Purpose Neuromuscular Massage Therapy

Woo hooo!! As always I'm keeping things interesting!
PurposeNMT has a new home!
I have been working hard over the Christmas break trying to find a new clinic space that is comfortable, light, bright and is easily accessible for my clients.
PurposeNMT will now be located inside the clinic on Ormiston Road.

There is plenty of off street and wheelchair accessible parking with a short trot to the lift, up to the second floor and we are just there!

For clients the txt and email reminders will come with easy to follow instructions.
(If in doubt look for the lion brewery - we are just opposite on the corner!)

I'm soooooo looking forward to welcoming you to this new space.
🤗🍃✨

Happy Christmas season from your favourite fur friend Maisie May!

She has been a really good girl and handling the summer heat well. Still not a fan of swimming, even when mums bought her a life jacket, she's just not into it.

The last day in clinic is Monday the 22nd December.
Monday the 12th Jan will likely be opened for bookings (instead of the first day back being Tuesday the 13th)
Get in touch if this works for you!!

What was learnt/did I take away from the advanced dry needling course over the weekend?

- scar tissue needling
This is going to be so helpful for some clients who are struggling with lingering pain, stiffness or lack of movement in their scars. From joint replacement to c-section, dry needling for scars is safe and very effective.
(I even got my own bunion scar done from 17 years ago)

- fascial needling
I have already used this technique in clinic!
This can be used around the neck/where the thoracic spine begins and around the sacrum. Fascia is the spiderweb of the body and the techniques used helps to unwind fascia to provide easier movement and less pain and stiffness.

- ligament needling.
This is exactly how it sounds - Dry needling ligaments.
This requires a few specific questions around clinical reasoning as to WHY this would need to be treated.

- deep spinal muscles
Similar to the needling that has been happening in clinic already. Just on a new area of the body.

Any questions or concerns feel free to ask during your next appointment.

It's happening!
I've been wanting to do a retreat with for ages and as things would turn out the 2026 country is one that's been on the bucket list for the last few years!

Woohoooo 2026 is Japan!
I will be off from the 21st until the 31st of May partaking in about 8 workshops and learning from some of the industries best!

Don't worry this won't be another month's holiday like last year but I am so looking forward to this trip!

I'm saving up again so I can afford to try all the ramen (one of my "never get tired of" comfort foods) and diving head first into my first few days in Tokyo then heading to Osaka for this retreat!

(As my sailing trip that was planned for November has been canceled I reeeeeaally needed something to look forward to 😂🙌🏻)

The year is flying by and I'm sure we are all looking forward to the warmer weather, filled with longer evenings and beach filled weekends!
