DOMS or injury? 🤔

You’ve finished training, you’re sore the next day and you’re wondering…

“Is this just DOMS, or have I actually hurt myself?”

DOMS is common after unfamiliar or harder-than-usual exercise and generally feels like widespread muscle soreness and stiffness.

But pain that is sharp, very localised, getting worse, associated with swelling/bruising, or affecting your strength or movement may need a closer look.

The important bit?

Pain isn’t always something you should just push through.

Knowing the difference can help you make better decisions about training, recovery and when to get something assessed.

Are you training through pain? 🏃‍♀️🏉

If an injury keeps coming back, gets worse during training, or is changing the way you move — it might be time to stop ignoring it.

You don’t always need to stop completely.
You do need the right plan.

At Motion Forge, I can assess where you’re at and help you work towards recovering, rebuilding and returning to what you love.

Got something that’s been niggling you?

DM me “PLAN” and tell me what’s going on. 👇

Massage isn’t always the answer. 👀

If you’ve got an ache, recurring pain or an injury that’s affecting your training, sometimes you need to understand why it’s happening rather than just treating the area.

At Motion Forge, I combine sports massage and injury rehabilitation to help you recover, rebuild and get back to doing what you enjoy.

Got something that’s been niggling you?

Drop me a message — let’s have a chat. 🏉🏁

When an hour’s visit turns into three… 🏍️

Today we “popped” up-to Ashdown to see who was riding & it turned out to be one of those days that reminded me why I enjoy being around the racing community.

It was so good to see so many familiar faces, crews and friends all together for a proper social day on the bikes, passengers changing around and generally having a brilliant time. ❤️

No treatments today, no taping, no rehab plans — just catching up, having a chat, sharing a few laughs and enjoying being part of such a great community.

Sometimes it’s nice to put the therapy bag down and enjoy the people behind the helmets.

Thanks to everyone who stopped for a chat — always good to see you all! 🧡💜

Working with the body, not just chasing the pain.

Today’s session with Sam, one of Motion Forge’s Founding Clients and an experienced sidecar passenger, focused on addressing the areas that needed attention, improving tissue mobility and helping him move more comfortably.

Sidecar racing puts very different demands on the body, so treatment is about understanding the athlete, their role and what their body needs from them.

Every treatment is tailored to the individual — because no two bodies, injuries or training demands are exactly the same. I still have 3 spaces open on my Founding Client Plans, pm me to see how i can help you today 🧡

Wednesday Wellness 🧡

Your body doesn’t only need looking after when something hurts.

Recovery is part of performance — whether you’re training, competing, working hard or simply getting through a busy week.

This Wednesday, check in with yourself:

🧡 Have you had enough water today?
💜 Have you fuelled your body properly?
🧡 Have you given yourself time to recover?
💜 Are you carrying any niggles you’ve been ignoring?
🧡 Have you moved your body today?

Small habits add up.

Recover. Rebuild. Perform.

That’s what Motion Forge is all about. 💪

🏁 RACE DAY SUPPORT | TEAM 121 🏁

Yesterday was another brilliant day trackside with Motion Forge, and I got the chance to spend some time in the pit area supporting Max Luckes and Team 121 in those final moments before heading out to the start line.

My role wasn’t just about recovery — it was about helping Max stay hydrated, focused and mentally prepared before the race, making sure he had what he needed in those last few minutes before heading out.

I was also keeping an eye on hydration for Kelly Roo Higgins making sure she had water available throughout the day too. 💧

Those moments before a race can be busy, intense and full of adrenaline, so having someone there to take care of the little things can make a real difference.

Thank you Max for trusting Motion Forge to be part of your race day. 🏁

It’s a privilege to be trackside, supporting the crews and seeing the work that goes into getting them to that start line.

Here’s to more race weekends, more miles and more Recover • Rebuild • Perform. 🖤💜🧡

🏁 RACE DAY TOMORROW! 🏁

A big shoutout to some of the Motion Forge crews heading out to race tomorrow! 🏍️💨

Race weekends aren’t just about what happens on the track — preparation, recovery and looking after your body all play a huge part too.

Whether it’s:
💪 Getting the body ready before racing
🧠 Staying switched on and focused
🔧 Managing those niggles before they become problems
♻️ Supporting recovery between races
🏁 Helping you get back ready for the next one

Your body is part of your race setup — look after it like you do the machine.

Wishing all our crews a safe, strong and successful race weekend! 🏁🔥

Go smash it — and remember, the work doesn’t stop when the chequered flag drops.
