Off the Bar Therapy

I'm 4 weeks post injury now and physio has now said it'll be 8-12 weeks before I'm able to massage again. I have ruptured one of my hamstrings called semimembranosus at the point where it attaches to your butt, and it's retracted down my leg 16cm. At this point in time, no surgery. Wellington hospital wasn't very good at explaining anything but the hip specialist explained it'll fuse onto the hamstring next to it. I am having a MRI in a couple of weeks. So I have to be careful for a while so it has a chance to fuse.

This means if you have a session booked with me for the next 4 weeks I'll unfortunately have to cancel it. I'm really gutted to do it as I've been really busy lately, but I need to rest and listen to my physio. I'll be contacting everyone via text once I'm back at it. In the meantime, here's some funny's I found which amused me, have to laugh about something! Thank you to all who have contacted me to see how things are or to offer help 🙂

So, I may have broken myself. Looks like I have a tear in my hamstring but waiting on an ultrasound next week to diagnose. Pretty sure it is because I felt it pop and give way on me. And it has some spectacular bruising to show for my efforts.

At this point in time I think I'll be able to massage this coming week. I'm getting around ok with walking and standing but need crutches for stairs and slopes. I may have to ask some clients to reduce from 90mins to an hour. If I'm unable to I will be in contact to reschedule.

In the meantime, this is why I ask if you had any bruising when you injured yourself, strain etc, as it's an indication of a tear or potentially what grade of tear.

Couple of sessions have become available on Friday in Johnston St. Between 4.30pm and 7pm. To book a time please message me and I'll book you in. Please keep in mind, I've had some skin cancer cut out of my face so I look like Frankenstein's monster right now, hope you don't scare easily 🤣

Next availability in Johnston st is 16th of Sept, and the next one in Kenepuru is the 15th of Sept.

Last minute 60min appointment available this Saturday at 4pm in Waiora. This is the only Saturday appointment that's available until the 12th of Sept as August in filling up fast for appointments.

Welcome back to level 3! Some of you might remember this room.

I'm temporarily working out of level 3 while they do renovations on level 6. Same building, different floor. I shall send a text to people as a reminder 🙂
