Massage

Before christmas I did a course to qualify me to be a gym instructor - another string to the MV bow - and most of the people on the course went on to do the personal training qualification and then sports massage.

Anyway, on Thursdays they practice their massage techniques and need people to practice on - so someone gave me a call and asked if I was interested. Brilliant. Free massage!


So, I went up to Guildford Spectrum Centre - apparently " The most exciting leisure complex in the UK" (certainly looks exciting in the picture to the left there!)- and Claire gave me a leg massage.

Quite marvellous.




It was confirmed that my IT band (diagram below to show you what I am on about) is v. tight on my left hand side - which is likely to be the cause of my knee pain - but apart from that, my legs were pretty knot free, which is brilliant.


Felt great after that - and nice to see how everyone is getting on (very well) - so worth the trip.

Cross training today - intended to go swimming but forgot to take my membership card with me, so came home instead and did weights. Lovely.
