A common question I get asked about a Sports Massage. Swipe for some reasons why you might need one!

Changing shoes as often as the weather changes in Scotland!? 👟🥿👠👞🥾🩰🎿🩴

Think of how your feet feel, small changes can cause issues all over your body.

A simple assessment can help identify problematic areas and prevent further injury. Message me to book a detailed assessment!

So many people ask why a sports massage!? There’s so many benefits to every type of massages but here are some of the reasons you might need or want a sports massage.

An in depth look at your muscles, posture and joints might be just what you need. Whether it’s an ongoing injury, chronic pain, aches, general pains or stress and anxiety.

🎄Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄I hope you all have an amazing Christmas and New Year! A big thank you to everyone that’s supported me and my business throughout the year 🥰 I do have the best clients 🤗 Roll on 2022!! ❤️

Please if you haven’t messaged to book text as soon as you can to get an appointment arranged!

Finally a provisional date is set! Fingers crossed this is it! 26th April is when I should be able to get back to work from the house.

You’ve all been so patient and I really appreciate the continued support from you!Also can’t wait to see everyone. L x

Treatment depends on the injury!🤕

My first recommendation would be to get a treatment and sports massage from me 🤣 and then follow my aftercare advice but since that can’t happen here’s some advice.

There is a vast amount of studies for different remedies and myths used to help you recover from an injury, from exercise or from general muscle pain. 💪🏼

My advice - Listen to your body! If one of them feels wrong or making things worse then stop and either seek advice or try another remedy. None of these are guaranteed to help every injury or the same injury on two people. You need to find the right remedy for you.

Personally I use a combination of heat and ice therapy then I try to stretch 3-4 times a week with yoga and a foam roller.

Protect - Compress, Sleeve, Elasticated bandage, Immobilisation

Optimal Loading - Body Weight, Resistance Bands, Crutches, Weights

Heat - Wheat bag, Hot Water Bottle, Heat Pads, Hot Shower/Bath

Ice - Cold compress, Ice Water Bottle, Ice Pack, Cold Shower/Bath, Sea Swim

People with heart or lung problems should avoid any of these that can change their body temperature rapidly.
