There’s a fantastic comparison for modern day life which is ‘Excellence vs Striving’. The thought of striving is to work hard and finding the rhythm to perform at a high level,
but it also portrays one where you are straining and really working to accomplish your targets and goals. On the other hand, excellence is where you do the best you possible can in a given moment. It’s the best you had to offer at the time which is all anyone can ever ask of you. This doesn’t make excellence the easier route though by any means, but Striving and Excellence do work hand in hand. If you strive and strive without any rest, you are likely to burn out. If you strive and work hard but team that up with excellent technique and self-care, which puts you in a pretty good state to take on the world!
Having a job where you have to sit for long hours or travel on long haul flights on a cramped plane, is often a cause we hear when trying to help clients with muscles tension, aches and musculoskeletal pains. Our muscles stiffen up and the blood doesn’t flow as it should. We usually can’t change the circumstances that cause the above, but we can manage how to cope when the excessive tension becomes uncomfortable. Using a massage release ball is a great short-term solution, because you can always have it at hand.
You can do the massage yourself practically everywhere. It will improve circulation and help loosen up the muscles, so it is worth holding on to one. Here are some examples of exercises that you can do:

Do you struggle with a back problem?
Many of our clients come to see us because of a low back pain or stiffness. Regular massage can help to ease up the stiffness and bring a pain relief. However, in order to keep the back strong and healthy outside of the treatment room, our in-house physiotherapist, Bozena, has prepared a list of advice on how to prevent back pain and what exercises can be done at home to manage existing conditions.
Rowing is a physically demanding sport, placing the body under a lot of strain and endurance. The entire body is involved in propelling the rowing boat through the water course. In rowing, the muscles are constantly subjected to a powerful and locomotive effort. Serious competitors need to maintain elasticity and balance between the lower and upper body to function at their best and avoid injury. Sports massage is designed to specifically help athletes and rowers to recover faster from workouts, prevent injuries and aid their performance.
