MELBOURNE MARATHON RUNNERS… HOW ARE THOSE LEGS? 😂

42.2KM DONE! 🏅

Now comes the important part…

RECOVERY! 🤍

Here are my TOP tips for those tired, aching legs!

🚶‍♀️ GENTLE WALKING — Keep moving without overdoing it.

🧘‍♀️ STRETCHING — Gentle stretches to ease stiffness. No forcing those sore muscles!

💆‍♀️ SPORTS MASSAGE — Once the initial soreness settles, treat those hardworking muscles to some recovery TLC.

🔥 SAUNA — Relax, unwind and enjoy some warmth once you’re properly rehydrated.

❄️ ICE BATH — Can help temporarily ease post-race muscle soreness. Keep it brief and only when you’re feeling well and hydrated.

💧 HYDRATE, EAT & SLEEP — The recovery essentials!

As a runner myself, I know how much effort goes into preparing for race day.

Remember… recovery is part of training, NOT an optional extra! 💪

A HUGE congratulations to everyone who ran Melbourne on Sunday! 👏

Now tell me…

WHO’S STILL STRUGGLING TO WALK DOWN STAIRS? 😂👇

SPORTS MASSAGE ISN’T JUST FOR ATHLETES. 👀

I think this is one of the biggest misconceptions about what we do at JSM.

You absolutely DO NOT need to be an athlete to benefit from a sports massage.

Yes, we treat runners.

Yes, we treat people who train hard.

Yes, we work with athletes.

But you know who else walks through our doors every single day?

People who sit at computers for eight hours.

Tradies.

Parents.

Healthcare workers.

People who travel constantly for work.

People who stand all day.

People who love the gym.

And people whose main sport is apparently answering emails while hunched over a laptop. 😂

Sports massage is really about understanding how YOU use your body.

A good treatment isn’t simply lying down and having the same massage everyone else gets.

We want to know:

What feels tight?

What do you do all day?

How do you train?

Where are you feeling restricted?

What does YOUR body need today?

Then we tailor the treatment accordingly.

Sometimes that means deeper remedial work.

Sometimes it’s targeted work on a particular area.

Sometimes it’s dry needling or cupping where appropriate.

And sometimes your body needs an hour to slow down and switch OFF.

After more than 30 years in this industry, one thing I feel very strongly about is this:

You don’t need to wait until you’re injured to start looking after your body.

Your body gets you through work, training, parenting, commuting, stress and everything else you throw at it.

Looking after it isn’t just for athletes.

It’s for all of us. 🤍

So I’m curious…

What does YOUR body do all day — desk, running, gym, standing, kids, physical work… or a combination of everything? 😂👇

DON’T WAIT UNTIL YOUR BODY HURTS. 👀

One thing I’ve learnt as a sports massage therapist is this…

Your body usually whispers before it starts shouting.

That slightly tight neck.

The shoulders that feel a little heavier than usual.

The lower back that’s starting to stiffen up.

The legs that aren’t recovering quite as quickly after training.

We’re all guilty of ignoring those little signs because life is BUSY.

We keep working.
We keep training.
We keep sitting at our desks.
We keep saying, I’ll deal with it later. 😂

Then suddenly that little niggle becomes something we can’t ignore.

At JSM, I’m a huge believer in maintenance rather than waiting until you’re really uncomfortable.

Regular massage can help address muscular tension, support recovery and keep you more aware of what’s happening in your body.

You don’t have to be injured to look after yourself.

And you definitely don’t need to wait until your body is screaming at you. 😂

Listen to the whispers. 🤍

Your body works pretty bloody hard for you.

Look after it.

MEET JSM’S VERY FIRST PRINCIPAL THERAPIST… TEP! 🤍

I am SO incredibly proud to announce that our beautiful Tep has officially earned promotion to PRINCIPAL THERAPIST — the very first therapist at Jackie’s Sports Massage to achieve this level. 👏👏👏

And honestly… it is so well deserved.

If you’ve been treated by Tep, you probably already understand why. 😂

She has become one of our most popular and requested therapists, with an incredibly loyal client following.

Tep is highly skilled, experienced and passionate about what she does, with expertise across remedial and sports massage, dry needling and cupping.

But becoming a Principal Therapist at JSM isn’t simply about being an amazing massage therapist.

It’s about consistently delivering exceptional treatments, building strong relationships with clients and achieving the incredibly high standards we set within our clinic.

And Tep has absolutely earned it. 🤍

Even better…

From Friday 9 October, Tep will also be opening a NEW Friday shift from 8:30am–3pm, giving you another opportunity to get into her very busy calendar. 🙌

With her promotion to Principal Therapist, Tep’s 60-minute treatment rate will move from $160 to $190 from 9 October, bringing her in line with my Principal Therapist rate.

Tep, I am incredibly proud of you and everything you have achieved at JSM.

Watching our therapists grow, develop their skills and build incredible careers is one of my favourite parts of running this business.

Congratulations Tep — our very first JSM Principal Therapist! 🥂🤍

VERY well deserved.

And to all of Tep’s clients…

You might want to get those appointments booked. 😂💆‍♀️

HSC IS ALMOST HERE… AND THIS ONE IS PERSONAL FOR ME. 🤍

As a mum with a son who has just finished Year 12, I know firsthand just how much pressure our teenagers can be under during this time.

We spend so much time making sure our kids are studying, eating properly, getting enough sleep and preparing academically…

But sometimes we forget just how much stress teenagers can carry in their bodies too.

Hours sitting at a desk.

Heavy school bags.

Weekend sport and training.

Late-night study.

