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.

❗️Whether you are an athlete, injured or just struggling with day to day movement, soft tissue remedial massage has been scientifically proven to address physical and mental health ❗️

The top five benefits of soft tissue remedial massage (STRM) include:
* Effective in pain reduction, control and management
* Reduction in stress
* Supports and aids injury recovery and rehabilitation
* Improves flexibility and range of movement
* Helps reduce soreness and stiffness in spasmatic muscles.

…plus many many more. Proven to support and assist in the management of so many medical conditions.

STRM focuses on three body systems the muscular, skeletal and central nervous system, all of which are inter linked. It focuses on realigning deep layers of muscle fibres and connective tissue, which support the skeletal system in movement. It physically breaks down knots or adhesions which then helps to relieve pain and restore normal function of the three systems and leads to improved range of movement and functionality of the body as a whole.

Look after your body, it’s the only place you have to live.

Listen to your body when it whispers, and you wont have to hear it scream!

Pain hurts, but pain also motivates a reaction, a preventative, alerting us to stop and listen, generally to stop pushing our bodies. The body chooses pain to reveal options and lessons to us in how to react, change, improve, treat and heal.

How would we detect injury unless it physically hurt? Pain is a form of communication for our body being able to talk to us, to take action and a means of prevention from more damage and harm.

Muscular niggles and injuries are indicators that we are not efficient posturally, biomechanically, moving or training effectively. These indicators may build up gradually over time, it’s your choice as to whether you listen.

Deep tissue remedial massage has numerous benefits, working restoratively with the muscular, skeletal and central nervous system, in addressing issues, preventing niggles developing into further injury / complications and generally ….. restoring your body back to factory settings.

Is your ankle and foot resulting in you not moving freely and with ease, compromising joint function for mobility and stability?

Each joint within the body has the role of either mobility or stability, dependent upon its functional requirement. Joint mobility is the ability of a joint to move freely through its range of motion. Ligaments and muscles need to be strong enough to move the joint, but not so strong that they restrict movement for joint mobility to be effective. A stable joint has enough ligament and muscle strength to keep it in a fixed position but is also flexible enough to move. Soft tissue dysfunction can affect efficiency of foot and ankle function.

The postural chain or kinetic chain is formed between joints, and just like a bicycle chain, if one link isn’t working properly, then the output or function of the rest of the chain is compromised.

The ankle joint is the lowest ( inferior) joint of the body and the one that sustains the most force.

When the ankle joint becomes restricted / less mobile, the knee joint gets impacted, compensating becoming less stable and more mobile , the hip compensates and becomes more stable (less mobile) … hence their role and purpose switches from mobility to stability or stability to mobility!

Ankle immobility can occur for a number of reasons including:
1) injury
2) muscle imbalance
3) muscle tightness

Movement, mobility and muscles.

With 206 bones in the body and 623 (ish) muscles, the muscular system and skeletal system work in partnership to provide movement.

This complex “infrastructure” needs to be in good working order to achieve and meet the demands of the body. Skeletal muscle attach to bones by either tendons or ligaments allowing joints to bend and movement occurs.

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.

Soft tissue tissue remedial massage / sports massage treats those dysfunctions and restores the body and its complex infrastructure of muscles “back to factory settings”, allowing us to move freely and with ease.

Dull annoying hip pain, radiating into the thigh?

The hip joint is one of the strongest and most flexible joints in the body, giving us power, stability, enabling us to withstand impact, force and load.

Pain around the hip and pelvis can be as a result of soft tissue (muscles, tendons, bursae and fascia) poor health and consequently dysfunction, tending to develop more gradually.

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome ( GTPS) can result from:
*repetitive strain movement patterns causing degenerative wear and tear
* long periods of single leg activity and weight bearing
* instability of the hip, causing the hip muscles to tighten as working overtime to try and stabilise hip
* sporting injury.

Clients complain that pain and discomfort can worsen when getting up having been seated for long periods of time or at night.

Hagley Sports Massage works with the client from assessment through to exercise prescription, using different treatment modalities and getting to the source of the problem not purely treating the area of discomfort.

How will deep tissue remedial massage benefit me?

Deep tissue remedial massage and soft tissue therapy helps the body to recover and move better on a physiological level.
Whether that be from training and participating in sport or purely functioning on a day to day basis.

Knots, adhesions, scar tissue ... are all signs of cellular trauma which will affect the body's biomechanics, impacting on its range of movement and ultimately create compensation strategies that affect movement. Continually operating with
"issues with your tissues" will result in limitations of movement affecting joints, thus reducing strength and stability in the body.

Deep tissue remedial massage is restorative and helps the body "reset back to factory settings", preventing niggles developing into injuries.

The best way to de stress your body, the connective tissue, muscles, tendons, ligaments is with regular deep tissue remedial massage.

Research indicates that upwards of 90% of diseases and conditions are linked to stress, and nothing ages us more internally and externally than stress. Stress affections the body's ability to move freely and function properly.

Deep tissue remedial massage gradually relaxes, lengthens and removes adhesions (knots) in our fascia and muscle fibres, effectively restoring full mobility in our muscles, enabling our joints to move more freely and efficiently.

Mobility, Agility and Stability…

Exercise is more important than ever as our lives have become more sedentary. We need to exercise to maintain our skills of balance, mobility and strength to ensure life’s demands do not exceed our physical ability. The real purpose of exercise is to enhance our ability to move and function in daily life.

Most exercises we perform have a functional movement purpose:
* deadlift = bending over to pick up something
* lunge = get up / down from the floor
* squat = how to sit on a chair / settee / toilet!

Lacking the ability to activate and utilise the correct muscles, tendons and ligament, for such movements leads to poor performance, pain, injury and dysfunction.

Are you moving badly because you are in pain or are you in pain because you are moving badly?

Hagley Sports Massage assesses and treats the body as a whole, not just treating the issue but works with the client to identify the root cause and source. HSM works with your muscular, skeletal and central nervous system to ensure you are moving efficiently and able to live, function and exercise as efficiently as possible.

“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.

Stress may never reach those physiologically detrimental levels where the immune system is suppresssd or the immune system is sent into an alarm state. 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.
