Huge Congratulations to Jake! 🥂

After years of hard work and dedication, Jake has officially graduated and is now a fully qualified Sports Therapist! 👨‍🎓

Many of you will already know Jake from his time in the clinic, where he completed countless hours of hands-on training as part of his qualification.

It was a privilege to have him working alongside me - always a good listener, well-mannered, focused and determined.
He brought a calm and professional energy to the clinic, and I have no doubt he’ll go far in this field.

The hard work has paid off - and now, let’s see what the future holds!

Who’s knows you might be seeing a lot more of Jake around the clinic 😉😁

Please join me in wishing him all the best in this next exciting chapter! 💙

This is How Myofascial Restriction Destroys Full - Body Mobility

Fascia: The Hidden Force Behind How You Move and Feel

Think of fascia like a tablecloth under your dinnerware—shift the cloth, and everything on top moves too. That’s how powerful fascia is.

🧠 It wraps every part of your body—muscles, bones, nerves, organs—holding it all together.
💢 When fascia gets restricted (aka a “knot” or trigger point), it pulls everything out of alignment. Movement suffers. So does function.
😮 And here’s the twist: most restrictions are simply dehydrated fascia.

What causes it?
• Prolonged sitting
• Overtraining
• Stress & trauma
• Disconnection from nature

When fascia tightens, your body compensates. Compensation leads to overstimulation → inflammation → pain → injury.

Your fascia is your body’s “suit.” If it’s too tight, you can’t move right.
And if you can’t move right, everything else starts to break down.

💧 Rehydrate.
💆‍♀️ Release.
🧍‍♂️ Realign.

Fix the suit.

Muscle knots form when muscle fibers contract and don’t fully relax, creating tight, tender spots—also called myofascial trigger points. These can develop in the muscle tissue or the fascia (the connective tissue around muscles).

⸻

🧠 Why Do Muscle Knots Form?

Here are the main causes:
1. Overuse – Repetitive motions (like typing, lifting, or intense workouts) can strain muscle fibers.
2. Poor posture – Sitting or standing improperly (especially for long periods) puts uneven stress on muscles.
3. Stress & tension – Emotional stress can cause unconscious muscle tightening, especially in the neck, shoulders, and back.
4. Lack of movement – Sitting too long without stretching or movement decreases circulation and contributes to tightness.
5. Dehydration & poor nutrition – Muscles need water and nutrients to function and recover properly.
6. Injury or trauma – When a muscle is hurt, surrounding muscles may tighten to protect it, forming knots.

😣 What Do They Feel Like?
• Tender or sore when pressed
• May cause pain in other areas (referred pain)
• Feel stiff, achy, or cause limited range of motion
