MSK Therapy and Sports Injury Clinic

Hello Octoberrrrr 🍂👻🎃

October is looking to be a very busy month ahead and we're looking forward to it.

All of the team will be on annual leave at some point in October, and with the Rogue Invitation returning to town, there will be very limited availability week commencing 19th October.

A reminder that Jayne's clinic hours have now changed and she is no longer working Thursday evenings, she is still offering Tuesday & Wednesday evenings, as well as Monday, Thursday & Friday daytimes - booking in advance is recommended as evenings do fill up fast!

How to book an appointment at MSK Therapy & Sports Injury Clinic...

It's as easy as that!

You will receive a confirmation email of your booking, please check the details and get in touch if any changes are required.

Sports massage & soft tissue therapy isn't just a massage...

It includes a detailed consultation, assessment and a devised treatment plan. Sports massage techniques are used alongside other treatment modalities including stretching, Kinesiology taping, medical acupuncture and in some cases osteopathic manipulation and articulation.

Post-treatment aftercare often includes stretches and exercises to do at home or the gym between appointments.

We've got a few changes happening over the next few weeks in the clinic.

First up, my clinic hours will be changing and I will now be working Thursday daytimes instead of Thursday evenings.

I will still be offering evening appointments on Tuesday and Wednesdays, however these do tend to book up quickly, so recommend booking in advance to secure your regular slot.

These changes will be starting on 1st October.

All appointments can be booked online here: www.msktherapyandsportsinjury.co.uk/book

Where are we based?

You can find MSK Therapy & Sports Injury Clinic at the Balmoral Hub, just off the AWPR at Charleston. The Balmoral hub is located behind Volvo & Audi and is a shared office building.

There is parking onsite and it is just 5 minutes walk from the nearest bus stop.

Whats the difference between SPORTS MASSAGE and PHYSIOTHERAPY?

There's some crossover within the professions but there's also limitations to the services we can provide.

At MSK, we work closely with a number of physiotherapists within the city and if what you are presenting with is beyond our scope of practice, we may refer you on to a Physiotherapist. If you're unsure about what service you need, get in touch.

What a weekend! Awesome vibes this weekend P&J Live Aberdeen. Not only is it great to have more events in Aberdeen, my favourite part of the weekend wasn’t the finish line. It was bumping into so many of you within the fitness industry in & around Aberdeen.

To see so many familiar faces, clients, and friends all supporting and cheering for each other is what Aberdeen is all about!

Thank you so much for all the words of encouragement and support in the arena today! My cup is well and truly full 💙

I hope you all had an amazing time The Gauntlet, see you in clinic for your post event massage and gauntlet debrief 😜

We've got a few new followers around here, so we thought it was best to remind you of what we offer at MSK Therapy & Sports Injury Clinic.

You don’t think I know ball… oh, I know ball.

Long post incoming, grab a cuppa 🥲

It’s been 50 weeks since I had a very nasty ankle injury, that’s taken almost a full year of rehab to get back to a start line. Even though I took part, HYROX Birmingham & London weren’t meant to be at the end of last year. I withdrew from Glamis Wild Hybrid in March as I wasn’t ready, but I didn’t think it would be another 5 months after that until I’d be back on a start line.

With only having ran not much more than 5k, the plan was to forget about a time and walk/run the 5k trail at the end.

I swear the universe is trying to tell me something as 6 days out, I sprained my ‘good’ ankle 😬🤦🏼‍♀️ - swipe to the end to see the extent of it.

As we’d signed up to volunteer for the day, the plan was to just show up, have fun, get taped up and go with the flow. Take each 1km loop at a time and see how the ankles felt…

The first lap and lunges felt good, the second kilometre and d-ball over the shoulder moved well, so well that we decided to do an extra rep of the sled push and pull after the third lap. 4th lap into devils press felt great and the only thing between the 5km trail and us was the unbroken wall ball patch that I wanted… 5km down, unbroken wall balls and a 5km trail run that soon became a victory lap.

A mix of running and walking split up the trail and as I’m sure you can tell, crossing that line meant so much more than just crossing the finish line of Wild Hybrid, it felt like a win in every step. Although almost 10 mins slower than last years event, the goal wasnt a time, it was about having fun and seeing what the ankles could do. Thankfully, last weeks ankle sprain is nothing compared to the previous year and I can continue to build up the running again…

When you focus on finish lines and not finish times, it’s amazing how much fun you can have.
