Roberta Rose Massage

Blown away by this latest review, and to everyone who has taken the time to write about their session with me. Over 50 5 star reviews on my Google business page. Thank you 🙏🏻

All set for my first client of 3 today.

In order to keep my business sustainable i see a maximum of 4 clients a day (but usually 3).
Part of the reason clients come back to see me, i believe, is my thorough approach and high standards of client care.

June is full but ive just opened up my diary for Mon 29th June - if you've been struggling to get a June session.

Thanks 💫

I have an appointment come available on Monday on an otherwise fully booked June. Let me know if its for you 🙏🏻💫🙌

Module 4 Seasonal yoga teacher training.
Only just getting round to posting about it and module 5 is just around the corner!

What a year this is turning out to be.

Transformational.

This month ive reintroduced neti pot and oil pulling to my daily practices. Yogic practices for health that i used to do some time ago but fell by the way side.

The season of early Summer - the season of all things connection; to self, to others, connected tissues, interconnectedness in time and space. Space being the element of the season; our place in time and space, space to show up, taking up space. Vastness of...

Anatomically it was the study of the foot and ankle. Discussions around understanding the mind, breathwork, meditation, head stands and yoga nidras.

The class is really finding its stride now. Loving it.
Bring on module 5 this weekend 🙏🏻💫💛

Yesterday i did 5 hours of painting.

Yesterday evening my right hand, forearm and shoulder already felt sore from gripping the paint brush and roller.

Although my arms and hands are strong from the work i do, this was a repetitive strain sore from over use of the flexors and shoulder in a way my body is not used to.

Heres what i did last night to help ease it and this morning its 'no too bad' as they say here in Glasgow.

Took a magnesium salt bath to ease the muscles.

Did some self massage of hand, forearm and shoulder.

Used counter stretches working with the wrist; stretching the extensors of the forearm and fingers.

Rotated /spiraled arms gently and slowly to help unwind fascia and connective tissues in the shoulder and entire arm.

I often see clients with repetitive strain injuries so i wanted to share some of the ways i like to support my body after a hard day.

I also feel a great sense of achievment having accomplished something i have never done before 🙏🏻

Client feedback is essential to the overall experience. I encourage clients to let me know if anything needs to be changed throughout the treatment. Often times pressure tolerances change when moving around the body.

✅ A therapist can palpate tissue, assess tone, observe movement and adapt their touch.
But they cannot feel your tenderness for you.

Tenderness, discomfort, pressure and familiar symptoms are part of the client’s experience. That means communication is not optional, it is central to safe, skilled and professional massage.
