⛔️
Not all oral peptides work as advertised.

Peptides can be broken down in the stomach before the body has a chance to absorb them. That means a peptide capsule may not deliver what the label promises.

The industry also has too many salespeople who understand marketing—but not the science behind peptides.

Before buying, ask for real evidence on the exact product. A confident sales pitch is not proof.

Peptides are complex. Don’t believe the hype—check the science.

Great to have Sheldon in today! 🥊💪

He regularly travels over from Sheffield for treatment, bringing his lad along—currently a goalkeeper at Sheffield United! ⚽️🧤

He’s recovering in the car 🤣 after being first on the treatment table!

Always good to chat about all things boxing and recovery 🥊🔥

Peptides are finally getting the love they deserve... about time!
💉🙌
I’ve been using them for 3 + years now and completed numerous course - they’ve helped me stay active and keep enjoying my sports.
💪🏃
The downside? Apparently everyone is now a peptide expert... 😂

One week it’s:
📈 “Buy this crypto!”
The next:
💉 “Trust me, bro... peptides are life.”

Some of the messages I’ve had lately are worrying. People are receiving a package in the post with less guidance than you get from an IKEA bedside table. 📦🤷‍♂️
Do your homework. 📚
❌ Avoid pre-mixed pens.
❌ Avoid trend-chasing sellers.
✅ Buy from people who actually know what they’re talking about.
If your peptide supplier changes careers more often than their Instagram bio... maybe give them a miss. 😂🚩

Rehab done right
💪🔥
Been working closely with after a biceps tendon rupture during his last training camp — followed by surgical reattachment at the distal tendon. Post-op, his range of motion (ROM) at the elbow joint was severely limited (flexion + supination especially restricted).
See pictures ➡️📸➡️📸
💪
Over the past 12 weeks, we’ve put in consistent work a few times per week focusing on:

🛠️ Soft tissue therapy & myofascial release
🔧 Graston technique (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilisation)
⚡ Frictioning to support tendon remodeling
🧠 Muscle Energy Techniques (METs) to restore neuromuscular control
🩸 Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training to safely rebuild strength
⬇️
Progressively restoring mobility, stability, and load tolerance through the biceps brachii, brachialis, and surrounding structures.

✅ Now back to full ROM
✅ Strength & function restored
✅ Ready for the next camp
Smart rehab. Structured progression. Solid result. 👊

💉💉💉✒️✒️✒️
I get asked all the time about peptide pens… and yes, I understand the appeal.
Convenience matters 🙌
Out the fridge ➡️ inject ➡️ back in.
But here’s the part most people miss 👀
🧪 This applies to all peptides — and NAD⁺ too.
Once reconstituted, most peptides are only stable for up to 28 days.
So you really have to ask:
❓ When was it mixed?
❓ How was it stored?
❓ How many weeks of doses are you stretching it over?
Highly unlikely that pen was mixed just hours before you bought it…
Yet most pens are designed to last 30+ days 🚩
Now it gets even trickier 👇
⚗️ Combined peptide pens are a real minefield.
Each peptide has its own pH requirements for stability.
So when multiple peptides are mixed together, you have to ask:
👉 Which one is being compromised first?
Add temperature, time, and transport into the mix and you’re left with:
❌ reduced potency
❌ unpredictable results
❌ wasted money
📱 Spend 5 minutes on YouTube learning how to reconstitute and store peptides properly.
It’s easier than you think.
It’s more cost-effective.
And the results speak for themselves 💥
Convenience is tempting…

📈 But understanding what you inject always wins.

🧬 Peptide science 🧬
Once peptides are reconstituted, most remain stable for up to ~28 days
🗓️
Here’s what’s happening
👇
🔬 Reconstitution introduces water → increased risk of hydrolysis
🧪 Peptide bonds can slowly break down, reducing bioactivity

🦠 Longer storage = higher contamination risk

❄️ Refrigeration (~2–8°C) slows chemical degradation
Bottom line: use within the stability window to maintain structural integrity & potency

🍽️ Fuel Matters on GLP-1s 💉
If you’re using a GLP-1 medication, what you eat matters just as much as the medication itself.
Many of the side effects people experience aren’t from the drug — they’re from poor nutrition.
🥩 Protein is essential
GLP-1s reduce appetite, which makes it easy to under-eat, especially protein. Without enough protein, your body struggles to maintain muscle, energy, and metabolism.
⚠️ Poor nutrition can lead to:
• Fatigue 😴
• Nausea & dizziness 🤢
• Hair loss 💇‍♀️
• Muscle loss 💪
• Slower progress 📉
✅ Prioritize real, nourishing foods:
• High-quality protein at every meal 🥩🍳🐟
• Whole foods over ultra-processed 🍎🥦
• Adequate fluids & electrolytes 💧
✨ GLP-1s are a powerful tool — but they work best when paired with proper nutrition.
Eat with intention. Protect your body. Support your results. 💙

Returning to work Monday 12th January ✨
📖 Bookings and enquiries are now open 📩
During my time away 🇹🇭 I had the opportunity to further develop my skills, where massage is often referred to as “lazy yoga” 🧘‍♀️ — due to the assisted stretches and therapeutic positioning used throughout treatments 💆‍♀️
✨
Even after over a decade in practice ⏳, it’s been valuable to refine existing techniques and learn new approaches
👀🙌
I look forward to welcoming you back soon
🤍
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year
