Had a little bit of time today between clients for a cuppa tea, sit down and some admin time!

Its also time to order some more oils and waxes…let me know for any requests, or fellow therapists recommendations pls!

I think it’s time to book onto some new courses too. Eyeing up dry needling and a stretching course currently.

Nice to have a little break to reflex on things and get some new bits in the pipeline to keep me moving forward and Revive growing 😌

Recently back from a lovely trip to wales with the doggos! Lots of walking and a nice rest in our rented cottage!

A note that I have limited availability throughout September as I am off on a few more trips ( I’ve had hardly any breaks this year)!

I have very few appointments left for September- so please get in touch if you’re in need and I will see if I can squeeze you in! ☺️

🌟 **Cracking the Code of Post-Treatment Soreness:**
Feeling a bit "pummeled" after your sports massage? 🏋️‍♂️💆‍♀️ woke up the next day feeling like you’ve been hit by a bus? Here's why it's a good thing..

🩹 **Healing Magic:**
I'm breaking down knots, tension and boosting blood flow during your session. Muscle fibres will be repairing and healing after a massage, just like what happens after a workout.

⏳ **Brief Rollercoaster:**
That feeling is temporary! It's just your muscles repairing from all the good work done to break down dysfunctional tissue. Think of it like a quick stop on the road to feeling amazing. If you're new to massages or it's been a while, this soreness might be more noticeable.

🌈 **Managing Aftermath:**
Remember to stay hydrated, stretch gently, embrace warmth, sleep well, and nourish your body. And if you're new to massages, regular sessions help your muscles adapt for the best results! 🌟💪

🏋️‍♂️ **Sports Massage Aftercare Tips** 🏋️‍♀️

1. **Hydrate:** Drink water to flush out toxins, aiding muscle recovery.
2. **Rest:** Avoid intense workouts for 1-2 days to let muscles heal.
3. **Stretch:** Gently stretch targeted areas for longer benefits.
4. **Ice:** Apply cold if needed for tightness or discomfort.
5. **Breathe:** Practice mindful breathing for relaxation.
6. **No Caffeine/Alcohol:** Give muscles time to recover. These can reintroduce toxins.
7. **Note Progress:** Journal changes for future reference and share feedback in your next session for a tailored experience.

Introduction to a selected range of medium options available at the clinic:

🔹Songbird Wax: This has a subtle fragrant while providing excellent grip. Which is ideal for a deep massage with varied pressures and intensities.

🔹Physique Oils: I stock both the grape seed and therapeutic oils. While they offer a gentler hold, they excel at warming muscles and enhancing relaxation. The therapeutic oil smells of lemongrass, I love combining with the warmth of hot stones for an extra indulgent experience.

🏋️‍♂️ **Understanding DOMS: Overcoming Muscle Soreness** 🏋️‍♀️

**Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)** is that post-workout discomfort we've all experienced. It kicks in a day or two after intense exercise, especially when we push ourselves to the limit or try new movements. But fear not, there are ways to tackle DOMS and promote a quicker recovery!

🛌 **Rest and Recovery:** Give your muscles the time they need to heal and rejuvenate.

🥦 **Hydration and Nutrition:** Feed your body with the right nutrients to aid muscle repair and growth.

🏃‍♂️ **Gradual Progression:** Build up your intensity gradually to avoid excessive muscle damage.

🧘‍♀️ **Stretching:** Gentle stretches can help ease muscle stiffness and improve flexibility.

💆‍♀️ **Massage Magic:** Treat yourself to a soothing massage! Techniques like effleurage increase blood flow, flush out waste products, and reduce muscle tension.

🧼 **Foam Rolling:** Roll away the soreness! Foam rolling helps release tension and improves blood circulation.

🏊‍♀️ **Active Recovery:** Engage in light activity like walking or swimming to boost blood flow without straining your muscles.

🔍 Fun fact: DOMS often appears after the eccentric phase of exercises – the controlled lengthening of muscles under tension (think lowering a weight during a bicep curl).
