🚨 Lifting Heavy but Still Feeling Stiff & Sore? Here’s Why! 🚨

You can be strong but still struggle with pain, tightness, or even injuries if your body lacks stability ⚖️. Strength alone isn’t enough – you need to control that power.

💡 Strength vs. Stability

✅ Strength = How much weight you can lift 🏋️‍♂️

✅ Stability = How well you control that weight 🧘‍♂️

When you only focus on strength training:

❌ You get stiff & tight from overactive muscles

❌ Your form breaks down under load

❌ You waste energy from inefficient movement

🔥 How to Fix It? Train Smart! 🔥

🔹 Activate stabilisers before lifting (Dead bugs, Pallof press)

🔹 Use single-side (unilateral) movements (Single-leg deadlifts, Bulgarian split squats)

🔹 Add isometric holds (Planks, paused squats)

🔹 Train full range of motion (Focus on control, not just weight!)

🏆 Stronger + More Stable = Pain-Free Gains & Better Performance! 🚀

🔥 PAIN – It’s Not Just About Tight Muscles! 🔥

Ever thought, “My back hurts because I must have done something wrong”? 🤔 What if I told you pain isn’t always about damage but rather your brain being a little too protective? 🧠⚡

🚨 Here’s the game-changer:
Pain is an experience created by your nervous system. Your emotions, stress, sleep, and movement all influence how much pain you feel. Two people with the same injury can experience totally different levels of pain – because pain is personal.

💡 So what can you do?

✅ Move, but move gently – Small, low-intensity movements tell your brain it’s SAFE.

✅ Breathe deeply – Slow, deep breaths calm your nervous system.

✅ Shift your mindset – Instead of fearing pain, remind yourself: "I am strong, and my body can heal." 💪✨

💭 Pain doesn’t mean you have to stop everything. Instead, let’s work with it to keep moving forward! 🚀

🚨 Does Redness from Deep Tissue Therapy Mean Toxins Are Leaving Your Body? 🤔
You may have seen it online—people claiming that redness in the skin during deep tissue therapy means toxins are being removed. But is that really true? ❌

💡 The Facts About Deep Tissue Therapy:
✅ Increases blood circulation – More oxygen & nutrients reach your muscles 💨
✅ Breaks down fascial restrictions – Improves flexibility & movement 🏃‍♂️
✅ Stimulates tissue healing – Helps with muscle recovery & soreness 🦵
❌ What it DOESN’T do: Detox your body 🚫 (That’s your liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system’s job!)

🔍 What Causes Redness?
Redness (hyperemia) is a normal response to increased blood flow—not a sign of toxins leaving the body. Small red spots (petechiae) are just minor capillary reactions and completely harmless.

💪 Elite athletes like LeBron James, Olympic sprinters, and pro cyclists use deep tissue therapy for mobility, performance, and recovery – not for detox myths!

🚨 Does Stretching Make Muscle Knots Worse? 🤔

We’ve all heard it—“I stretch my muscles, but they still feel tight!” Some even claim that stretching makes muscle knots worse. So, what’s the truth?

✅ Proper stretching helps:
✔ Increases blood flow & oxygenation 💨
✔ Regulates muscle tension ⚖️
✔ Restores muscle length & flexibility 🔄

❌ But stretching can be problematic if:
🚫 You stretch a cold, highly contracted muscle
🚫 You hold static stretches for too long without release work
🚫 You ignore strength training for weak muscles

💡 Best approach? Combine stretching with soft tissue work (massage, foam rolling, dry needling), dynamic movement, and strength training for real, lasting relief.

At Good Health Group Clinic, we help you move better with remedial massage, myotherapy, and chiropractic care tailored to your needs.

📢 Why Hip Internal Rotation Matters! 🏃‍♂️🚴⚽

Did you know that hip internal rotation (HIR) plays a crucial role in sports performance and daily movement? A lack of mobility in this area can lead to injuries, stiffness, and reduced efficiency in your movements.