Tight necks and shoulders.

And that general feeling of being physically and mentally exhausted.

Massage can give teenagers some dedicated time to slow down, relax and switch off, while also helping with muscular tension and recovery from sport and training.

And I LOVE the idea of teaching our kids from a young age that looking after their bodies isn’t something they should only do when something hurts.

Self-care and recovery are healthy habits for life. 🤍

With the school holidays here and HSC exams approaching, we’re expecting our kids and teen appointments to get busy.

So if your teenager could use a little TLC before the pressure ramps up, now is a great time to get them booked in.

And to all our beautiful Year 12 students preparing for the HSC…

You’ve worked so hard to get here. Look after yourselves, get some sleep, move your bodies and remember to breathe. You’ve got this. 💪📚🤍

From one parent to another — sometimes our kids need permission to stop and recharge too.

KEEP STRETCHING THE SAME TIGHT SPOT… BUT IT KEEPS COMING BACK?

I see this ALL the time.

You stretch it.

It feels amazing for five minutes.

Then later…

HELLO. IT’S BACK. 😂

Sometimes what feels like one “tight muscle” isn’t as simple as one muscle needing another stretch.

Training load, repetitive movements, long hours sitting, strength, mobility and what other areas of the body are doing can all play a part in why something keeps feeling tight.

And that’s where a good remedial massage isn’t simply about attacking the sore spot as hard as possible. 😂

We listen. We assess. We look at the bigger picture.

Sometimes the area you’ve been stretching isn’t even the area that needs the most attention.

After years of treating bodies, one thing I’ve learnt is this:

If your body keeps giving you the same message… maybe it’s worth listening to it. 🤍

And no — that doesn’t mean every tight muscle needs a massage. If you have persistent, worsening or unexplained pain, get it properly assessed.

But if you’ve been stretching the SAME spot every single day…

This might be your sign. 😂💆‍♀️

Know someone who’s constantly stretching their neck, back, calves or hips?

SEND THIS TO THEM. 😂👇

5 SIGNS YOUR BODY IS BEGGING FOR A MASSAGE 👀

1. You wake up feeling stiff
2. Your shoulders live up near your ears 😂
3. You keep stretching the SAME spot
4. Your legs never feel fully recovered
5. You keep saying… “I really need a massage”

Sound familiar? 😂

You know that person who is CONSTANTLY saying…

“God, I need a massage.”

But somehow never actually books one? 😂

Maybe this is you.

You wake up feeling stiff.

Your shoulders seem to permanently live somewhere near your ears.

You keep stretching the same tight spot over and over again, but it never really seems to change.

Your legs still feel heavy and tired days after training.

And every time someone mentions massage you say…

“OMG. I NEED ONE.” 😂

After more than 30 years of treating bodies, one thing I’ve learnt is that your body will often give you little signals that it needs some attention.

You don’t have to wait until you’re really uncomfortable before you start looking after it.

Massage can be part of regular maintenance too — helping to ease muscular tension, support movement and recovery, and giving you some much-needed time to simply switch OFF.

So if you’ve said “I really need a massage” sometime this week…

Well…

I think we both know what you need to do. 😂💆‍♀️

And if you’re reading this thinking of someone else…

SEND THIS TO THEM. 😂👇

They’ll know exactly why.

🏃‍♀️ GOOD LUCK SYDNEY MARATHON RUNNERS! 🤍

Tomorrow is YOUR day.

The early mornings.

The long runs.

The tired legs.

The sessions you absolutely smashed… and the ones you somehow just survived. 😂

The kilometres nobody saw.

All of it has brought you to this weekend.

After more than 30 years of looking after Sydney runners, I know just how much work goes into getting your body — and your mind — to a marathon start line.

So today, my advice is simple.

You’ve done the work.

Don’t try to squeeze in anything else.

Hydrate. Eat well. Rest those legs. Get organised. Take a breath.

And tomorrow…

TRUST YOUR TRAINING.

Don’t worry about anyone else’s race.

Run YOUR race.

Soak up the atmosphere.

Look around.

Smile.

And when it gets tough, remember how bloody hard you worked to get there.

Whether you’re chasing a PB, running your first marathon or simply dreaming of seeing that finish line…

42.2KM. YOU’VE GOT THIS. 🏅

From all of us at Jackie’s Sports Massage, GOOD LUCK!

We’ll be cheering you on from start to finish…

And we’ll be waiting for those tired legs on the other side. 😂💆‍♀️🤍

SAVE this for a little reminder tomorrow morning & SEND it to someone running.

YOUR SORE SPOT ISN’T ALWAYS THE WHOLE STORY.

One of the things I love about a great sports or remedial massage is that we don’t necessarily spend the entire treatment working on the exact spot you’ve pointed to. 😂

Everything is connected.

💆‍♀️ PECS & CHEST
Tightness through the chest and shoulders can contribute to the way your neck, shoulders and upper back feel.

🍑 GLUTES & HIPS
Tightness here can influence how your hips, lower back and legs are moving.

🙆‍♀️ UPPER TRAPS & BASE OF THE SKULL
Tension through these areas can be associated with that familiar tight-neck feeling and some types of headaches.

And one of our favourite things to hear on the massage table?

“OMG… I didn’t even know I was tight THERE!” 😂

At Jackie’s Sports Massage, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatments.

We listen. We assess. We treat the person on the table.

After more than 30 years of sports and remedial massage, one thing I know for sure…

The best treatments aren’t about following the same routine on every body.

They’re about understanding bodies.

And that’s exactly what our amazing JSM therapists do every single day. 🤍

💾 SAVE this post for later.
