Whilst I was finishing my massage training at the end of 2021 and during the first 6 months of starting my business, I worked on the bank team as a support worker for adults with learning disabilities living in residential care homes.

After I completed my massage training I began to provide massages in the care homes for some of the residents and have seen first hand the effects that massage can have on people with disabilities.

Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fibre and muscle in place. It gives the body its structure (along with the skeleton) and has nerves that make it almost as sensitive as skin. Simply put, it's like internal clingfilm.

One thing I encounter time and time again as a Sports Massage Therapist, is people saying to me that they didn’t think Sports Massage was the right treatment for them. Either they don’t practise enough (if any) sport, or that Sports Massage has connotations with painful treatments that aren’t conducive to relaxation.