✅ Why It’s Important:
✔ Running & Walking – Improves stride efficiency & reduces injury risk
✔ Golf & Tennis – Enhances power & stability in swings
✔ Cycling – Optimises knee alignment & pedaling mechanics
✔ Footy & Soccer – Boosts agility, kicking power, & injury prevention

💡 If you feel tight hips, lower back discomfort, or knee pain, it might be time to focus on your hip mobility!

💆‍♂️ Our team at Good Health Group Clinic offers remedial massage, myotherapy, and dry needling to help you move better and stay injury-free!

🚨 Breaking News! 🚨

Apparently, stretching makes muscle knots worse?! 🤨🤔

We came across a viral post saying stretching a tight muscle is like pulling on a knotted rubber band, it just gets tighter. 😱 No more stretching?? EVER?

Hold your foam rollers, people! 🏃‍♂️💨 Science tells us it’s not that simple. While stretching alone isn’t always the magic fix (and yes, it CAN make things worse in some cases), the key is doing it properly. 🎯

💡 Here’s the real deal:
✔️ Stretching increases blood flow & oxygen, helping release tension.
✔️ Dynamic & active stretching works better than just holding a deep static stretch forever.
✔️ Strengthening weak muscles is just as important as loosening tight ones.
✔️ Myotherapy, remedial massage & dry needling can help release stubborn knots BEFORE stretching! 💆‍♂️💪

💥 Rehabbing an injury? STOP jumping straight into strength training! Strength matters, but mobility comes first if you want to heal properly & prevent re-injury.

⚠️ What happens when you rush strength training?
❌ Your body compensates with poor movement patterns
❌ You reinforce stiffness & bad mechanics
❌ You increase your risk of pain flare-ups

🔄 The right rehab order:
✅ Phase 1 (Weeks 1-4): Gentle mobility exercises (Rock back breathing, heel slides)
✅ Phase 2 (Weeks 4-6): Dynamic movement control (Hip CARs, lunge-to-reach)
✅ Phase 3 (Weeks 6+): Gradual strength training with proper form

📖 Science-backed & tested in our clinic! A 2022 study found patients who focused on mobility first had better joint stability, less pain, and fewer reinjuries than those who started with weights.

💡 Rehab is a process—not a race! If you’re recovering from an injury, trust the process & build mobility first! Need guidance? We’ve got your back.

🚀 Want more powerful kicks? Faster direction changes? Stronger adductors are your secret weapon!

👀 Footy players use their adductors (inner thigh muscles) for kicking, sprinting, cutting movements, and hip stability. When tight or weak, they limit movement & reduce power—leaving players feeling “stuck” when kicking.

⚠️ Common footy issues linked to adductors:
❌ Tightness = Poor hip mobility & restricted kicking range
❌ Weakness = Higher risk of groin injuries
❌ Imbalances = Reduced agility & speed

🔑 How to unlock better performance:
✔️ Stretch & Release tight adductors before training
✔️ Strengthen glutes, core & hip flexors for balance
✔️ Fix imbalances—if your adductors do all the work, injuries will happen!

📖 Case study: A midfielder at Ferntree Gully FC struggled with a limited kicking range—no pain, just restriction. We released his tight adductors & added targeted strength work. Within weeks, his kicks were stronger, smoother & more precise!

💡 Don’t wait until tight adductors cost you a game. Get assessed & treated at Good Health Group Clinic!

😵 Tingling in your pinky & ring finger? Numbness? Weak grip? It might not just be a random “arm fell asleep” moment… 🚨 You could be dealing with Ulnar Nerve Entrapment!

👎 Bad posture traps your nerves! Slouching, forward head posture, and tight muscles can put pressure on your ulnar nerve—the one running from your neck to your hand. This can lead to:
❌ Constant tingling or numbness in your fingers
❌ Weak grip strength (hello, butterfingers 🤦)
❌ Achy pain in your arm or hand

💡 What can you do?
✔️ Sit & stand with shoulders back, neck aligned
✔️ Stretch tight muscles—especially chest & shoulders
✔️ Strengthen your rotator cuff & upper back for better posture
✔️ Adjust your desk setup for nerve-friendly positioning

🔥 One of our clients—a plumber & cyclist—struggled with these exact symptoms. After posture correction & targeted treatment, he felt immediate relief! Don’t wait until your hand feels useless—fix it now!
