LJP Sports Therapy

After having recently found a “dodgy mole” on myself (no panic, everything was fine), it got me thinking that I’m in a very privileged and unique position seeing you regularly that it gives me the opportunity to observe changes in your skin and that I get to see areas on your body that you most probably don’t. So after a little research, I came across this course on Melanoma and Skin Cancer. The irony is not lost on me when I enjoy spending so much time in the sun myself! This will in no way make me an expert on the topic, but if it helps detect something in the early stages that helps just one of you, it will be worth it. Always learning, always striving to be better!

After a weeks holiday, I am back! Rested, recharged and ready to get back to work. All messages sent over the last week will be replied to by the end of today.
Some general housekeeping…
🔸 Please give 12 hrs+ notice to cancel or rearrange your appointment. Anything less than this will need to be paid for in full.
🔸 Please make payment before you leave the appointment. There has been a recent increase in me having to chase clients for payment which makes me feel really awkward!
🔸 If you arrive early, please wait in your car until your appointment time. If I can see you early I will come out and get you.
🔸 For new clients, please ensure your pre consultation for is sent back at least the day before your appointment. This gives me time to prepare and means you get the most out of your appointment.
🔸 There will be a small price increase of £5.00 from 1st July. Any bookings for July and onwards currently in the diary will be honoured at the current price.
Thank you all for keeping me so busy. It means a huge amount that you support me and my small business 🧡

What a day! UK & Irelands Natural Strongman complete 😁 With only a short training block, I didn’t have high expectations going in. Some of the events were right at my top end, some even higher but I knew that would keep the drive hard for the training. Some events went as expected, a banker event was a disaster and one that I was dreading the most went brilliantly! 🤣 Heading home with a 7th place finish overall. Now time to rest, recover and catch up on some Easter eggs I missed out on last weekend!

Out this morning supporting our clients and the other Yeovil half marathoners and 10k-ers. Great job everyone! Now time to rest, recover and refuel

Whether you’re recovering, prepping for an event or just needing time to yourself and some care, I’m here to help you.

The main problem I see with injuries is that when rehab has been prescribed, it’s not progressed far enough. Often rehab exercises start with the very basics to start to restore joint/muscle range of motion and reduce pain. Once that pain has gone, we think we are “fixed” and then go straight back to our normal activity. Sometimes this will be fine, however the risk of re-injury is high. Often what is missed is progressing that to build strength, resilience and make that area stronger than it was pre injury. Being pain free is just be the beginning!

There was a fine line between committed and stupid this morning….🤣 The rain made this mornings run tough to even get out the door. The first time getting back into running when I haven’t wanted to go but convinced Gareth to cycle alongside me because it would be good for him too! 😜 Double bonus….managed to tick off my little goal of hitting 10k before my 40th six weeks early!

Struggling with pain, discomfort or tightness? Whether it’s from your job, hobby, o life’s stresses, some time spent here could make all the difference! Make time for yourself, relax and unwind with a massage to target those problem areas. Drop me a message to book in!

You wouldn’t ignore warning lights on your car so why do we do it with our bodies? That ni**le in your shoulder when you play tennis, that tight hamstring after each game of football, that aching back after a weekend gardening? All signs our body gives us that something isn’t happy. These are all things I can help you with. Drop me a message to get yourself booked in and let’s see if we can get you moving a bit easier.

Are you running one of the events this year? As your event gets closer, the miles will gradually be creeping up. Just as important as increasing the mileage in your legs is the recovery - that’s where I come in! Drop me a message to get booked in
