Nu-Move offers:

Sport Massage: Massage, applied skillfully, is the most effective therapy for releasing muscle tension and restoring balance to the muscular-skeletal system. Received regularly this may help athletes prevent injuries, which might otherwise be caused by overuse. A constant build up of tension in the muscles from regular activity may lead to stresses on joints, ligaments, tendons, a

s well as the muscles themselves. These muscle imbalances may develop and often go undiagnosed until they are serious enough to cause the athlete discomfort or impede performance. A skilled massage therapist will be able to detect variations in the soft tissues and by using the correct techniques, help the sports person maintain a much healthier physical state. Lymph Drainage Massage: Lymphatic drainage massage is a form of gentle massage that encourages the movement of lymph fluids around the body. The fluid in the lymphatic system helps remove waste and toxins from the bodily tissues. Some health conditions can cause lymph fluid to build up. Kinesiology Taping: LB tape is applied over muscles to lessen pain and reduce inflammation. Living Brand taping is a taping technique that assists in the body's own natural healing process. It gives support & stability to a person's joints and muscles without affecting or reducing circulation & range of motion. Reflexology: Reflexology is a type of massage that involves applying different amounts of pressure to the feet, hands and ears. It’s based on the theory that these body parts are connected to certain organs and body systems. Iridology: It is a method whereby the practitioner can tell, from markings or signs in the iris, the reflex condition of various organs and systems of the body. These markings represent a detailed picture of the integrity of the body; its constitutional potentials, areas of congestion or toxic accumulations and inherent challenges and gifts. Life Coaching: A solution focused approach to personal development aimed at helping people make very positive and lasting changes in their lives. People, or 'clients', are encouraged to realize their true potential by following a process that will uncover and eliminate obstructive thinking and behavioral patterns in their lives. Life coaching facilitates this change using tried and trusted tools and techniques to empower clients, in a caring, supportive and inspiring environment. A life coach is there to guide and inspire his or her client to bring about a clearer understanding of their aspirations, goals and life purpose and to effect the necessary changes in their current and future behavior to ensure the realization of those goals and aspirations. With the motivation, support and caring that a good life coach can provide, most people are capable of achieving far more and leading more fulfilling lives than they would if left to their own devices - human nature being what it is.

My Third Cape Town Marathon DNF Broke Me... But It Didn't End Me

Three weeks ago, I stood on the start line of the Cape Town Marathon.

I was nervous.

I was excited.

And deep down, I believed that this was finally going to be the year I finished.

If you've followed my running journey, you'll know that the Cape Town Marathon has become my unfinished business.

Not once.

Not twice.

But now three times.

Three DNFs.

Three attempts that ended before the finish line.

And honestly...

This one hurt the most.

Because physically, I felt ready.

My training wasn't perfect, but I had put in the work.

I had done the long runs.

I had sacrificed weekends.

I had pushed through difficult days.

I genuinely believed I could do it.

The race started well.

I settled into my pace.

I followed my run-walk strategy.

Everything seemed under control.

Then, around 18 kilometres in, something changed.

Not in my legs.

Not in my fitness.

In my mind.

Suddenly, I started feeling anxious.

My heart rate shot up.

I became nauseous.

I started sweating excessively.

My breathing felt wrong.

I felt trapped.

And before I knew it, panic had completely taken over.

If you've never experienced a panic attack, it's difficult to explain.

Your body feels like it's in danger even when it isn't.

Logic disappears.

Your thoughts become overwhelming.

Your heart races.

You feel like something terrible is about to happen.

And that's exactly what happened to me.

Standing there at 18 kilometres, I wasn't thinking about a medal.

I wasn't thinking about a finish time.

I wasn't thinking about all the months of training.

I was simply trying to get through the next minute.

The panic became stronger.

The nausea became worse.

My heart rate was climbing close to levels that genuinely scared me.

And in that moment, I had a choice.

Keep pushing.

Or stop.

I chose to stop.

And I won't lie.

That decision broke me emotionally.

For days afterwards, I questioned everything.

I felt embarrassed.

I felt disappointed.

I felt like I had let myself down.

I replayed every moment over and over in my head.

Maybe I should have pushed harder.

Maybe I should have ignored the panic.

Maybe I should have just kept going.

But after reflecting on it, I realised something important.

A marathon is important.

But my life is more important.

A finisher's medal is nice.

But my health matters more.

A race can always be run again.

My life cannot.

There is no medal worth risking your health for.

There is no finish line worth ignoring serious warning signs from your body.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop.

And that has been one of the hardest lessons for me to accept.

Because as runners, we're taught to push through discomfort.

Push through pain.

Push through doubt.

Never quit.

But there is a difference between quitting and making a responsible decision.

I didn't quit on myself.

I protected myself.

And that's a very different thing.

This marathon taught me something that I didn't want to learn.

Success isn't always crossing the finish line.

Sometimes, success is getting home safely.

Sometimes success is listening to your body.

Sometimes success is having the courage to try again after failure.

Because here's the thing.

Despite the disappointment...

Despite the tears...

Despite the frustration...

I'm not done.

I'm not giving up on running.

I'm not giving up on the Cape Town Marathon.

And I'm definitely not giving up on myself.

This setback hurts.

But it doesn't define me.

One race does not define me.

Three DNFs do not define me.

What defines me is what I choose to do next.

And what I choose to do next is keep moving forward.

Maybe slower.

Maybe wiser.

Maybe with a greater focus on my mental health than ever before.

But forward.

Because that's what a comeback is.

It's not winning every time.

It's not avoiding failure.

It's getting back up after failure.

Again and again and again.

So if you're reading this and you've experienced your own DNF in life...

Maybe in running.

Maybe in business.

Maybe financially.

Maybe emotionally.

Maybe in a dream that didn't work out.

I want you to remember this.

Failure is an event.

It is not your identity.

One bad day does not erase years of effort.

One setback does not erase your potential.

And one unfinished race does not mean your story is over.

My Cape Town Marathon story isn't finished yet.

Maybe the finish line is still waiting for me.

Maybe it takes another year.

Maybe longer.

I don't know.

But I do know this.

I'll keep showing up.

I'll keep trying.

I'll keep believing.

Because my comeback story isn't over.

And neither is yours.

If you want to leave a comment and share a setback you've had to overcome.

Let's remind each other that failure is never final.

One step at a time.

POV: You thought the tension headache would disappear on its own… 👀

Between work stress, school runs, gym sessions and life happening at 100km/h, many people walk around carrying constant tension in their neck and shoulders without even realising how much it affects their energy and mood.

A therapeutic massage session can help ease built-up tension and give your nervous system a chance to slow down for a bit. Sometimes your body just needs someone to say, “Hey, jy moet bietjie reset.”

Ever wondered why people feel “lighter” after a lymph drainage session?

Lymph drainage massage helps support the body’s natural lymphatic system — which plays an important role in fluid balance and waste removal. It’s often used to assist with swelling, post-surgery recovery, feelings of heaviness, and general wellness support.

It’s gentle. It’s precise. And no, harder pressure doesn’t mean better results.

Perfect for:
• Post-op recovery
• Water retention
• Tired, heavy legs
• Stress and fatigue support
