🏋♀️🤸♂️ Let's talk gym recovery 🤸♂️🏋♀️
Soreness is part and parcel of fitness. Never to be mixed up with pain! Workouts and post work outs should never be painful.
However, if you've ever done a workout, especially a weighted workout, this can cause delayed onset muscle soreness. Weird concept, but in order to improve muscle strength. We actually damage muscle tissue (weird right), BUT it's minor completely normal!
The muscle tissue micro tears- repairs- increasing its strength.
Who's not been able to walk up and set of stairs or get off the toilet after squat day 🙋♂️🙋♀️ .
It's achy and sore days afterwards.
This is where I can help. When the muscle tissue is inflamed, we can decrease this, move all the goodies you need into the muscle tissue, and help that repair process.
Sometimes, it's hard to even think of someone touching your muscles when they feel like that, so we have many different modalities to help and massage techniques that don't increase the soreness they hugely help!
Above is my sister, who would only allow the cups after a heavy upper body session 🤣
If you're experiencing actual pain during and after a session, there are some very talented personal trainers in Two Rocks and Yanchep. If you need help finding one, send me a DM. I can point you in the direction of some seriously good ones :) they know their stuff to keep you out of trouble!
