💪 Improve your shoulder pain – Wall Pec Stretch! 💪

🙌 A go to stretch and mobility drill for lots of shoulder issues we see in Clinic and also one we like to do ourselves!

👇 Follow these technique steps:
✅️ Position 1, start with the elbow bent at shoulder height and place your forearm on a wall, door frame or rig.
✅️ Step the same side leg forwards and the opposite side leg backwards for support.
✅️ Aim to rotate the torso away from the wall/door/rig and feel the stretch in the pectoral chest muscle.
✅️ Rotate in and out of this position to release and deepen the stretch.
✅️ Position 2, start with the elbow straighter and inline with your nose and repeat.

⏱ Complete this for 30-60 seconds on each side.

🤔 Do you currently have shoulder pain? Try this and see if it helps!

👍 Do you need some help with this, let us know!

💆‍♀️ Self-Myofascial Release (SMFR) 💆‍♀️

🥎Foam rollers, spikey massage balls, and lacrosse balls have become staples in gyms and sports bags, but are you using them effectively?

🔸️ Foam Roller
Great for larger muscle groups like your quads, hamstrings, calves, glutes and upper back. Ideal before exercise to improve movement or after training to help reduce muscle soreness.

🔸️ Spikey Trigger Point Ball
Perfect for targeting smaller muscles and areas that need a little more precision. Great for the feet, calves, glutes and shoulders.

🔸️ Hard Lacrosse Ball/Trigger Point Ball
Provides deeper pressure than a spikey ball, making it ideal for stubborn, tight muscles such as the glutes, pecs and upper back. Start gently, you don't need to be in agony for it to be effective!

✅ Potential benefits of SMFR:
✔️ Reduce feelings of muscle tightness
✔️ Improve range of movement
✔️ Enhance warm-ups before activity
✔️ Help you recover after training
✔️ Easy to do at home with minimal equipment

⚠️ Remember, SMFR is a useful tool, but it's not a replacement for strengthening exercises, rehabilitation, or addressing the underlying cause of pain.

💆‍♀️ A Sports Massage Session with Better Bodies 💆‍♀️

❌ Myth: Sports massage should always hurt.

✅ Fact: It doesn’t have to!

🤦‍♀️ One of the biggest misconceptions is that the more painful the massage, the better the results. In reality, that’s simply not true.

🙌 A sports massage should be effective, not unbearable. While you may experience some discomfort when working on tight or injured tissues, treatment should always stay within a level that you can tolerate. If you’re tensing up, holding your breath, or trying to climb off the treatment couch, it’s probably too much!

🙏 The right amount of pressure allows your muscles to relax, helps improve movement, and can reduce pain—without leaving you dreading your next appointment.

🎯 Every treatment is tailored to your goals, injury, pain levels, and comfort, whether you’re an athlete preparing for competition, recovering from an injury, or just dealing with everyday aches and pains.

💬 Have you ever thought sports massage had to hurt to work? Let us know in the comments!

📅 Ready to experience sports massage done properly? Get in touch to book your appointment.
