Grit Therapy

Possibly the funniest review ever!!!

😳 “WHAT ARE THOSE MARKS?!”

They can look pretty dramatic, but the marks left after muscle scraping often look far worse than they actually feel.

The red and purple colouring is caused by tiny superficial blood vessels responding to the mechanical pressure and friction created by my scraping tool. This can produce petechiae and some superficial bruising.

💻 This particular client is desk based, so we spent a lot of time working through the upper back, traps and around the shoulder blades.

Hours spent sitting, typing and working at a screen can expose these areas to repetitive and prolonged mechanical stress. The muscles around the neck, shoulders and shoulder blades can be working for long periods in relatively static positions, which can contribute to:

• Muscle fatigue and sensitivity
• Neck and shoulder tension
• Upper-back stiffness
• Reduced movement from staying in one position
• Overworked areas around the traps and shoulder blades

Tissue thickness, skin characteristics and how easily someone’s superficial capillaries respond can also make a big difference.

Most of all, the aim of muscle scraping isn’t to create these marks. They’re simply a temporary response that can occur during treatment. Everyone is different!

So although this back looks like it’s been through a battle 😂, the marks themselves aren’t the goal.

WHAT IS THE GOAL? ⚽️

Improved movement, reducing discomfort and helping overloaded areas better tolerate the mechanical demands being placed on them. 💪

⚫ A Quick Note Before You Book… ⚫

I often get asked what my treatment room is like, so I thought I’d clear something up…

My sports massage and muscle scraping sessions take place in my private PT gym studio – not a spa.

So if you’re expecting fluffy robes, scented candles and whale music… I’m probably not the therapist for you. 😅 (maybe I stick nav champa incense sticks on but mainly that’s for my benefit 😜)

What I do offer is a results-driven environment where the focus is on helping you move better, recover faster and get back to doing what you love.

Whether you’re dealing with:
💥 A long-term ni**le that just won’t go away
💥 A recent injury that’s limiting you
💥 Tight muscles affecting your performance
💥 Stiffness that’s stopping you moving properly

…my aim isn’t just to make you feel good for an hour. My aim is to help you stay pain-free and moving well for longer than just a few days.

Every treatment is tailored to your body, your goals and your lifestyle. Sometimes that means a firm sports massage. Sometimes muscle scraping. Sometimes rehab advice and exercises. Whatever gives you the best chance of lasting results.

If you’re looking for relaxation, there are some fantastic spa therapists out there.

If you’re looking for someone who’s focused on reducing pain, improving movement and helping you get back to living life with fewer limitations… welcome to Grit Therapy.

💪 Sessions take place in my fully equipped private PT gym studio in Offerton, Stockport.

Built for results. Not fluff.

Sports massage and muscle scraping appointments available for next week!

I am available for mobile treatments also at an extra cost

So please drop me a DM for more info!

Much love all

Enjoy the sun!

Muscle scraping comments I hear regularly…. And do you know, quite frankly, I don’t mind them!

* “You’re literally paying someone to bruise you.”

* “That’s pseudoscience with a metal spoon.”

* “Congrats, you paid £75 for medieval torture.”

* “It’s just placebo for gym bros.”

* “If scraping worked, doctors would prescribe it.”

* “They say it ‘breaks up scar tissue’ but that’s biologically nonsense.”

* “Massage with extra marketing.”

* “Another TikTok wellness scam.”

* “The practitioner just keeps scraping until you think it must be working.”

* “Red marks don’t equal recovery.”

😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

And a lot of the time, the keyboard warriors who make these comments are those who have never looked into it and researched it.

I’ve been in the health and fitness game for 23 years now. I wouldn’t qualify myself in something I didn’t think would work.

My massage is fab! I’ve helped and sorted a lot of people.

Muscle scraping is just another level to this and I’m proud to fu***ng say, I’ve sorted people out!

My goal isn’t to fix people!

It’s to get them pain free and moving again in a way they have not been able to during their injured time!

But keep the comments coming…. It’s only going to boost my algorithm!
