⚠️ANNOUNCEMENT⚠️

With a heavy heart I must announce that AW Sports Therapy is closing its doors with immediate effect. It is no secret I have spent the last two years juggling a full time masters degree in physiotherapy, running a business and being a career for poorly family.

In 2016, I set out on my self employed journey and over the last 7 years I have worked in several locations treating many lovely people along the way. Most recently, I have been based at the wonderful New Body Fitness Weymouth where I will continue to be part of the fitness community. 🙌

A huge thank you to every single person who has supported me and AW Sports Therapy. Without my incredible clients I would not have been able to do a job I love everyday. There are not enough words to thank everyone who has stuck with me through a pandemic, studying, placements and disappearing on work trips. I have loved every second of running AW Sports Therapy and stepping away has not been an easy decision. However, I have gained the opportunity to be employed in a dream job role. 🥰
I will continue to be present on social media as ABBIE TAYLOR SPORTS PHYSIO. I’m looking forward to starting my new chapter as a specialist MSK & sports injury physiotherapist. 👩‍🎓🏃‍♂️🏋‍♀️

Bye for now
🧡

Cupping - Have you tried it?

Myofascial Cupping has been around since the early 19th century – only recently has the image of purple circles on professional athlete’s backs created attention to an ancient myofascial therapy. The cups and techniques have changed over time, but the basic premise of the cups providing suction to decompress the underlying tissue remains the same.

A little about me...

As it has been a while I thought I would share a little bit about what I do and why I love helping people through AW Sports Therapy.
🔹AW Sports Therapy was developed to help people deal with a range of aches, pains, injuries and issues. I have worked with a wide range of individuals from high performance sport to weekend warriors. Premier league footballers and Olympic gold medalists.
🔹My approach - I want to put you at the centre of your care. Your treatment plan will be tailored around you and your life. No boring photocopied generic exercise sheets. Everything is individualised to you. I take time to explain and talk through your problem to help you take control and fix the issue fully.
🔹Based within New Body Fitness Weymouth, myself and my clients have access to some of the best kit and facilities locally available.
🔹I've completed a BSc honours degree in Sports Therapy and I am currently completing my MSc in Physiotherapy.

🌟Bamboo Massage🌟

An Invigorating, deeply relaxing massage. If you like deep tissue massage, you are going to LOVE Warm Bamboo Massage! This massage not only works at a very deep level, but also has an incredable effect on your lymph and circulation. Each piece of bamboo cane is carefully hand-crafted and shaped to glide smoothly over the body.

Warm Bamboo Massage is a unique new way to relax tight muscles, release stress, tension and improve sports performance.

Bamboo Sticks of different lengths and diameters to massage the body. The sticks are gently warmed and applied to give deep and long massage strokes to break down tension and stretch tight and sluggish muscles. Stimulation of the tissue by the Bamboo Sticks is believed to relieve this “Sluggish State”, by dissipating the heat that results from an accumulation of toxins and poor circulation, as would occur through Deep Tissue Massage, trigger-point activation, or various acupressure techniques.

Pop me a message or use the link below to book for January and February's half price offer 😍

QUAD DOMINANT VS. HIP DOMINANT SQUATS!

So many people like to debate what a “perfect” squat looks like, and today we’re here to ease some of that pressure!

Based on many factors such as limb and torso lengths, previous injury history, current mobility levels, etc. your squat may look either more quad dominant or more hip dominant. A quad dominant squat requires greater ankle mobility and is easier to attain for those with shorter femurs and longer torsos. A hip dominant squat is more likely to occur in folks with more limited ankle mobility and/or longer femurs and shorter torsos.

Mobility is certainly something we can all work on, but factors like limb and torso length we only have our parents to thank (or blame) for! There’s nothing we can do to change it, and instead of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, we can just modify our squat style to more naturally fit our body type.

When it’s time to add weight to your squats, there are different things you can do to ensure that the bar remains over your base of support (mid-foot) such as move where the bar sits on your back, so that you’re still performing a safe and effective squat whether you’re more quad or hip dominant!
