Good morning 👋 have a lovely day everyone !

Friday feedback- it’s great to hear clients telling me there aches & pains have gone after regular treatments !!

🙌 it usually means your body is responding well to the massage. There are a few physiological and biomechanical reasons why your back and hips might not be aching anymore after regular sports massage:

🧠 1. Reduced Muscle Tension

Sports massage helps release chronic muscle tightness and trigger points. Over time, this:
🙌Improves blood flow to muscles
🙌Flushes out metabolic waste (like lactic acid)
🙌Allows muscles to relax and return to their optimal resting length
Result: Less stiffness and soreness in your back and hips.

🩸 2. Improved Circulation & Recovery

Regular massage increases blood and lymphatic flow, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to tissues. This speeds up healing of small muscle strains and reduces inflammation both common causes of pain after physical activity.

⚙️ 3. Better Joint Mobility

Massage around the hips and lower back can release tension in surrounding muscles (like the glutes, hip flexors, and lower back extensors), allowing the joints to move more freely. Improved range of motion means less strain on muscles during daily movement or exercise.

🧍‍♂️ 4. Postural Rebalancing

Many back and hip aches come from postural imbalances (e.g., sitting long hours, uneven muscle use). Regular treatments help correct these by loosening overactive muscles and reactivating underused ones. Over time, your posture becomes more aligned, which prevents recurring pain.

🧘 5. Nervous System Adaptation

Massage also has a calming effect on the nervous system, lowering muscle tone and reducing pain sensitivity. With consistent sessions, your body becomes less reactive to stress or tension build-up.

💪 6. Complementary Effects

If you’ve been stretching, strengthening, or improving your movement patterns (even subconsciously), the massage might be reinforcing those positive changes.

In short:
Your massages have likely improved tissue health, mobility, and muscle balance — meaning your body no longer triggers pain signals in those areas.
