On massage duties at the finish of the Devil o’ the Highlands ultra!

Did you run the Glasgow half marathon, 10k, London Marathon or Loch Ness marathon at the weekend? If you feel you need to find your running legs again, then a sports massage could just do the trick! Message me to book in for an appointment!

Sometimes I find it hard to motivate myself to go out, even if it’s just for a walk. I look for excuses (the weather’s grim, too tired, busy at work etc.) but I always find that if I get myself outside I feel the better for it (mostly) 😊

Finding it difficult to motivate yourself? Lots of good tips here, we like….
🔺 Make it fun
🔺 Increase gradually
🔺 Doing something is better than nothing

With the Spring marathon season just around the corner and training starting to intensify, now is a good time to build regular sport massage in to your routine. Here are some of the benefits:

Yet another interesting read from MSK NHS Ayrshire & Arran.

✋What causes osteoarthritis (OA) in the hand / wrist / thumb?
It isn’t always clear but there are a number of factors that can play a role in developing OA of the hand, wrist and/or thumb, including:
* Age: OA is more common with increasing age. This is due to the natural wear and tear process and a reduction in the body’s ability to repair as you get older.
* Genetics: There is thought to be a link to inheriting OA.
* Gender: Women are more likely to develop OA than men.
* Previous injury: If you have had previous trauma or injury to your wrist thumb or a small joint in your hand this may contribute to OA.
* Care of the joint: Without periods of rest or looking after your joint(s) this can contribute to a flare up of your pain.

This is a really interesting read for anyone who has ever suffered from a sprained ankle!

Lateral ligament ankle sprains are a common injury of the ankle.

Meniscal tears are common, and surgery to treat meniscal tears is one of the most frequently performed orthopaedic procedures.

Recent evidence has challenged surgery as the first line of treatment for meniscal tears in patients aged 40 years or older, with exercise therapy emerging as a valid treatment alternative.

I'm back 😁😁. After an enforced break from remedial and sports massage thanks to this virus I am now back treating lovely clients 😁😁 I had my first client in this evening with a calf strain from running 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ It feels good to be back doing something that I love 💙💙

Now that we can resume massage therapy I'm available in the evenings for appointments 😁👍

It's been a crazy year for us all and hopefully this is now a return to some sort of normality 🤞🤞

If you feel you need to take the stress out of those muscles or even just need a half hour leg loosener, please get in touch.

Hello everyone! Just a quick message from me to say that I'm still here, although not back treating yet and won't be until I feel confident enough that it's safe for me, my clients and my family. What a year 2020 has been. I really do miss treating my clients and making a difference to how you all feel. Having spent over 2 years studying, living and breathing remedial and sports massage therapy I'm not going to let covid destroy what I have worked so hard for. In the meantime I hope that you all stay safe, fit and healthy and in the words of the great Arnie, "I'll be back" 😊😊💪💪
