Probably the most mind-blowing fact that both Chloe & Jen have come across so far on their research into perimenopause, is that strength training has just about the biggest positive impact on perimenopausal woman and her symptoms. We both love strength training and have been doing it for years and we are absolutely thrilled that something we enjoy so much…
It has been reported that perimenopause can be responsible for about 100 different symptoms and can often make a woman feel like she is going completely mad… and getting the right support system in place is vital to navigate what can be very choppy waters and come out the other side feeling safe from the journey. The following symptoms can…
At the end of last month, I touched briefly on the subject of perimenopause, and I would like to revisit the subject for February’s blogs and how it can impact a woman’s musculoskeletal health and how sports massage can help with those symptoms. This is very relevant reading for both men and women. You might remember that I said that…
Jen and I have been having a lot of conversations lately around Perimenopause and Menopause, primarily because we have both started to experience some of the myriad of symptoms that can be experienced during perimenopause.

Another fun little thing Jen and I picked up at the Therapy Expo in November last year, were some Rockpods and Rock Glides, which we have now studied and are happy to use within the treatment time with you to provide an extra element to your injury recovery.

The tools in question are called Wavestones and they are made from White Jade. They are heated gently in…
Happy New Year! Welcome to 2024… and the beginning of the fifth year I have been writing these blogs, and the fifth year some of you have been reading them and I am already wondering, maybe like you, what changes have you made from reading them and if you haven’t quite reached that point of making changes, whether this year…
Remember at the start of December when I said that sometimes you might wake up in the morning and moving might trigger you to hurt a bit, but then moving was the exact solution to that pain? What an oxymoron that is! Let me explain. Sleeping is a period of resting and repair for your body, and you wake up…
Your body is a miracle of biomechanical evolution. It has 206 bones and over 600 muscles! Six… HUNDRED… muscles. Wow. Think about how much your body has had to go through to become the wonderful human you are, and you deserve to be as happy and healthy as possible. One of the quickest ways to be healthy, other than nutrition,…
Your body wants to move. You have a deep psychological and physiological need to move. If you are able to move your body in any way at all, then you absolutely should. Not everyone enjoys exercising or going to the gym to do said exercise, and that is ok. You do not need to go to the gym to have…
