Sponsored Athlete Aaron Sarwar💥

One of Scotland's top youth boxers is setting his sights on ring stardom.

Kilmarnock sensation Aaron Sarwar is soaring through the amateur ranks as one of Europe's fastest rising talents.

The 17-year-old heads for Sweden next week bidding to retain the coveted 'Prince of the Ring' title he won against 700 other fighters last year.

But the Northwest Boxing Club kid admits even bigger goals lie on the horizon as he bids to become the next big Scots boxing talent.

Recent studio upgrade

I’ve always had it in mind to create a warm and welcoming environment, as my previous setups felt a little cold and clinical. With business expansion now underway, it felt like the right time to create a space that truly reflects that vision.

Alongside this upgrade, a second recovery room is also in progress, which I’m hopeful will be ready in the coming weeks.

I hope you enjoy the new space and feel even more relaxed here.

For those who have been clients of mine over the past four years, you’ll know that I’ve been studying at university alongside running the business. A question that often comes up is: “What exactly are you studying? What do you actually learn on a nutrition degree, is it just meal plans? And what are you going to do with it afterwards?”

This year I want to give a deeper, behind-the-scenes look at my final year of study. If you’re interested in nutrition, health, or just fancy a little nosey at where I hope to take the business next, then this series is for you.

Jaw pain, clicking, or tension around the face and neck? These are issues I hear about often in the treatment room, and they can sometimes be linked to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

I’ve just uploaded my first long-form YouTube video where I share my own experience with TMJ and what helped me. This isn’t medical advice, it is just my personal journey and what I found useful.

If you deal with TMJ symptoms or know someone who does, this might be worth a watch.

Alongside health and recovery content, I’ll also be starting a vlog series documenting my final year studying Nutrition at university, giving a behind-the-scenes look at the process and sharing what I’m learning along the way.

Thanks for the support, and if you find the video helpful, feel free to like, comment, or subscribe.

Muscle knots don’t exist… at least, not in the way you’ve been told.

That tight, lumpy spot you feel in your neck, back, or shoulders isn’t your muscle twisted into a knot. Muscles can’t physically do that.

What you might be feeling could include:
• Trigger points – small, irritable spots within muscle fibres
• Increased muscle tone – protective tension from stress, overuse, or injury
• Fascial stiffness – changes in connective tissue that reduce movement

Massage can help by:
• Supporting reduced nervous system tension
• Encouraging improved blood flow and nutrient delivery
• Aiding normal muscle and fascia mobility

It doesn’t “untie” anything. Instead, it can help your body relax, move more freely, and feel better.
