Posture and Poise

03/01/2026

We’ve had some truly lovely reviews over the Christmas period, and this one feels particularly special as it’s for one of our newer treatments 🤍

Kate and Gemma have been working hard behind the scenes to roll out our Myofascial Release Massage, and it’s been so rewarding to see such positive feedback already.

This treatment isn’t just about relaxing tight muscles. It works with the wider connective system too, including fascia, tendons and ligaments, helping to improve how the body moves and feels as a whole.

Myofascial release can be especially helpful for those living with chronic pain, persistent or recurring injuries, or those frustrating aches and pains that don’t always have a clear cause.

If you haven’t tried it yet, this could be a really supportive place to start.

Bookings are open now 💫

Is your New Year’s resolution to get fitter (again)?

Have you tried before, only to stall because the plan was unrealistic, your body didn’t cooperate, or aches, stiffness and old injuries got in the way?

You’re not alone. ❤️

January often feels like a clean slate. Full of motivation, fresh starts and big intentions. It’s easy to forget that the last time you went for a jog might have been years ago, or that your body has changed since then.

Getting fitter doesn’t mean going all in.
It means adding in the missing details.
Support for tight muscles.
Time for mobility and recovery.
Strength where your body needs it most.

When those pieces are in place, progress feels far more achievable — and far more sustainable.

That’s exactly what our January Special Offer is designed to support.

This is particularly close to our hearts and although we can not do much we are privileged to have a platform to share this with and hopefully encourage donations.

I think everything that needs saying is in the link in the article comments. ❤️

NEWS | More than £130,000 has been raised to support a serving police officer following a devastating fire that killed his wife and children.

Lucy, who set up the fundraising page, said:

This has been set up following a devastating house fire at Tom’s home in Brimscombe, in the early hours of Boxing Day.

Tom is now facing an unimaginable period of grief alongside the very real and immediate practical reality of having nothing left.

This fund has been set up to help support them with the practical needs he’s facing now and in the months ahead - including emergency accommodation, clothing and essentials, time away from work and the many unexpected costs that arise during a period like this.

Right now, the most important thing is that he can focus on getting through each day, without the added pressure of financial or practical worries.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity and support at an incredibly difficult time.

We’re running our next Fibromyalgia Respite Retreat on 17th January at The Barn in Brailes, near Shipston on Stour. This is a calm, supportive day designed specifically for people with fibro. It’s not about pushing or fixing, just learning, resting and feeling understood.

The day blends up-to-date, evidence-informed insights around pain and fibromyalgia with practical, gentle self-care and restorative practices.

One of our previous attendees kindly shared this after coming along:

“I attended the Fibromyalgia Retreat in November and it was absolutely brilliant. So welcoming and supportive. The team are really knowledgeable and I came away feeling really positive for the first time in ages.”
