On Valentine’s Day this year the BBC launched its Loneliness experiment, which involved a survey of 55,000 people across the world. The survey found that loneliness, to those experiencing it, involved feelings of emptiness and of being disconnected.
Interestingly, only 1/3 of respondents thought that loneliness involved being alone. Somewhat surprisingly the age group with the most people feeling lonely
There are many misconceptions about Pilates.
Many say it is only for dancers, or you have to be a really flexible, fit and coordinated girl to be suited to Pilates. Perhaps this comes from the fact that Pilates was a preferred method of rehabilitation for the New York Ballet, back in the 1930ies, when Pilates was still being developed. Hence
In my previous blog, I mentioned that I got injured, which subsequently sparked my interest in becoming a Sports Massage Therapist. I thought I would indulge you and expand on exactly how this came about and the little journey it led me on.
I was doing a HIIT class (high-intensity interval training) where we were made to do repeated single

So I decided to try and explain something that I get asked often in the clinic, how does Kinesiology tape work? Well, hopefully and questions are answered in this video. If not, please feel free to email or call in and ask, I’d be happy to discuss.
When does Hypermobility become a Problem?

Basically I spend 3 hours on a massage couch: the therapist holds a point, much like a Reflexology point for the 3 hours, the point heats up, eventually, it cools down and then it pulses.

A book written by psychologist Frank Tallis, writing in a style similar to that which Irvin Yalom uses in ‘Love’s Executioner’, does, however, address this topic. In ‘The Incurable Romantic and other unsettling revelations’, Tallis points out that whilst lovesick individuals may hope for sympathy
