When “Tight” Isn’t Just Tight

Muscle tightness and tendon damage can sometimes feel surprisingly similar — aching, stiffness, tenderness, and pain with movement can make it difficult to know what’s actually going on.

But there’s an important difference: what helps a tight muscle may aggravate an injured tendon.

Stretching can feel like the obvious solution when an area feels tight. However, if the underlying problem is tendon irritation or damage, repeatedly stretching and loading that tendon can make symptoms worse and potentially delay recovery.

A gentle, targeted massage can be a different approach. When appropriate, massage can work on the surrounding muscle tightness and tension, helping the muscle relax without directly stretching or aggressively loading the irritated tendon.

So if an area feels “tight,” don’t automatically assume it needs more stretching. Sometimes the tightness is your body’s response to an underlying tendon problem.

The key is identifying what’s actually causing the pain — because the right treatment for a tight muscle isn’t necessarily the right treatment for an injured tendon.

If you’re unsure whether you’re dealing with muscle tightness or tendon pain, getting it assessed can help you choose the right approach. 💆‍♀️💪

Have you ever gone to book a massage and not been sure what you actually need?

Introducing 🥁🥁🥁 The Hybrid Massage!!

This is a massage where, once you have come to your session, we have a chat about what you have come in for today. Then, based on that conversation we discuss how to mix and match various techniques and therapies that may benefit you.

I have plenty of people who want a lymphatic drainage massage but also have some tightness in their shoulders. So we do remedial for the shoulders then finish with lymphatic drainage. Or maybe they really need a relaxation session for their nervous system but know that their tight lower back also needs some deeper work. So we address the lower back first and then get back to relaxation.

You won't actually find the Hybrid massage as a choice when you're booking in, but I want you to understand that your time is 100% yours to do with as you please!

If you're still unsure what to choose, just book for the time you want the type doesn't really matter and when you get here we'll sort it out!

I'll see you soon! 🩵

Some may not be aware, but one of my qualifications is in nutritional medicine. I don't practice as a nutritionist but it has always been one of my interests.
As such I'm often asking if my clients take any supplements. Of course supplements can't replace a great diet but that is why they're called supplements and many of us are deficient in quite a lot of things!
These are the ones I'm currently taking to support my body with my fitness endeavours and as I age.

MORNING STACK

Complete Joint Collagen - supports healthy tendons and ligaments, supports joint and cartilage health abd reduces mild joint pain.

Creatine Monohydrate - supports cognitive function, maintains energy production and enhances muscle performance.

NR Supreme- the precursors to NMA which some of you may have seen advertised as THE anti aging supplement. It boosts cellular energy and DNA repair mechanisms (that is the anti aging tip)

Tri-Mag Active Muscle - also contains some NR (see above) and Taurine. Magnesium plays a crucial role in supporting physical strength and mobility, muscle contraction and neurological and cardiac health.

I put all of these (except the NR capsule) in a shaker with about 300ml of water and drink it first thing every morning.

Today I had a client say "I swear massage is actual medicine!" And you know what? She is 100% correct.

Clinical literature indicates that remedial massage offers superior long-term pain management and functional recovery compared to long-term pharmaceutical use, which often carries risks of dependency. Key studies, such as the Cherkin et al. trial and a meta-analysis in pain medicine, suggest that manual therapy provides more sustained relief for chronic conditions by addressing physical dysfunction, whereas pharmaceuticals often only provide temporary, short-term relief.

Harvard University states that therapeutic massage may relieve pain by way of several mechanisms, including relaxing painful muscles, tendons, and joints; relieving stress and anxiety; and possibly helping to "close the pain gate" by stimulating competing nerve fibers and impeding pain messages to and from the brain.

The days of thinking of massage as an indulgence or a "treat" are long gone. People are FINALLY realising that regular remedial massage is an effective way of not only managing pain in both acute and chronic conditions its more effective than their prescription medication without the many unwanted side effects.

AND, as an extra bonus a good massage will also sooth your nervous system, boost your immune system, improve skin condition, improve sleep quality and elevate your mental health as well.

ALL of these benefits in one therapy!? Can you afford NOT to include remedial massage in your health management????
