If you follow the Lodge Sports () page you will that recently I was asked if I did any “extras” (BIG NO THAT ONE!)

Therefore, I thought we would to when Vic and I discussed safety at work (and my mild obsession with Ryan Reynolds and his gin🙈🤣)

If you are wondering what you can be doing to help keep yourself safe, you need to listen to this episode!

Yes, I know, showing my age with this one! 🙈🤣

But are you a “Bucket” or a “Bouquet”?

Does what you look like really impact on your business? Or do the surroundings matter?

We discuss branding, appearances and how these can play into clients perception of your service.

As always, give a listen and please do not forget to like, share and let us know what you think - do appearances really matter?

TBT to episode 17, season 1 and when we had the lovely Vic with us.

From a business point of view, I think this has been one of the most useful we’ve ever done.

This episode gave me a great platform to research the symptoms of peri menopause and menopause, and as a result I have been able to help so many patients which, without this episode, I would have missed the underlying cause of their pain!

If you missed it the first time, you will not regret listening to this episode now!

Life of a massage therapist - it’s all lotus flowers, whale music and working whenever you want, right?

Often the reality is different to what we expect prior to starting up our businesses. In this episode, Greg (State 11) and Melody (Lodge Sports and Remedial Massage) discuss their experiences of burn out, the actuality of running a successful business and how to manage that ever precious work/life balance!

We also thought this quote of his was worth consideration - perhaps ask yourself, what is your hustle and grind?

So Melody was on the - how exciting!

Although it was weird for Melody to be on the other side and not the one in control of recording , she hag great fun to talking to Susanna and Marc (and a massive thank you to them for putting up with her! 🤣).

Melody got to speak a little about how she got where to where she is, why I love helping people with their pain is the best job, and how a little bit about how the podcast came to be!

And can you believe that she didn’t even swear?!😂

You can listen to her and the other amazing businesses featured (Rubix M&E
Insight Energy, and Cheddar Creative )here http://www.podtalk.co.uk/podcast (episode 36)

It is also available on all other podcast platforms such as Apple, Spotify, Google etc!

And if you fancy giving the other businesses a like/follow, we’re sure they’d appreciate it!

So have you had chance to listen to our podcast yet?

Most people have found it surprising the amount of different common symptoms there are - it’s not all hot flushes!

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms or your clients are, follow the link below for an easy version of the Greene Climateric Scale - this can be a handy form to fill in and take with when seeing your GP if you think you may be experiencing the peri-menopause/menopause.

How is everyone doing?

I realise we’ve been a bit quiet recently but there’s been a lot going on for both Vic and I.... some of which we will be discussing soon.

I’m also aware that you may not be able to access our wonderful episodes at the moment - this is because unfortunately our podcast host has been the victim of a cyberattack and they are working diligently to get everything back up and running soon.

So thank you for your patience and we hope to be back entertaining and educating you soon!

At a time when the massage industry is in uproar over whether we should open or not, whether we should be classed as healthcare or not - it seemed only right to get ethical.
From the treatments you use, to rebooking clients, to working in covid times.... what is your ethical accountability looking like?

Well, today is the day that lockdown begins (should it get agreed in Parliament - don’t get Vic started! 😂 ).

Does this picture make you want to scream?

The damage to his neck, his spine.... somebody stop him!

But is it 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 that bad?

Posture is often blamed for a variety of musculoskeletal issues but is it really the bad guy that everyone makes out?

New episode up, in this one we discuss basically how to treat older and larger clients with dignity and respect. Not exactly rocket science but unfortunately the client experience often speaks otherwise - and sometimes the training we receive as therapists regarding these groups is minimal to say the least! #geriatric #elderly #obese #obesity #overweight #human #benice #bekind #massage #massagetherapy #softtissuetherapy

So you will all be aware that another episode is in production as Vic gave everyone a glimpse into what recording with a toddler looks like!🤦🏼‍♀️ Whilst you eagerly await the next episode, there is still time to catch the last episode with Greg (from State 11 Soft Tissue Therapy) talking about what it’s like to be a male in the massage world. #podcast #massage #maletherapist #maninawomansworld #softtissuetherapy #bodywork #business #smallbusiness #selfemployed

After the response from Vic’s Website Wizardry, we decided to record a bonus episode answering questions that had been sent to us. One thing that kept coming up was prices - it appeared that this was something everyone struggles with... including ourselves! What do think the reason is - do we find it harder to ask for more money because we’re British? Is it a male/female divide? Imposter syndrome? Let us know your thoughts! #pricing #knowyourworth #impostersyndrome #women #men #money #makingaliving #softtissuetherapy #massagetherapy #massage #bodywork #business #selfemployed #smallbusiness #podcast

Are you part of the reason the industry isn’t taken seriously? Recent events really brought to a head just how we were viewed as professionals and maybe we need to look at what we are telling other therapists and our clients. Toxins, muscle knots, improving oxygen intake - do we really make a difference to these - what do you think? #massage #massagetherapy #softtissuetherapy #remedialmassage #massagetherapist #toxins #muscles #knots #oxygen #myths #truth #professional #podcast
