Most people think tightness or recurring pain comes from muscles alone — but much of what you feel is actually rooted in the connective tissue underneath.
Connective tissue includes muscles, ligaments, tendons, and the deeper supportive layers that help the body move the way it’s meant to. When these tissues become restricted, overworked, or irritated, the body can feel tight, stiff, or unbalanced — even when you stretch regularly.
Over the next few posts, we’ll explore how connective tissue works, why it matters, and how deeper layers of the body can influence everyday movement, posture, and long-term comfort.
A little understanding can go a long way toward improving how you feel.
