Clients appreciation post! Firstly, this guy - managing multiple single arm rows with an awkward 30kg barbell! Especially remarkable considering that he was struggling to lift a 4kg dumbbell postoperatively! Weight training is essential! It helps build lean muscle, and muscle is metabolically active, meaning it burns more calories even when we're resting. And let me bore you with the importance of lifting for women - it supports bone density, helps reduce the risk of fractures as we age, and can be a powerful tool during perimenopause and menopause. Lecture over. Now also to thank my sports massage patients 💙 you guys kept me busy these couple of weeks with follow up appointments, general maintenance sessions & "emergency" lower back spasm, and upper back, neck & shoulder "don't know what I've done" sessions. Always fun to help with your health needs after climbing Ben Nevis, playing golf, having stressful audits at work or participating in triathlons. Sports massage is for everyone! And for one of my regulars who left a choc cake on my doorstep - I love your beautiful soul! I appreciate all my amazing people & even when I move 100 miles away from here - I will always remember the fun, your kindness & loyalty 💙
