Bodymedics Clinical Massage

A client came in with severe hip tightness that was affecting posture and making it harder to walk comfortably. The quads and hamstrings were extremely tight, the calves were sensitive with trigger points, and the muscles along the front of the shin were pulling enough to cause occasional calf spasms. There was also a lot of tension around the knee from the quadriceps being so restricted.

Sina understood how discouraging it can feel when tightness starts getting in the way of normal movement. He created a clear plan to loosen the deep hip muscles and release the strain running through the front and back of the legs. Work around the knee helped ease the pulling from the quads, and focused pressure and stretching helped calm the calf spasms and relax the lower leg. Releasing the tight muscles along the shin supported smoother movement in the ankle and foot.

Sina also noticed that the client’s upper body was tense from long hours at a computer, which will be addressed in future sessions to support better overall posture.

With continued sessions, deeper hip work and psoas release can improve mobility even further, while gentle stretching and compression around the calves and Achilles can help the legs stay loose and comfortable between visits.

𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬?

Many people come to Bodymedics feeling weighed down by tight shoulders and an aching upper back. One recent client arrived with constant knots, a stiff mid-back, and a sore neck that made everyday movement uncomfortable. They just wanted to feel normal again.

The issue was clear. Long hours sitting, looking down at screens, and general overuse had caused the muscles to tighten and stay that way. This left them feeling tense, limited, and frustrated.

This is where having a guide helps. Our therapist, Karimah, stepped in to show the client a simple, effective path toward relief.

A clear plan was created. Karimah used gentle pressure on the trigger points along the shoulder blades to help muscles relax. She worked across the shoulders to break up knots and used release techniques on the chest, shoulders, and neck to ease forward pull. She then added deeper pressure and stretching through the upper back to help the client move more comfortably. The client also received simple home stretches to help the results last.

The outcome was noticeable. The tight spots softened quickly, movement felt easier, and the client left feeling lighter, looser, and much more relaxed.

With simple stretching and better posture habits, they can keep that tension from building up again. If upper back and shoulder tightness is getting in your way, Bodymedics can help you find lasting relief.

Unraveling Hip Tightness: A Pathway to Recovery!

Picture this: You’ve just wrapped up a thrilling game of basketball, your heart is still racing, but then you sense that all-too-familiar tightness in your hips. A recent client, an avid basketball player, faced this issue after an intense weekend of back-to-back games. Seeking relief from a nagging pull in their hip flexors and a tighter-than-usual right hamstring, they turned to our expert therapist, Gerardo.

Gerardo identified that although their alignment seemed okay, the hip flexors were undeniably tight. He took a methodical approach, gently working to release the muscle tension. Through targeted techniques, he focused on the hip flexors, quads, hamstrings, and inner thighs, utilizing assisted stretching to lengthen these muscles without risking injury.

Gerardo didn’t stop there. He also targeted the low back and pelvis, enhancing mobility and creating a smoother movement chain in the hip joints.

The client felt their hamstring flexibility equalized, and the persistent tightness faded significantly. This wasn’t just a temporary fix; it was an essential step toward long-term recovery. To ensure they maintain mobility, Gerardo prescribed a dedicated stretching routine specifically for their hamstrings and inner thighs, setting them up for success in their next game.

Don’t let tight hips sideline you—reclaim your agility now!

Patient Success Story!

Our patient Laura started working with our Sandy Springs therapist Monique recently. Laura came to us with a lack of mobility in her right arm which prevented her from doing her usual upper body workouts 💪🏼
After just 3 sessions, Laura's range of motion was improved by an estimated 70%, and her pain level was cut in half!
Laura is continuing with Monique to finish off the work on her upper body to get her back to feeling her best.
Laura, we're so happy you've found relief, and great job Monique!
