Do you constantly feel tight, stiff, or achy, even though you stretch regularly? 🤔
The truth is, feeling “tight” doesn’t always mean your muscles are actually short.
Common reasons you might feel tight or achy include:
✔️ Muscle overload from work, exercise or repetitive movements.
✔️ Weakness causing other muscles to work harder.
✔️ Joint stiffness reducing normal movement.
✔️ Stress and poor sleep increasing muscle tension.
✔️ Not moving enough throughout the day.
Stretching can help, but it isn’t always the answer. Finding the real cause is the key to long-term relief.
At EZARD Physiotherapy, we assess how your body moves, identify what’s causing your symptoms, and create a personalised treatment plan to get you moving comfortably again.
