Is Your Pain Muscle, Joint, or Nerve and How Can You Tell?
Understanding the type of pain you’re feeling can make a huge difference in how you treat it — and how quickly you get relief.
Muscle Pain
• Feels: tight, achy, stiff, knotty, “pulled”
• Why it happens: stress, posture, overuse, tension
• Massage helps by softening tight tissue + releasing trigger points
Joint Pain
• Feels: deep ache inside a joint, stiffness, clicking, weakness
• Why it happens: inflammation, misalignment, reduced mobility
• Massage supports joint movement + eases surrounding muscles
Nerve Pain
• Feels: sharp, shooting, burning, tingling, numbness (often travelling)
• Why it happens: nerve compression, disc issues, tight muscles pressing on a nerve
• Massage helps reduce muscular pressure + calms the nervous system
You don’t have to guess and you don’t have to put up with pain.
In your session, we will assess what type of pain you’re experiencing and tailor your treatment to exactly what your body needs.
