Has your C-section birth left you feeling traumatised? If so, we have some invaluable advice in this guest post by Perinatal Trauma Practitioner and founder of Birth Trauma Resolution Brighton, Tracy Law.

My C-section births have certainly inspired my massage work and are the reason I'm so passionate about helping other women with their birth recoveries. Read my positive birth experiences in this latest blog.

Guest post from Lucy Pinto of The Box Brighton. If you're wondering 'How long until I can return to weight training?’ after birth, particularly if you've had a C-section then this is for you!

Tips for a better recovery after a C-section. These are things I wish I’d known before having a caesarean - hopefully you’ll benefit from my experiences and be better prepared for your own birth.

Knee, hip and back pain, as well as many other types of aches and pains can be traced back to the foot but they are often overlooked as the culprit. Here’s why you need to take better care of your feet.

In this guest blog Dr Jenna Macciochi discusses the latest BBC episode which looks at the immune system and discusses how massage can improve its function, as well as your overall well being.

We’re delighted to tell you that we can legally and safely treat your soft tissue needs during the UK lockdown 2.0. See restrictions and therapist availability here.

With Covid restrictions tightening and changing, I wanted to update you on our policies and practices to reassure you that our clinic space is clean and safe and that your health and safety is our number one priority.

Sore muscles? Shooting pain? Back problems can happen to the best of us and sometimes what we think is the right answer, can actually be the worst. See my top tips to help that achy back.

Massage is often seen as a luxury, but studies have demonstrated it to be effective at relieving a number of common pregnancy complaints as well as helping to prepare you for birth. 

Online massage therapy may sound a bit odd - how can 'massage therapy' work online? - but these sessions can be just as worthwhile as a hands-on massage treatment, get you feeling better in yourself and get you on the road to recovery post-birth or post-op.

The road to physical recovery and fitness often involves a host of occupations, including but not limited to massage. To ensure you always get the best treatments, and that we are working in tandem with any other fitness sessions you have, we are proud to work with and recommend the specialist below.

Although I'm not yet able to provide face to face massage, I wanted to update you on the recommendations I am preparing to implement once I get the go-ahead that it is safe. This advice comes from the Council of Soft Tissue Therapists as outlined via my governing body, the SMA - Sports Massage Association.

Widely based on western medicine, Medical Acupuncture or Dry Needling is typically used for pain management and sports rehabilitation. Fine needles are inserted through the skin into areas of tension or pain (trigger points) and briefly left in position. The number of needles used is different for each client (depending on their individual case) but sometimes is as few as two.

As a new Mum, you may be keen to get back to some form of exercise or begin a new regime entirely. This is possible but your body has experienced massive changes during pregnancy, labour and birth, and so it needs adequate time to rest, recover and heal.

If you've had a treatment with me you'll know I'm a big fan of my massage tools and use them in pretty much every treatment. IASTM stands for Instrument Aided Soft Tissue Manipulation, and may also be called ASTYM or Graston. IASTM is a manual therapy approach to musculoskeletal injuries using specifically designed tools. It’s basically a tool to help me get to the issue and work it better.
