đŸ„¶Does the cold weather affect my muscles, tendons and joints?
 YES!

The cold weather causes our muscles to lose more heat as blood flow is re routed to the core to keep warm. With reduced circulation to the limbs they become stiffer, less flexible, and more prone to injury. Consequently our muscles lose their full range of motion capability due to stiffness, feeling as though it’s harder to move
 resulting in an increase in perceived pain.

The cold weather results in oxygen being more tightly bound to the haemoglobin and does not release easily. This slower rate of release leads to a lower amount of oxygen being available to the muscles making them contract more
 hence why we feel stiff.

Synovial fluid (which is present at the joint acting as it’s lubricant) thickens in the cold weather resulting in less lubrication and this more pain at the joint. Sadly arthritic joints react more in the cold weather.

Keep warm, wrap up and wear appropriate clothing for the conditions, take care of your body and its complex intricate network of tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints.

Weak Muscles and imbalances affecting your joints?

Muscular imbalances affect the body’s natural movement, causing stress, strain and misalignment at joints. Weak or tight muscles can cause disruption, pulling the joint out of its natural position leading to increased pain and discomfort, reduced range of movement and lead to long term joint degeneration.

How though?
1. The “muscular team work” falls apart with tight or weak muscles surrounding the joint pulling on the joint, compromising its stability and movement.
2. The body will compensate recruiting new muscles to enable movement at the joint. This leads to new “compensatory issues”.
3. Increased pressure on joint and nerves from misalignment.
4. Wear and tear of cartilage from joint shifting position from dominant / weak muscle support.

Soft tissue remedial therapy, sports massage - from assessment to implementing an individual treatment plan. Restore your body back to moving efficiently , through either day to day movement or in your sporting activities. Call

Fact: If the muscular system isn’t working properly, neither will your skeletal system.

The muscular system supports the skeletal framework. Anatomically different groups of muscles, connecting joints and interrelated body parts work together to perform movement with different sections of the skeletal system.

Muscles keep bones in place and help with movement by pulling and contracting on the bones. The muscular system supports the body’s movement and stability, and consists of fascia, muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue.

So, if the muscular system isn’t working properly, then neither will your skeletal system. We simply will not be able to move freely, properly or efficiently, and end up injured.

“How often should I book a Soft Tissue Remedial Massage?”
so many benefits and so many reasons why!

The answer very much depends upon the reason as to why you are seeking treatment: addressing an injury, looking to improve athletic performance, address postural issues and dysfunctions, dealing with chronic pain, preventative / maintenance massage, pre / post competition / event treatment, stress?

People who get regular massages demonstrate a reduction in pain, muscular tension, improvement in posture, greater range of movement of muscles, ability of muscles to withhold more strength and length, stress and general health and well being (to name just a few).

Frequent treatment can improve your quality of life by alleviating stress in our connective tissues and body. Experts say most disease is stress related and nothing ages us faster inside or out than the effects of stress. Soft tissue remedial massage is a great way to take charge and help reduce the accumulation of stress improving overall health.
Consistency and frequency will pay dividends.

Soft tissue remedial massage allows you to be more in tune with your body, move more freely and efficiently and help you live a fitter, happier and healthier life.

Muscular knots or adhesions are clusters of painful muscle fires in the connective tissue, detrimental to the function of the muscle fibres.

Knots occur when muscle fibres or fascia tense / tighten resulting in reduced range of movement, and dysfunction, with inefficiency in muscular pertormance.

Trigger points or knots can be either active or latent. Active points don't have to be pressed to cause pain and discomfort whereas, latent trigger points need to be pressed to "feel the pain".

Knots or adhesions occur for a multitude of reasons, examples being:
* Stress and tension
* Training load and injury
* Poor posture
* Poor learned muscle movements and patterns.
* Repetitive strain movements

Soft tissue remedial massage is very effective in addressing knots, adhesions and associated issues. Treatment options and technique work with the muscles in “unraveling” the knots, “ironing” them out to restore them back to an efficient state and manner in which to function.

To discuss symptoms and treatment options call Hagley Sports Massage on 07788

Remedial massage treats musculoskeletal imbalances, injuries, targeting pain, discomfort and dysfunction within our bodies. Treatment not only addresses the discomfort, but aims to determine the source of the issue, working with the musculoskeletal and central nervous system.

Adaptable in intensity, it can incorporate soft tissue manipulation, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, deep tissue massage and muscle specific stretching. Massage therapy, tailored specifically to you, your specific conditions and health needs.

Remedial massage significantly improves muscle health function, reducing pain; regular treatments can enhance athletic performance and speed up recovery times. A systematic review highlighted its effectiveness in treating musculoskeketal pain promoting relaxation( Smith et al 2018).

Preventative Care and Maintenance Treatment

Preventative care has never been so important what with rising waiting times to see medical practitioners and stress on the NHS. So many people “put off” addressing issues with their bodies, muscular skeletal systems, waiting until they are injured, in a lot of pain and side lined.

If your car spluttered or wasn’t working one morning, I’m sure you would call the garage straight away? So why not with our bodies?

Soft tissue manual therapy, remedial therapy, sports massage can:
✅ Assess and identify muscular imbalances and dysfunctions
✅ Prevent niggles developing into injuries
✅ Maintain the efficient and effective functionality of the muscular, skeletal and central nervous system
✅ Keep you moving freely and confidently
✅Allowing you to function daily, work and participate in the activities you enjoy.

See it as a MOT or service for your body.

Don’t wait for niggles to develop and stop you living your life. Your future self will thank you for it.

⚠ Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness September 15-19th ⚠

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is the most common form of arthritis affecting circa 1% of the UK population. It is an auto immune disease which attacks the joint lining called the Synovium, causing chronic inflammation of the joints and connective tissue in the body. RA is very different to Osteoarthritis as it can also attack internal organs I.e. heart, lungs, spine and eyes.

Causes of RA are not fully known but gender and age reveal some interesting facts. Women are 3x more likely to be affected by RA, and it can strike at any age generally >16 years old.

Soft tissue remedial therapy is very effective in supporting RA patients in:
* Pain management
* Reducing stiffness of the joints
* Improving the strength and efficiency of the muscles supporting the joints
* Improving the range of movement and mobility of the joints
* Working with the central nervous system and parasympathetic system reducing tension and restoring calm.

Movement is medicine! Soft tissue remedial therapy positively supports RA patients with their on going condition and treatment plan.

The most valuable relationship you will ever have is with your mind, your body, and your heart.

When these three are in harmony, life flows. Your choices become clearer, your habits align with your goals, and your relationships grow healthier. Your body connection is complete.

Harmony doesn’t mean forcing everything to go your way. Some seasons of life demand action — courage, effort, and persistence. Others call for surrender — patience, trust, and letting go.

✹ Wisdom is knowing the difference.
It is learning when to step forward with strength and when to step back with faith.

When you master this inner dance, you stop fighting life and start flowing with it. And in that flow, everything else begins to shift — effortlessly, naturally, beautifully.

Happy Monday.
