Deep tissue massage shouldn't be a test of endurance or testing your pain threshold🥴
If you feel battered - or worse, you’ve been bruised, that's abuse… 🤕
It's not a battle between the therapist and your muscles.
A good deep tissue massage should feel therapeutic, even when it's intense. 😊
It's a gentle conversation between your nervous system and the therapist, working together to ease tension, reduce pain, and leave you feeling relaxed 😌
Working with deep tissue requires skill,
not force.

If your therapist doesn't check in with you during treatment to ensure you're 100% comfortable it may be time to find someone new.
Just sayin'…. 💕

👉Massage is back in the headlines with The Guardian asking how healthy massage really is and spotlighting its role in supporting people living with pain, cancer, long term conditions, anxiety and sleep problems. It is a rare piece of mainstream coverage that actually acknowledges touch as part of healthcare, not just a spa extra. 

For GCMT council members who support you, the therapist, this is a reminder that what you do is skilled work. A well trained, thoughtful, evidence informed therapist can offer so much more than ‘just a massage’, helping clients feel safer in their bodies, less overwhelmed and better supported alongside wider medical care. Let us keep showing the public what safe, compassionate, professional touch really looks like.

You don’t always need to take timeout of your day for exercise. Further to your treatment we look at ways to integrate short and easy to do movement and strength “snacks”, which - done consistently-make a big difference over time 👍

Short walks, stretches, squats at the desk, stairs instead of the elevator.
Small, consistent motions build strength, resilience, and longevity.

You don’t need “more time.”
You need more motion.
And that’s something you can start right now.

Evidence supporting why I go on and on and on about breath work to reduce tension 🙃

Breath and Emotion Connected by Newly Identified Brain Circuit

Researchers have discovered a brain circuit connecting the anterior cingulate cortex, pons, and medulla that links voluntary breathing control to emotional states.

This circuit slows breathing during calm moments and accelerates it under anxiety, offering a neurological basis for practices like yoga and mindfulness.

Experiments in mice revealed that activating this circuit reduced anxiety and slowed breathing, while deactivating it increased stress and breathing rates.
