It’s always such a great feeling to hear how massage is helping people feel and move better.
Every review means a lot, not just because it supports my business, but because it reminds me why I love what I do.

If you’ve been thinking about booking in but haven’t quite taken that step, maybe this is your sign.
Massage can help ease tension, support recovery, and give you that reset your body’s been asking for.

As the clocks go back and the days get shorter, it’s easy to slow down, but staying active through winter is one of the best things you can do for your body and mind.

Movement helps your joints stay nourished (“motion is lotion”), supports your mood, and keeps your muscles and nervous system adapting to load.

You don’t need long workouts, just regular, meaningful movement: walking, mobility drills, gentle strength work, or anything that gets you moving in ways you enjoy.

Remember, your muscles don’t need endless “stretching”; they need movement, load, and variety to stay healthy.

Keep the momentum going, your future self will thank you for it. 🌿

Why getting up and down from the floor matters

Being able to get up and down from the floor is one of the best indicators of long-term mobility and independence.

As we age, we naturally lose some strength, flexibility, and confidence in movement, which can make this simple task feel harder.
The good news? You can train it.

* Staying mobile helps us stay independent longer
* Regular movement helps to keep joints and muscles strong
* Even gentle practise, rising from the floor or walking, makes a big difference

What you can do now:
* Practice floor rises slowly and safely
* Add strength work for your legs, glutes, and core
* Keep moving in ways you enjoy

Massage can also help by reducing that feeling of tightness and restricted movement, supporting freer, more confident movement.

If you’d like guidance on improving your mobility (or combining it with massage), send me a message, I’d love to help you keep moving well.

What an inspiring weekend of learning, movement, and connection! ✨

I had the privilege of training under our head instructor, Rick Faye, who travelled all the way from Minnesota, alongside so many phenomenal martial artists from all around the world.
I’m proud to share that I was awarded my Associate 1.1 Instructor Certificate!

One of the things I love about this art is how it ties perfectly into what I share in clinic...
Motion is lotion. Exercise is the ultimate pill.

Movement doesn’t have to mean the gym. It can be something that challenges your coordination, engages your brain, and brings you joy.
The Kali side of our training works the whole body, improving mobility, balance, coordination, and even memory... it can be adapted for all levels.

Getting up and down from the floor, moving in new ways, and having fun, that’s what it’s all about! ❤️💪🙏

SUPERNOVA 5K FINISHER

An incredible evening run, where everyone lights up Bournemouth seafront, and a reminder that it’s never too late to start something new.

I’ve been building up gradually, week by week, and this weekend I ran the full 5K consistently with my running buddy from the clinic.

Just like I tell my clients: it’s all about load vs capacity.
Start where you are, build gradually, and your body will adapt.

Always Learning, Always Growing 🌱

I’ve been spending time this week diving deeper into the anatomy of the foot and ankle, today’s focus was on the nerves... their pathway in the lower leg, their branches, and how they influence both movement (motor) and sensation (sensory).

It’s all part of my ongoing studies with Movement Therapy Education, working towards my Movement Therapy Diploma. Preparing me for a practical hands-on day in Ludlow in November, focusing on clinical assessment and early rehab of the foot and ankle.

The more I learn, the more I’m reminded of how incredible and complex the human body is and how much potential we all have to move, adapt, and recover.

📸 Here's a few screenshots from my online learning session today'

Load vs Capacity, a little reminder from experience!

If you’ve had a break from training, remember to ease back in. Our tissues... muscles, tendons, joints, need time to rebuild their capacity after rest or illness. Jumping straight back to where you left off can sometimes overload the system and lead to pain or niggles.

Classic case… me 😅 I’d reached week 8 of Couch to 5k before life, weather, and a post-holiday cold got in the way. After 5 weeks off, I didn’t pick up where I left off, I went back to week 4, then 5 once it felt right. It’s all about giving your body time to adapt again.

Feels great to be back out there, new route, fresh air, and a few signs of autumn along the way 🍁

If you'd like to understand more about this, here's a link to a great explainer on Load vs Capacity...

I often share the video Tame the Beast with clients, as it's a powerful way to understand what's really going on with persistent (chronic) pain. Pain experts are now learning that the way we think about pain can actually change how we experience it. In this video, Professor Lorimer Mosley explains how pain works and offers new ways to help reduce it.

If you want to know or if you think I could help you, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
