on the field, or in the saddle, your mobility and recovery now will set the tone for 2026.

✨ Prioritise your recovery.

✨ Move gently, walk, stretch, breathe.

✨ And if you’re feeling sore, stiff or run down book a sports recovery session in Bristol to recharge before January hits.

Struggling to keep your heels down when you ride? 👀

Before you blame your stirrup length, let’s talk about what’s really happening.

Tight calves, poor ankle mobility, or hip compensation can make it impossible to maintain correct lower leg control.

When your ankles can’t absorb shock properly, your body looks for stability elsewhere, often in your thighs, knees, or hips. The result? A tense rider and an even tenser horse.

Working on your balance, stability, and lower limb mobility off the horse can make a huge difference in how you move on the horse.

This is exactly what we assess in my Rider Performance Clinics in Bristol, identifying your movement limitations and giving you a plan to correct them.

Move better. Ride stronger. Feel more balanced 🐴

If you’re saying you “don’t have time,” what you really mean is it’s not a priority right now.

But here’s the truth, a 45 minute sports rehab or massage session can save you hours (and £££) in the long run.

Ignoring niggles now often leads to bigger problems later.

Investing in regular recovery keeps you training consistently, reduces injury risk and boosts performance.

If you can scroll Instagram for an hour… you can book a session that actually helps you feel and move better 😉

Tight hips holding you back? Whether you’re a rider, runner, or lifter, restricted hip mobility can affect your posture, power, and performance not to mention make sitting (or squatting) feel uncomfortable.

Here are 3 mobility exercises to help loosen things up and move better 👇

1. Hip Flexor Stretch

1. Hamstring Flossing (3x8 reps)
2. 90/90 Hip Stretch

These simple, low equipment movements can help:

- Reduce stiffness and soreness
- Improve squat and stride mechanics
- Support recovery between sessions

Consistency is key, aim to include these in your warm up or cool down 3-4 times a week.

Save this post for your next mobility session and start giving your hips the love they deserve!

If you’re always tight in the same spot after every workout, ride, or run that’s not just coincidence.

It’s your body waving a red flag 🚩

Constant soreness or stiffness usually points to an underlying movement dysfunction, often from an old injury or imbalance that’s never been properly addressed.

For example, one of my Bristol clients with ankle metalwork after an Ironman kept getting tightness in the opposite hamstring because her body was compensating.

The fix? Not more ice. Not more rest.

But a smart mobility and prehab plan that tackles *why* that tightness keeps coming back.
