Just a short blog this time, but one which is very close to my heart. You see, I work in my treatment room every day relieving pain for my clients. I do this for a living. I am so good at it that folks pay me to achieve this for them. I have clients who […]
Over the past 2 weeks I have seen several regular clients who have been on the verge of having problems again – physical aches and pain problems that we have kept at bay for months (years in one case). What struck me as I was listening to them prior to the treatment was that each […]
When I was trained all those years ago, my tutor showed us the traditional approaches to Sports & Deep Tissue massage and yes, they do indeed hurt! For the last 10+ years though I’ve found that I can get better results by NOT hurting clients! So, if you’re keen to get the benefits and the […]
Previously I have written about 5 Tips For Preventing Neck & Shoulder Pain which contains some powerful strategies for lessening and keeping neck and shoulder pain at bay. This time I thought I’d actually say more about how I help clients to resolve their neck and shoulder pain. Upfront I want to say that some […]
Case studies are very useful because it’s sometimes hard to see how massage will actually benefit you from a list of good-sounding things. I have a lady client who had a car accident where the impact was from behind at about 45 mph. She saw the vehicle coming so was tensed up and ready for […]

Following on from the article on tips for preventing neck and shoulder pain, I wanted to say some more about desk ergonomics, since many people spend lots of time sitting at one. Some offices these days provide expensive all-mod-cons office chairs and then leave staff to try to adjust them for themselves, others provide at-your-desk […]
With the cold and wet weather, I start seeing lots of people with upper back, neck and shoulder problems for massage and I believe there are a number of reasons for this. Firstly, cold makes muscles, ligaments and tendons shorter – it’s just physics. Shorter muscles mean that tightness increases and so does discomfort. Secondly, […]
I firmly believe that massage should be a regular part of everyone’s life. Monthly treatments work so well for my clients because they avoid problems developing. I believe it is because massage is so effective at maintaining flexibility in the body. When we are younger, flexibility comes naturally to us because our skin and tissues […]
The soft tissues in the body – muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia – are subject to the same laws of physics as the rest of the world. In the cold, soft tissues shrink, become stiffer and more rigid. This will likely make an existing back or neck pain worse and may even cause a new […]
