Why does my lower back ache after sitting all day?

Sitting for long periods can leave your back feeling stiff, achy or uncomfortable - especially if you’ve been in the same position for hours.

It’s not always that your posture is “bad”. Often, your body just doesn’t love staying still for too long.

Changing position regularly, getting up for a quick walk, moving your hips and spine, and building strength around your back can all help.

And if the ache keeps coming back, starts affecting what you can do, or just isn’t settling, it’s worth getting it looked at.

Sometimes the answer isn’t sitting perfectly - it’s simply moving more often.

Pain doesn’t have to be severe before it’s worth getting checked.

A lot of people wait until something is really painful before booking an appointment - but you don’t have to.

If something has been niggling, feeling tight, affecting how you move or simply not settling the way you expected, it can be worth getting it looked at sooner rather than later.

Sometimes a little advice, treatment or a few simple changes are all you need to stop something becoming more frustrating.

You don’t need to be in agony to ask for help.

Should I stop exercising if my back hurts?
Not necessarily 👀

In many cases, completely stopping movement can actually make your back feel stiffer and more sensitive. Gentle movement and modifying what you’re doing can often be more helpful than avoiding exercise altogether.

That said, it really depends on why your back is hurting and what movements are aggravating it. If something causes sharp pain, makes symptoms significantly worse, or you’re unsure what’s safe, it’s worth getting it assessed rather than simply pushing through.

Sometimes the answer isn’t “stop exercising” - it’s change the exercise, reduce the load, or adjust how you’re doing it.

If your back has been niggling for a while and you’re not sure what you should or shouldn’t be doing, we can help you work that out.

Neck feeling stiff, tight or just not quite right?

Neck pain and tension can creep in for all sorts of reasons - long days at a desk, training, stress, poor sleep, carrying little ones around, or simply doing a bit too much of the same thing.

When you come in to see us, we’ll take the time to work out what’s going on, where you’re feeling restricted and what might be contributing to it, then tailor your treatment to you.

Sometimes it’s about easing tension, sometimes improving movement, sometimes just giving an area that’s been working overtime a bit of attention.

If your neck has been niggling away, you don’t have to just put up with it 🤍

Why do I keep getting headaches?

If headaches are becoming a regular part of your week, it’s worth looking at what might be contributing to them.

Headaches can have lots of different causes, but tension through the neck, shoulders, jaw and upper back can sometimes play a part - especially if you spend long hours at a desk, clench your jaw, feel stressed or often wake up with a stiff neck.

At The Therapy Barn, we don’t just focus on where it hurts. We look at the bigger picture, including your movement, muscular tension, daily habits and anything that could be causing the problem to keep returning.
Treatment may include hands-on work, mobility exercises and simple advice to help you manage things between appointments.

You don’t have to just keep putting up with it.

Why do my shoulders always feel tight?

It’s one of the most common things we hear in clinic - and it’s not always as simple as “you just need a deeper massage.”

That tight, heavy, achey feeling around the neck and shoulders can come from a mix of things: desk work, stress, poor sleep, training load, carrying children, jaw tension, weakness around the upper back, or simply not moving enough throughout the day.

Sports massage can be brilliant for helping tight shoulders feel easier. It can reduce discomfort, calm things down, improve movement and give your body a much-needed reset.

But for longer-lasting results, it helps to understand why those muscles are feeling tight in the first place.

At The Therapy Barn, we take a more complete approach. We combine hands-on treatment with clinical reasoning, movement advice and simple, realistic strategies to help you feel better beyond the treatment room.

That might mean looking at how you’re moving, what your work or training demands are, where your body is compensating, or which areas may need more strength and support.

So yes - if your shoulders feel tight, sports massage can absolutely help.

But our aim is always to treat with purpose, not just pressure.
