So, just to get right into it... I had a client in who is an experienced Marathon distance runner, anything to do with running lore, and this man has seen it, done it, got the T shirt, club tie, medal and sweatband...

In conversation he asked me if I had recently run the Ladies 10K in our fair city of Glasgow, and I said that I hadn't because I had been suffering from knee pain, and that during a run my knee was seizing up.. the conversation went thus

As a busy massage therapist based at The Glasgow Treatment Rooms, I can meet clients who wish to tackle anything from acute pain, to how to just de-stress and relax, as well as improve their posture.

A question I am often asked also is ‘What’s the best type of exercise to do?’, my answer is always ‘Whatever you are willing to do that you enjoy!’

This is my take on the Sirt food diet, a book by Aiden Goggins and Glen Matten.

It was first brought to my attention by a client when it featured in the Good Housekeeping magazine, and then by a fellow colleague Jane Black.  I consider myself to be fairly fit, and I thought I had a good diet but in the last few months have been really bothered by bloating after eating, despite avoiding gluten in my diet, and cutting down on dairy.

Something that we all hear a lot of in January is.... 'So, what are your New Year Resolutions?' and to be honest? Whatever.  Why give yourself destination syndrome of 'when I do this, get that, weight this, do that, I'll be happy/happier'

So, this is what I thought I knew for sure. I thought I was drinking at least 2 litres of water a day.  Eh Nope.  More like just over 1 litre if I'm lucky! I have been doing a lot of reading into water retention and dehydration, and my big heads up was that if you are dehydrated, your body will hang onto all the water that it can with a vengeance.

I had a really great conversation today with a fabulous woman called Katrina Mather.  Katrina owns and runs a retreat called The Body Toolkit, and it does what it says on the tin.  Anything to do with your wellness, Katrina has sound advice to hand and what can only be described as good old fashioned common sense when it comes to looking after yourself.

October is all about being kind to yourself I feel. We are about to go through a season change, clocks go back at the end of the month, a wee chill in the air, time to get cooried doon and think about how to look after ourselves in the winter months so that we emerge next spring like John Travolta at a dance class. Ding dong.

Online Booking means, not having to wait for a phone call back from me!  You can make an appointment with me, in your own time, at the time that is convenient for you.

I get asked quite regularly for advice about posture, particularly if sitting at a desk all day. I'll try to keep this brief! (This is my take on it)
