Thought provoking story in the news today, obviously my addition is a bit tongue in cheek but I firmly believe sports massage should be part of any fitness plan, not just a way of fixing yourself when you’ve overdone it.

If you’ve had one, I hope your half term was excellent. We sneaked away last week to walk the South West Coast Path from Minehead to Lynmouth. We missed the crowds and as it was pre-heatwave the “sea mist” kept us cool. 😆 ☔️

I’m back up to full speed next week and although there’s plenty of availability at present, I’m expecting another week near capacity.

Next weekend is the Bristol 10K and Half marathon.
I’ve got clients running in both, good luck to you all.
If you’re entering either distance, are you race ready?
Maybe an hour of soft tissue therapy is all you need to beat that personal best.

I’ve got six spaces left (edit: just two now) drop me a message to secure yours 👍

Today marks 10 years since I left Avon Fire and Rescue Service. I loved that career but I’m glad my story didn’t end there.

I’m now in my ninth year as a soft tissue therapist and I’m loving this too.
I searched for a catchy line to sum up my journey and came up with this “When one door closes and another door opens… you’re probably in prison”

Seems like an odd motivational quote but that’s the best google could manage…

Good luck to my client S running the London marathon today. After having her knee kicked by a horse a year ago I genuinely didn’t think she’d make the start line.
A fantastic achievement already, Good luck, you’ve got this!

I’m just getting over a couple of weeks of back ache so thought it was time for a ride in the woods.

Arriving home with a smile on my face, I don’t think I’ve ever got back from a ride feeling worse than when I started.

Movement is (more often than not) our friend. What are you doing today to stay supple and put a smile on your face?

The course wasn’t difficult but getting up after lying in the recovery position was harder than it used to be 😆

February already? Typically the busiest month of the year for me on the massage therapy front.
I’m not 100% sure why but my guess is…
a) Lots of events in the spring and the training and therapy starts to increase.
b) New Year’s resolutions have finally broken folk.
c) Christmas is almost paid for!

Already half full this week so don’t leave it till the last minute.
Options available…
Monday, Closed.
Tuesday, edited now full
Wednesday, 3 spaces
Thursday, 2 spaces
