Jack's Muscle Remedy

🎉 GIVEAWAY TIME! 🎉

It feels like a pretty good time to do another giveaway!

We're coming up to a year in the new Banchory clinic, and it's been one hell of a year for Jack's Muscle Remedy.

The clinic has been busier than ever, I've had loads of new faces through the door, I'm getting very close to 1,000 appointments this year alone, and I'm averaging around 105 people through the clinic every month.

So I thought it was about time I gave something back to the people who have helped make that happen. 👌

ONE LUCKY WINNER WILL GET:

💆‍♂️ A 60-minute sports massage

And all you need to do to enter is:

1️⃣ Like this post
2️⃣ Follow Jack's Muscle Remedy
3️⃣ Tag 3 pals in the comments 👇

And if you fancy sharing it to your story too, that would be massively appreciated, but it's not a requirement to enter.

The winner will be picked at random and announced on 1st November 2026.

Whether you've been coming to see me for years, you've only been in once, or you've just been following along with what I'm doing, this is just a wee thank you for all the support.

The recommendations, bookings, shares, likes and general support genuinely make a massive difference to a small business like mine.

So cheers to all of you! ❤️

And good luck! 👀

MOBILITY MONDAY 🧘‍♂️

This week's movement is Lat Foam Rolling 💪

The lats can get a fair bit of work without you necessarily realising it.

Pull-ups, rows, pressing, lifting, carrying, swimming, even spending a lot of time at a desk can all have you using them throughout the day.

A bit of time on the foam roller can be a simple way of giving the area some attention and getting a bit of movement through the side of the back.

Lie on your side with the roller underneath your lat, just below the armpit, and slowly roll down towards your mid-back.

You don't need to absolutely destroy yourself on it either 😂

Take your time, breathe and adjust your position as you go. If you find a particularly tight spot, hang around there for a few breaths rather than attacking it like it owes you money.

And remember, foam rolling is just one tool in the toolbox. It's not about trying to fix everything with a roller. Sometimes a few minutes of movement and some consistency is all you need.

MOBILITY MONDAY 🧘‍♂️

This week's movement is Hamstring Foam Rolling 🦵

After Granite Grit recently, and Proving Grounds: The Assault this weekend, there's probably a fair few hamstrings around Deeside that are feeling a little more worked than usual 😂

Foam rolling is a simple way of getting some movement through the hamstrings and giving them a bit of attention after training or competing.

Sit on the roller, place it underneath the back of your thigh and slowly roll from just above the knee towards the glute.

Don't just absolutely batter the sorest bit you can find 😂. Take your time, breathe and work through the area at a pace that's comfortable for you.

It's not about trying to make everything ridiculously painful. A few controlled minutes can be plenty.

And you don't need to have just competed in a race to use it. Running, squatting, deadlifting, cycling, walking or even spending too long sitting down can all leave the hamstrings feeling a bit tight.

Give it a go and see how they feel afterwards!
