The psoas muscle, a long, deep muscle spanning the hip and lower back, plays an essential role in movement and stability and may be a source of lower back pain for some individuals. The iliopsoas muscle is responsible for several vital functions.

It contributes to hip joint stability. It facilitates hip flexion, such as raising the knee toward the chest. It aids in the internal rotation of the thigh. It assists in lateral flexion, also known as sidebending.
The psoas major portion assists the re**us abdominus (abs) in flexing the lumbar spine. The iliopsoas are essential for walking, running, and crawling.

What Causes A Tight Psoas Muscle?
Several factors can contribute to tight psoas muscles, such as:
• Sitting for long periods
• Poor posture
• Wearing high heels
• Pregnancy
• Being overweight or obese

By releasing the tightness within the fibres (knots), the muscle will then be able to stretch easier and become longer. The greater length of the muscle will eventually decrease the pull on its origin and insertion points, helping to return to normal function.

Did you know you can help by releasing, stretching, and strengthening the Psoas Muscle.

• KETTLEBELL SWING
When done correctly, this exercise can build incredible core and leg strength, thus improving the psoas muscles.
• LEG LIFTS
Lie on your back with your face upward. Engage your core muscles and lift your legs straight up. Point your toes toward the ceiling. Slowly and carefully lower one leg.
• SIT-UPS
• BRIDGES
• LUNGES

Your massage therapist can release this muscle during your session but also show you how to stretch and strengthen at home.⠀

Ever notice how one stiff muscle can make your whole body feel off?

A tight hip can pull on your lower back.
A rigid mid-back can give your neck a hard time.
Even a small knot in the shoulder can change the way you move without you realising.

Our bodies are amazing at adapting but those adaptations can show up as discomfort if they’re left unchecked.

Massage isn’t just about fixing the sore spot.
It’s about helping the body rebalance, letting everything move more freely again.

Why Your Neck is Screaming for Help
(It’s Not Just Your Traps!)

Ever feel that sharp, one-sided neck pain when you turn your head?
Chances are, your levator scapulae muscles are doing far more than they were designed to do.
These small muscles run from the top of your shoulder blade up the side of your neck. Their job is to help lift and stabilise your shoulder not hold your head in place all day.
Stress, long hours at a desk, phone use, or poor posture can cause them to tighten.

Left unchecked, this can lead to:
• Neck stiffness
• Pain when turning your head
• Shoulder elevation that won’t drop
• Tension headaches

Massage helps by
• Releasing deep tension in the levator scapulae
• Easing stiffness and improving neck movement
• Encouraging other muscles to share the load

If your neck feels constantly “on edge,” it’s your body telling you it needs care. Massage can help these hardworking muscles finally relax and help your shoulders drop back where they belong.

Quick question...
Where does your body hold tension when life gets busy?

Neck?
Lower back?
Hips?
Jaw?

Most people notice pain where it shows up but not where it starts.

When the body is under load (stress, long hours, sitting, training, poor sleep), it redistributes tension to keep you moving. One area tightens to protect another. Over time, that compensation becomes discomfort.

That’s why:
• Tight hips can affect your back
• A stiff mid-back can overload the neck
• Shoulder tension can trigger headaches

It’s not random ... it’s adaptive.

Massage works best when it looks at how the body is compensating, not just where it hurts on the day.

Ever notice how your neck hurts… but your hips feel tight too?

That’s not a coincidence.

The body doesn’t work in isolated parts...it works in chains. When one area takes on extra load, another area often pays the price.

Tight hips can pull on the lower back.
A stiff mid-back can overload the neck.
Jaw tension can show up as headaches or shoulder pain.

Your body is clever... it adapts to keep you moving.
But those adaptations can quietly turn into pain if left unaddressed.

That’s why treating only where it hurts doesn’t always fix the problem.
Real relief comes from understanding where the tension started, not just where it landed.

Massage isn’t just about relaxing muscles.... it’s about helping the body rebalance, reconnect, and move better as a whole.

If something’s been niggling “somewhere else” lately, your body might be trying to tell you something.

2026 Let’s Stop Normalising Pain

New year. Fresh start.
And I’m saying this gently but clearly:

👉 Constant tightness is not normal.
👉 Recurring pain is not “just getting older.”
👉 Feeling stiff every morning is not something you have to accept.

Over the last few months, I’ve been hands-on, listening to bodies.... not algorithms.
And the pattern is always the same:

• Pain starts as tension
• Tension becomes compensation
• Compensation becomes injury

Massage isn’t just about relaxation.
When done properly, it’s assessment, treatment, education, and prevention all in one session.

In 2026, my focus is simple:
✔ helping people understand why their body is sore
✔ treating the root cause, not just the symptom
✔ keeping you moving, working, training, and living without constant setbacks

If this is the year you want to:
– move better
– feel stronger
– stop chasing pain around your body

You’re in the right place.

Here’s to fewer flare-ups, fewer “I’ll just push through it” moments, and a body that actually supports your lifestyle.

Welcome to 2026. Let’s do it properly.
