San Francisco, you’ve been amazing! 🌉☀️🇺🇸

What a fantastic first stop on our California adventure! From the giant redwoods of Muir Woods to the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, cable cars, Japanese Tea Garden, Lombard Street and exploring the city’s famous hills and waterfront. We’ve walked miles, eaten some amazing food and loved every minute! 😍

Even better to share some of it with our lovely American friends Jess and Leigh! 🥰

Next stop… four nights in Napa Valley! 🍷🥂

Back running! 🏃‍♂️🙌

A few weeks ago I posted about having to take some time away from running with plantar fasciitis.

For someone who loves running, that was probably the hardest part — not being able to just put my trainers on and head out.

I’ve stuck with the rehab, kept active with the gym, and things have gradually started moving in the right direction.

And on Saturday I finally got back out there. 5.73km along the Whitstable coast with Gavin. 💙

I’m definitely not at 100% yet, and I’m not going to rush it, but it felt so good to be running again.

It’s also been a useful reminder for me — recovery isn’t always a straight line. Sometimes you have to adapt, do the boring rehab work and give your body a bit of time.

But this felt like a pretty big little win. 🙌

One step closer. 🏃‍♂️

That tight spot keeps coming back? 👀

You stretch it. It feels better. Then a few days later… there it is again. Sometimes it’s worth looking beyond the tight spot itself. Running, gym sessions, long days sitting down, changes in training and simply not getting enough recovery can all affect how your body feels and moves.

Massage isn’t just something you need when you’re injured. It can also be a useful part of looking after your body, easing muscular tension and helping you keep doing the things you enjoy. 🙌

Does your body feel like it’s asking for a bit of attention? 👀

You don’t have to be injured to benefit from massage.

Maybe that same area keeps tightening up, you’re taking longer to recover after training, or you’ve simply noticed that you’re not moving quite as freely as usual.
Sometimes a little maintenance and recovery can help you keep doing the things you enjoy. 🙌

I work with runners, gym-goers and active people, as well as anyone who simply wants to move and feel better.

Not every massage needs to be the same 🙌

One of the things I enjoy about my work is that no two people come into the treatment room wanting exactly the same thing.

You might be a runner with tight calves, a gym-goer with tired muscles, have a particular area that's been bothering you — or you might simply want an hour to switch off and relax.

That's why I tailor each treatment to you.
💪 Sports & Deep Tissue Massage
More targeted work for tight, tired or troublesome muscles.
🌿 Relax & Recover Massage
A gentler treatment when you want to unwind, ease muscular tension and take some time out.

And sometimes what you need is somewhere in between — that's absolutely fine too.

Not sure which to book? Just drop me a message and I'm always happy to help.

Your treatment is tailored to you, whether you prefer a lighter, relaxing massage or something a little firmer.

What should you expect after a sports massage?

It’s something I’m often asked, particularly by people coming for their first treatment.

Everyone responds a little differently. You may feel looser and more comfortable straight away, while some people notice a little temporary tenderness or heaviness in the areas we’ve worked on.

I’ll always talk you through what we’ve found during your appointment and, where appropriate, suggest simple things you can do afterwards — whether that’s movement, mobility work, adjusting your training or simply giving an area a little time to recover.

And no, having a sports massage doesn’t necessarily mean you need to stop training afterwards. It depends on the treatment, what we’ve worked on and what you’re planning to do next.

The aim isn’t to leave you feeling like you’ve been beaten up! 😅 Treatment is always tailored to you, your body and what you need from the session.

A little update from the “Whitwaders” - written by Lindsey Clarke

The last few weeks haven’t quite gone to plan for us, and our Road to London has re-routed north for a bit.Pete is currently resting an injury, while family circumstances have stopped me in my tracks too. My mum is in hospital at the moment, so my brother and I have been sharing round-the-clock ca...

Sports massage can be a slightly misleading name.

You definitely don't need to be an athlete to benefit from it.

When I talk about sports massage in my clinic, I'm really talking about hands-on treatment that's tailored to you, how your body feels and what you want to be able to do.

You might be a runner dealing with tired legs, a gym-goer feeling the effects of training, someone who spends all day at a desk, or simply someone who's feeling stiff, sore or uncomfortable.

Every treatment starts with a chat about what's going on. From there, I'll tailor the treatment to the areas that need attention, using sports and deep tissue massage techniques where appropriate.

And you don't need to wait until something hurts. Treatment can also form part of looking after your body, managing the demands you're putting on it and keeping you doing the things you enjoy.
