Sports Massage with Hot Stones - now available!
Combining the benefits of therapeutic sports massage with the deeply relaxing effects of hot stone massage - this treatment releases stress and tension in the body. The heat of the basalt stones encourages the muscles to release quicker than traditional massage and is particularly beneficial for muscular aches and pains, insomnia, back pain, stress, tension and depression.

"I came to your practice after having ACL knee reconstruction, and the team designed a comprehensive rehabilitation programme for me. I felt really looked after and they understood my worries over my ability to reach my personal goals following the surgery. The programme proved immensely succesful. To have that kind of support and back-up was amazing and it enabled me to achieve my true potential. I have to say a massive thank you to everyone for all the support - there is a real personal approach."

4. Drink plenty of water: Even mild dehydration will slow one’s metabolism by as much as 3%. Lack of water is the #1 trigger of day time fatigue. Research from Simon Hartley at sense uk indicates that 8-10 glasses of water per day could significantly reduce back and join pain in 80% of sufferers. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math’s and difficulty focusing on a computer screen or a printed document.
Are you drinking the amount of water you should everyday? As a rule of thumb- drink half your weight (measured in lbs) in ounces of water per day. If you workout 3 plus times a week or during the summer months add another 24 plus ounces to that number. Additionally, caffeine and alcohol dehydrate the body; you would need to drink twice the amount of water as you did coffee, coke, tea or alcohol to replace the lost water.

2.Fat is burned in muscle: If you have spent the last year doing long cardio workout in a bid to lose weight I am sorry for what I am about to tell you. The only way to lose fat is to increase your muscle. FACT. Fat is burned in one place, in your muscle. (Don’t worry ladies this does not mean you will stack on muscle if you use weights, it is testosterone that builds bulk a substance of which your body has very little). This simply means resistance training is the best way to burn fat. The large compound movements that require the most muscle are most effective here, try squats, deadlifts, lunges, press ups, seated row, lat pulldown. Ask an instructor if you are unsure of technique. Better still hire a personal trainer.
