Electrotherapy is a really effective tool we use in clinic to help stimulate muscle activation, especially when a muscle isn’t firing properly due to pain, injury or post-op inhibition.

In this case, we’re using it to:
✔️ Improve neuromuscular activation
✔️ Reduce muscle inhibition
✔️ Support rehabilitation
✔️ Enhance circulation to the area

It’s not a “quick fix” or a replacement for exercise — but when combined with targeted rehab, it can significantly speed up recovery and improve muscle engagement.

Perfect for post-injury, post-surgical rehab, chronic pain or stubborn muscles that just won’t switch on properly.
If your have an area that isn’t firing the way it should, this might be exactly what it needs 👌

Not all “nerve pain” is caused by a trapped nerve.
Often it’s irritated, sensitive tissue around the nerves — tight skin, fascia, and overworked muscles sending the nervous system into protection mode.

One technique I might use is cupping using a gliding technique.
Instead of static cups, they’re gently moved across the area to create lift and movement through the tissues. This can help:

✔️ Reduce local sensitivity
✔️ Improve tissue glide around superficial nerves
✔️ Ease muscle guarding
✔️ Make movement feel safer and more comfortable

Many people find it feels like a deep release — without heavy pressure on an already sore shoulder.

⚠️ Assessment always comes first. Cupping isn’t a magic fix — it’s one tool alongside rehab, movement work, and load management.

If your shoulder pain feels burning, zingy, or radiates down the arm — don’t ignore it. Getting the right treatment early can make a big difference 🙌

🌟 Important Update 🌟

From 1st March 2026, there will be a small increase to appointment costs. This reflects increasing operating costs and ongoing investment in professional development, equipment and services.

I will continue to offer block bookings to keep the cost down for those of you needing a block of treatments.

Gift vouchers and current block blookings are still available to use after the price increase with no additional fee.

Many thanks, as always, for your understanding and support ❤️

🕷️ K-Tape for Swelling (Lymphatic Taping)

Ever noticed K-tape applied in a spider-web pattern?
It’s not random — it’s a lymphatic taping technique designed specifically to help reduce swelling and bruising.

This taping method gently lifts the skin, creating more space underneath. That extra space helps your body move excess fluid away from the area more efficiently, supporting the natural lymphatic drainage system.

✅ Helps reduce swelling
✅ Can improve comfort and movement
✅ Useful after injury, surgery, or acute flare-ups
✅ Lightweight and comfortable to wear daily

You’ll often see this technique used on ankles, knees, calves, shoulders, or anywhere swelling is lingering longer than it should.

⚠️ K-tape isn’t a magic fix — it works best alongside treatment, movement, and appropriate loading — but it can be a really helpful support tool in the right cases.

If you are experiencing acute or chronic swelling or have bruising you'd like to address, drop us a DM.

Before ➝ After

"Scapula Winging"

It often happens when the muscles around the shoulder and upper back are:
• Overworked
• Tight
• Not working together properly

This can lead to:
– Shoulder tension
– Ache between the shoulder blades
– Reduced strength or stability
– Pain during training, work, or everyday movement

The after photo shows how targeted sports massage can help by:
✔️ Reducing tightness around the shoulder and upper back
✔️ Allowing the shoulder blade to sit more comfortably against the rib cage
✔️ Improving how the area moves and feels

Massage isn’t a “quick fix” — but it can be a powerful first step to help your body move better and feel less restricted.

If your shoulders always feel tight, uneven, or uncomfortable, this could be part of the reason.
If you'd like our help. Get in touch to book in 🙌
