From my recent stint in the field (more to follow on that and my other adventures later), I realised just how much an archaeologist’s hands go through when digging out a trench or gully – after just one week digging my muscles ached in areas I never knew existed and I envied the protective calluses on my colleagues hands. I bet that even the best weight lifters and body builders would shrink away in awe of the superior musculature of a weathered archaeologists troweling hand and then of course there’s the mighty ‘Trowel Claw’ which sounds mythically impressive. It’s fair to say that the hands get a beating (or a mattocking?) so imagine the chorus of delight and cheer when the lovely Dr Sarah Bryan of SB Holistic called us to arrange a free hand massage session at our Sheffield office next Friday!
 

Sarah got in touch with us when she saw our new member status tweet for the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce. We were excited to hear about her fantastic work which combines “made-to-measure, integrated holistic therapeutic massage and aromatherapy” with a person-centred approach. You can find out more about her company SB Holistic here. Feeling envious? Then why not book yourself in and see the other therapies she has to offer!
