We at Adjust Massage have just been offered an opportunity we couldn’t refuse: the chance to expand our business by opening a new clinic in Boost your Body’s personal training studio in Beeston.

Our new clinic will open for business on Saturday 4^th of May but you don’t need to wait until then to book an appointment. You can either call us on 0115 9699926 or book online by selecting the Beeston clinic and your preferred time.

Most of the modern-day population are living with some kind of muscular dysfunction. Years of performing the same actions such as sitting at a desk, driving, standing and using smartphones has had a massive impact on the level of dysfunction in our bodies.  This happens because our bodies are held in the incorrect posture. For example, you might drop one hip when you stand, drive with one arm high up the steering wheel, or sit with your wallet in your back pocket. Or maybe you hang your neck forward to stare down at your phone. Sound familiar?

As a runner, you know the familiar sting of post-workout fatigue, tight muscles and exercise-induced injury. These are common issues that all runners face, all of which can be alleviated with the help of a professional sports massage.

There’s a popular misconception that sports massage is only for the top-tier athletes of the sporting world, and that amateur exercisers can’t benefit from professional massage services. Although originally designed for sportspeople, sports massage has been found to have great benefits for individuals of all skill level and can alleviate a wide variety of tensions, injuries and postural issues!

You enjoy running: crisp mornings alone with your thoughts, plenty of stamina for everything you want to do, a fit, energetic feeling, that runner's high… 

If you're a runner, then you want to be able to keep running, and you'd probably like to improve your performance. Gait analysis can help you stay as active as you want to be and give you the knowledge you need to improve your form and blow past your limitations.

2018 is just getting started, and of course it’s the time of year when many of us are making changes in our habits that we hope will bring us enhanced performance, more energy and better health. Whether you’re starting a new fitness routine, taking up an active hobby, varying your mix of activities, or intensifying your training, biomechanics testing can help.

On January 19th, we’ve got a reflexologist starting with us at Adjust Massage. Her name’s Helen and she’ll be in the clinic on Mondays and Fridays.

When many people picture their ideal life, that life includes a loving partner and children of their own. Sadly, some couples have trouble conceiving when the time is right. It can be an issue with either member of the couple or both, and it is emotionally wrenching.

The turmoil brought on by infertility can create a vicious circle. The mind-body connection is always an important factor in health but here, it is crucial. The stress and sadness brought on by infertility - and conventional treatments - can get in the way of conception. Reflexology may be the catalyst you need to put your fertility struggles behind you and finally get pregnant. It has worked for many other couples.

A few days ago, you had a surprisingly easy time doing something new and athletic, pushing your boundaries. Right afterwards, you felt proud and strong. You told everyone you were on the right track. Now your muscles are screaming and you're thinking 'I'm too old for this!' and 'This is NOT worth it.'

Every active person has experienced DOMS, or Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. DOMS starts a day or two after a challenging workout, and it affects the muscles that you used differently or more intensely than usual. DOMS can strike anyone, from a fitness novice to a seasoned athlete.
