I would have thought July a bit early for this type of housekeeping…however!

If you have a cough, sneeze, body aches, lethargy, or otherwise feel like you’re coming down with something PLEASE phone to rearrange your appointment. There is no fee for this and is recommended for a few reasons.

Firstly, if you have body work while feeling under the weather it might make you feel worse. A body has to recover from someone poking and prodding it, if the immune system is already busy with something else recovery can take a bit longer. The second and most important thing is containing those germs, no one likes to be ill.

Please rearrange if you don’t feel well, I thank you wholeheartedly in advance 🙏🏼

If I’m wearing a mask during routine appointments, no offence is intended and I’m not requiring that you wear one. Simply to phone if you are unwell so I can help you at a later date. Much love to you all ❤️

When it comes to preventing overuse injuries, recovery is king. These injuries occur when you're creating tissue stress at faster than it can recover. If you’re in a state of overuse, massage, assisted stretch, and myofascial release can aid in recovery.

A new event from Ctrl Alt Breathe:

The Kirk event Signature journey 6th Sept

At **Ctrl Alt Breathe**, we use 9D Breathwork and Reiki to work on both a physical and emotional level, releasing built-up tension, regulating your nervous system, and shifting what's been stuck. Most people don't realise how much they've been holding... until they feel the difference after. Simple,...

As a general rule, avoid exercises that have your joints at any of their end ranges through the motion. An example would be a behind--the-neck press. Your shoulders stay in full external rotation throughout the motion. These types of movements are notoriously hard on the joints and smaller muscles around joint, e.g. the rotator cuff.

Your area of pain (although valid) doesn't always need something done TO it. Sometimes it needs something done FOR it... somewhere else. This is why I always talk to you before your session and palpate before getting stuck in.

Sometimes, the simple act of pointing your foot can cause the quads to inhibit and stick. This makes kneeling especially hard on the knees and can happen when the extensor tendons become adhered to the extensor retinaculum -- a common occurrence. Myofascial release of this area can help.

Have you ever been in session and wonder why I will occasionally spend more time one one area compared to the other? Sometimes the key to maintaining bodily balance is UNbalanced treatment. More on this side, less on this side, etc…Sometimes a symmetrical approach simply maintains existing asymmetry.
