Mindfulness and Breathwork
Mindfulness and ‘Just Breathe’
How many times have you heard these two terms?!
Mindfulness is a type of meditation. It is the quality of being present and fully engaged with
whatever we’re doing at that given moment, free from distraction or judgment, and aware
of our thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them.
Understanding Your Treatment Plan
Have you ever walked out of a consultation with a Practitioner and not been clear on what just happened or what the next step is? This is not having a treatment plan or not having it clearly explained…. it is frustrating and doesn’t give you confidence in that Practitioner.
The Bendy Body: Strength Training For The Management Of Hypermobility
Hypermobility is the ability to move joints beyond the normal range of motion. This can be present in a few joints (localised hypermobility) or can be more widespread (generalised hypermobility).

Importance Of Exercise During Menopause
Menopause is the time where a women has had longer then 12 months since last her last Period. We consider a woman in Peri-Menopause from the time their cycle starts to change until they are 12 months post their final period.

What To Expect From A Remedial Massage
Remedial massage is one of the most useful and common styles of massage, but what should you expect from a treatment? Remedial massage (sometimes referred to as sports or medical massage), when performed by a qualified remedial massage therapist, can help with a whole host of injuries and ailments.
Massage For Teens
Upkeep of the body is important for all ages but I’d like to put some emphasis on teens, especially those who are taking the sporting field every weekend or those studying hard for high school exams. Taking care of your body at a younger age enforces better habits for the future but also provides longevity in your body’s ability. It’s so important to have a well-functioning body so we can have a clear mind to kick goals and pass exams with ease!
Massage And Scar Tissue
Scar tissue is a natural part of the body’s healing process, forming to replace normal skin after injuries, surgeries or other traumas. However, the resulting scars can often become tight, restrictive, and even painful, impacting not only appearance but also function and movement, potentially negatively affecting nerves, fascia, lymph and muscles. Whether it’s a minor cut or a significant surgical incision, the formation of scar tissue can lead to complications that are more than just skin deep, often serving as a very constant reminder of the original trauma.

We can ensure easier and safer returns to sport, with less worry and distress to our children.
