HYROX & CrossFit athletes — recovery is your competitive advantage.
High-intensity training causes muscle micro-damage, joint compression, and nervous system fatigue. If recovery can’t keep up, performance drops and injury risk rises.
• Sports massage has been shown to reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), improve circulation, and speed perceived recovery — helping you train harder, sooner.�• Acupuncture stimulates endorphin release and alters pain signalling, reducing musculoskeletal pain and supporting nervous system recovery so you feel fresher between sessions.�• Cupping & IASTM improve blood flow and fascial mobility, with studies showing increased range of motion and reduced tissue stiffness — meaning smoother lifts, better running mechanics, and less restriction.�• METs (Muscle Energy Techniques) improve flexibility and neuromuscular control, correcting imbalances that lead to compensations and overload injuries.�• Joint mobilisations improve joint mechanics and proprioception, allowing deeper squats, stronger positions, and more efficient movement under fatigue.
The benefit to you:�✔ Faster recovery between sessions�✔ Better mobility and movement quality�✔ Reduced injury risk�✔ More consistent training and better performance on race day
Train hard. Recover smarter. Perform longer.�If you want your body to keep up with your training, book your appointment now.

Tension Headaches
😣 Neck and upper back tension can cause chronic headaches.
🔬 Science: Up to 90% of chronic headaches are musculoskeletal, caused by overactive neck and shoulder muscles. Trigger points in the trapezius and suboccipitals refer pain to the head.
🎯 How we help:
* Trigger point therapy and massage
* Postural correction and neck mobility work
* Preventative exercises for daily life

Sciatica / Nerve Pain
🔥 Shooting leg pain while sitting or lifting may indicate sciatic nerve irritation.
🔬 Science: Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed or irritated. Studies show manual therapy combined with exercises reduces pain and improves function.
🎯 How we help:
* Spinal and hip mobilisation
* Soft tissue release for glutes and hamstrings
* Nerve mobility exercises

Lower Back Pain from Lifting
🏋️‍♂️ Lifting heavy objects can strain the lower back if muscles aren’t supported or posture is poor.
🔬 Science: Lumbar spine overload occurs when muscles and ligaments are stressed beyond capacity. Studies confirm that lifting-related back pain is a leading cause of work absence. Strengthening glutes and core can reduce risk by 30%.
🎯 How we help:
* Sports massage to relax overloaded muscles
* Joint mobilisation to improve spinal movement
* Core and movement retraining to prevent recurrence

Desk Worker Shoulder & Neck Pain
💻 Sitting for long periods can cause neck tension, shoulder stiffness, and headaches.
🔬 Science: Prolonged sitting and forward head posture overload trapezius and rhomboid muscles. Research shows 33–54% of office workers report chronic neck or shoulder pain related to desk posture.
🎯 How we help:
* Trigger point therapy to release overactive muscles
* Joint mobilisations to restore shoulder movement
* Postural exercises to prevent recurrence
💡 Don’t wait until pain becomes chronic — proactive care works.

1️⃣ Dry Needling — “Why needles help tight muscles”
�🪡 “Dry needling doesn’t ‘release knots’ — here’s what it actually does 👇”
The Science (simple + accurate)�Dry needling works mainly through the nervous system and local tissue response, not by “breaking muscle.”
When a needle is inserted into a sensitive muscle area:�• It stimulates sensory nerves�• This can reduce pain signals sent to the brain�• It may improve muscle activation and coordination�• It increases local blood flow and chemical signaling
Research shows dry needling can help reduce pain and improve function — especially when combined with movement and rehab.
Who It Helps�✔️ Muscle tightness & trigger points�✔️ Neck & shoulder pain�✔️ Low back pain�✔️ Repetitive strain discomfort�✔️ General muscle soreness
Why It’s Not a Standalone Fix�Dry needling can calm pain, but lasting results come from:�➡️ Movement�➡️ Strength�➡️ Proper load & activity management
CTA�Pain relief is the first step — not the finish line.�📩 DM to book an assessment

🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️That post-run stiffness? Totally normal — but not inevitable.”
DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) happens when your muscles repair and adapt after exercise.
Sports massage, infrared therapy, and hydration can help speed that recovery process.
