10/10 Coach dedication! 🔥👏Had the pleasure of having in today getting close on Prep with _.rhino took the time to come to his session with me today, and work with me to get the best for his client.

I've been lucky to work closely with Louis ._.rhino for the last 6 years and watch him grow his business to a resounding success, repeatedly helping his wide variety of clients to achieve their goals.

Louis and I communicate for clients' treatment and considerations for best coordinated effect for the client.
He has consistently gone above and beyond for his clients over the years I've known him, in a way that I don't see very often.
The investment he has, the drive he brings, for his clients is really exceptional.
I'm grateful and proud to do great work with him.

Does your coach show up for you like this?

Wishing all the best luck with his upcoming comp, we're rooting for you mate. Amazing discipline and consistency 🙌

Reminder, anyone training with gets the discount rate, still (£10 off)

Thanks to Louis for the service he provides and for working with me the last few years!🙏❤️💪

Exciting news! After hearing so many positive things about I popped down to attend the talk on psychology in combat sports. I've been nothing but impressed with what they have achieved.

The consideration, hard work, experience, and high standard shines in the members there and in the community they have created.

So, I'm happy to extend my discount rate to members there (that's £10 off!)
I hope to see some more of you soon!

We have some really great small businesses in Southampton! ❤️

Bruising: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
Cupping and IASTM are popular treatments for muscle pain and soreness. However, it's important to be aware that there is such a thing as too much bruising.

Bruising Basics: Bruising (Ecchymosis) occurs when blood vessels beneath the skin are ruptured. This can happen with any type of massage, but techniques like cupping and IASTM, which often involve deeper pressure and suction, have a higher risk.
This deeper work is for breaking down scar tissue and not for regular maintenance sessions.
When bruising occurs, it should be limited to a small area of the body - it is ruptured blood vessels after all.

😇 THE GOOD:
Some discolouration is expected, especially after deeper work. This usually fades within a week or two.
   * This is because the suction or scraping action can break small blood vessels under the skin.
   * This type of bruising is usually not painful and will fade within a few days.

🤠 THE BAD:
   * Moderate bruising can be a sign that the treatment was too aggressive.
   * This type of bruising may be painful and can take longer to heal.

🤬 THE UGLY:
  Excessive bruising: Large, widespread bruises, or bruises that take significantly longer to heal (more than 2 weeks) can be a cause for concern.
This type of bruising can be painful and can lead to serious complications, such as skin infections or nerve damage.
When to Raise Concerns:
* Intense, prolonged pain: Bruising should not cause severe or lasting discomfort.
* Unexplained fever or chills: These could indicate an infection.
* Numbness or tingling: These are potential signs of nerve damage.

Personally:
After 15 years, I can count the times I've knowingly bruised people, on one hand, including my training courses.
I do not practice or receive cupping. Until there are studies to change my mind, I will stay with my experience of it and my understanding of anatomy.
IASTM/Gua Sha/Graston (Scraping) is something I don't practice, but do receive in rare instances. If performed by a qualified and insured practitioner as an add-on to a main modality with solid anatomy knowledge, eg Chiropractor/Osteo/Physio etc.

I will no longer be working out of Spartans Gym.
Why: The room is too small. (I've made it work for the last 2 years but I'm genuinely making holes in the wall to work in there!)

There's no drama or gossip, that's it. I'm leaving on good terms.

Big thanks to all that helped me at Spartans, I really appreciate and remember everything. Of course, thanks to Dean!!

I have had a lot of fun working with everyone there, I feel I've made some good friendships there.
I have done my best to look after the members there and have been as generous as I can.
I leave with the best wishes to the gym and the members.

It's been 5 years to the month that I've been there, thank you to all! ❤️💪🙏

I will make a post when I'm moved into the new place, after next week (open on the week beginning 14th).
It will be in the Roxan Business Center on Lodge Rd next to The Travelodge. There will be a designated customer parking space, waiting area, toilets, and a lot more space to work. It will be a lot easier to get to for a lot of you.
Look forward to seeing you there soon!

Another brilliant course with by top quality as standard! I think its a year since I did Level 1 and have been really looking forward to get around to Level 2 since.

Met some great people, delighted to catch up with again 😁👋 great to see them going from strength to strength.
Highly recommend these courses to all 👌

It's annoying but I have to do it, I'm losing £50-£120 per week, if I took that from your weekly wages you would properly kick the f**% off wouldn't you?

So here we are.

Some insurance and work schemes will pay in full, or in part, for your massage if your practitioner is a member of regulating bodies like FHT.
I've joined FHT by request to help to that end 🫡

Certificates dump:
Newbie to Phlebotomy, insurance will be covered next week.

Physio-network, slowly chipping away at their offerings, very helpful and recommended. (Certificate listed on my website if you're interested.

This year: More practical courses, rest of physio-network, some biodynamics, and revision.
Let me know if you want me to look at anything 👀

Best wishes for 2024❤️

Certificate dump:
Newbie to Phlebotomy, just waiting on insurance.

A few physionetwork courses, I'm slowly getting through all their offerings, very good and recommended. (I have cerificates listed on my website if you're interested)

This year, more in practical courses, and I'll chip away at the rest of physionetwork, and my money 💰 🙃

Best wishes to all for 2024 ❤️
