💥What Are Trigger Points? Trigger points are hyper-irritable, tight knots in your muscle fibers.

✅They're often caused by:

Overuse (like poor posture or repetitive movement)

Injury or stress

Muscle imbalances

Sedentary habits or poor ergonomics

✅They hurt because:

They restrict blood flow to the area (causing pain and tension)

They send “referred pain” to other areas (like a neck knot causing headaches)

They cause muscle stiffness and inflammation

What Is Manual Therapy – and Is It Right for You?

Manual therapy is a hands-on treatment technique used by physiotherapists to help relieve pain, improve mobility, and support recovery. It’s often part of a personalised treatment plan — not just about “cracking joints” or massage.

So, what does it actually involve?
Depending on your needs, manual therapy might include:

➡️Gentle joint mobilisations
➡️Soft tissue release
➡️Muscle stretching
➡️Passive movement techniques

These techniques help reduce stiffness, improve movement, and get you back to doing the things you love — with less pain and better function.

It may be right for you if you’re experiencing:

➡️Joint pain or stiffness
➡️Muscle tightness or reduced flexibility
➡️Neck or back pain
➡️Recovery from injury or surgery
➡️Chronic conditions like arthritis

Your physiotherapist will assess your condition and goals to determine whether manual therapy is suitable — and combine it with tailored exercises and movement strategies to support long-term results.

Foam Rolling 101: Unlock Your Body’s Potential! Feeling tight, stiff, or sore?

Meet your new best friend: the foam roller! 🙌

Foam rolling is a simple but powerful technique that helps release muscle tension, improve flexibility, and boost circulation—all by targeting your fascia (the connective tissue around your muscles). It’s like giving your body a deep tissue massage… anytime, anywhere!

✅ Why it works:
Foam rolling uses gentle pressure and rolling motion to break up knots, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility—especially before or after a workout.

✅ How it helps with physio:

In physiotherapy, we use foam rolling to:

Speed up muscle recovery

Improve range of motion

Support injury rehab

Enhance stretching results by relaxing tight muscles first

💡 Want to roll smarter, not harder? Ask your physio for personalised foam rolling tips tailored to your body’s needs!
