Working next to an open fire is also now a must for all future home visits FYI.

Cool cups with Cal

Ezio & Bryan we’re in need of some upper limb treatment to help with restricted range, acute tendinitis, neck pain and DOMS.

A combination of dry needling, deep tissue massage, PNF stretching and cupping has them back on track for the gains!

Acupuncture and dry needling training underway. Will be offering very soon!

I had goodfella Fergie and coffee mastermind from in the clinic this week, helping him prepare for an upcoming half marathon.

As with many runners the tensor faciae latae (TFL) + and IT band pay the price! I treated that with deep tissue massage and cupping as well as some instrument assisted soft tissue treatment on the soleus.

Responsible for up to 80% of the force from lower limbs (below knee) the soleus takes a lot of impact on regular runners. Especially if you are running on your toes!

Had my first day in scrubs while at the CATH lab at the Golden Jubilee National Hospital today. This is part of my placement experiment.

I got to observe an angiogram where they put die in the coronary arteries to see where a block might be. And an aortic balloon pump where a balloon is inserted to clear a build up of plaque in the aortic arch. Amazing what can be achieved in cardiology!

Sports massage then a burger anyone? Every Thursday

Exams are over! Holidays are over! Time to get back to uni and and most importantly back to the clinic.
