It makes me feel so happy when I see posts like this from clients. The images below show this clients journey over the past year, she started off very tense, uncomfortable and in constant pain. Through regular massage with myself and a few session of chiropractic work, she can now carry out her work much more easily. I'm so proud of how far she has come 🙌🏻⭐

⭐ suffering with stiff shoulders? ⭐

I always find it amazing how much you can physically see a change after a treatment which is why I like to take the odd photo to show people!

Stiff neck and shoulders seem to be one of the most common issues I see as a massage therapist and these can have knock on effects throughout the body, such as;
- reduced head and shoulder mobility
- arm pain/pins and needles
- headaches/migraines
- compensatory pain in mid to lower back
- poor posture

Sports massage will release the tension built up, improve posture and reduce the risk of injuries as a result. See below how the right shoulder has completely dropped Away from the head and neck.
If you would like to book an appointment all you have to do is send a message :)

⭐ Client Progress ⭐

Well this is a slightly different angle to view a before and after of Sports massage!
This client has had 4 previous treatments for over all body aches and back pain from her daily life. She owns very big hunt horses and does all the dirty work that goes with them. It took the first couple of sessions to break down general tension and in this particular session we got down to the nitty gritty. Here in the top photo you can see a huge build up of tension on the right side of the back, this was due to the serratus posterior and intercostal in the mid back. In this session we were able to release this quite a significant amount as you can see from the bottom photo! These muscles play an important part of stabilising the vertebral column and with allowing comfortable respiration, by freeing these muscles it can help to restore spinal stabilisation and make breathing easier. This source of pain had a knock on affect in surround muscles!

If you feel your body is lacking support, has a weakness in one side, developing repeated tension in the same areas, stiffness and many more then massage can help you!

I just love being able to help balance out clients bodies!
This client has severe scoliosis which effects her every day life, and the muscles of her body have to try and support her curved spine. This has a domino effect on the rest of her body!
As you can see her shoulders are at completely different heights, she has extreme pain in her neck and suffering from headaches. Her pelvis was pulled completely to the right and the left side had dropped making her left leg longer than her right. Now you can imagine how uncomfortable that would be when walking.
The after photo shows that the treatment has helped to rebalance her shoulders and her pelvis, making her legs the same length again. Of course the scoliosis is a permanent issue which I cannot fix but I can do my best to make her everyday life more comfortable 🙌😊

⭐ CLIENT TRANSFORMATION ⭐

Now this isn't as blindingly obvious as the last and has take a little while to get her to a comfortable level. These photos were after 2 sessions 2 weeks apart. This client runs a very busy livery yard and riding school, running around doing all yard duties, riding multiple horses and standing for hours teaching lessons day in day out. She has always had issues with her back and even struggled to lift her arms up above shoulder height. This tension had built up over years through hard work without getting treatment. I started working with her 2 years ago and so the photos are sognificantly better than her alignment atbthe start of treatment.
As you can see from her first photo, she suffers with protracted shoulders (where the shoulders roll forwards). Now this a very common issue I see with most of my clients, particularly horsey clients, due to heavy lifting and possibly strong horses who ride on the forehand and pulling you forwards. As you can see this can affect your overall posture in general causing tension in the upper back and chest along with weakness in the mid back and neck. I have attached images to show examples.
There are a few stretches you can do daily along with regular massage to help correct this issue and improve overall posture and improve any muscle imbalances.

If you feel you suffer with this or any other postural issue get in touch to book an appointment 😊

TRANSFORMATION TIME 🙌

Believe it or not, this is after just one treatment.

My client has kindly given me permission to used the photos I have taken to show her the changes made to her body after just one treatment.

This young lady has an extremely physical job involving yard work and riding up to 12 horses a day! She was very uneven through the shoulder and pelvis with very rounded shoulders. After just one full hour treatment where we worked on the chest, shoulders, back and muscles of the pelvis, we have seen a huge improvement of her overall alignment. Her pelvis and shoulders are much more level and loosening the pectoral muscles and anterior deltoid has helped to open up the shoulders!

If you suffer from chronic pain or misalignment, sports massage could be the answer you're looking for so please get in touch on 07508374454 or message for more information and availability.
