Ever had that tight little spot in a muscle that just will not shift?

That is what most people call a ‘knot’, and it is basically a small, contracted area of muscle that is stuck. Left untreated, it can cause pain and limit movement.

Massage therapy breaks these down, improves circulation and helps restore normal muscle function. If you have a knot that just will not budge, let us sort it.

The run-up to Christmas can be non-stop, shopping, work deadlines, family commitments, and everything in between.

It’s no surprise many people arrive at the festive break feeling tired and tense.

A sports massage isn’t just for athletes. It’s an effective way to:
✔ Relieve muscle tightness from long days at a desk or on your feet
✔ Improve circulation and recovery after exercise
✔ Reduce stress and give you a well-earned moment of calm

If you’d like to head into the holidays feeling lighter and more relaxed, appointments are available at our Durham clinic.

A little reset before the new year can go a long way.

Never had a sports massage before?

We start by chatting through your symptoms and goals, then assess any areas of tightness or restricted movement. From there, we tailor the treatment to your body, whether that is deep tissue work, stretching or gentle release.

You will leave feeling looser, lighter and ready to move better. And no, it is not just pain and elbows!

When the temperature drops, it’s easy to slow down but joints and muscles respond best when they stay active.

For people with arthritis or ongoing joint pain, regular low-impact movement can make a real difference.

Walking, stretching, or simple exercises at home all help to reduce stiffness, improve circulation, and maintain strength.

Here are a few tips to support your joints during the colder months:

🧣 Layer up to keep warm and comfortable
🚶‍♂️ Try to include short bursts of movement throughout the day
💧 Keep hydrated, even if you don’t feel as thirsty as in summer

If you’d like tailored advice, treatment, or support, our physio team in Durham are here to help keep you moving through the festive season and beyond.

Foam rollers are handy, but they can only go so far.

They are great for daily muscle care, but they cannot target tight areas or go deep like a therapist can. A proper sports massage works into those knots and gets your muscles moving properly again.

Keep the foam roller, but come in when you need the real thing.

Netball is fast, dynamic, and full of quick changes in direction. But all that jumping, sprinting, and pivoting can take a toll on your knees, ankles, and Achilles tendons.

Common netball injuries include ACL tears, ankle sprains, and knee pain from repetitive impact. Physiotherapy can help improve strength, stability, and movement efficiency—keeping you strong on the court while reducing injury risk.

At JP Physio in Durham, we help netball players recover from injuries and prevent them from coming back. Whether you need rehab, strength work, or recovery support, we’ll get you moving with confidence again.

Skipping a warm-up might seem harmless, but it’s a quick way to get injured.

A proper warm-up gets your blood flowing, wakes up your muscles, and preps your body for what’s coming. It’s about working smarter, not just harder.

At JP Physio, we help you build warm-up routines that work for your body and your sport. Small change, big results.

It’s easy to get confused between rehab and strength & conditioning—especially when they can look pretty similar. So, which one do you need?

🔹 Rehabilitation is for when you're recovering from an injury or dealing with pain. It focuses on regaining movement, reducing discomfort, and rebuilding strength in a controlled way.

🔹 Strength & conditioning is about improving performance and preventing injuries before they happen. It’s focused on building muscle, improving endurance, and helping your body move efficiently under pressure.

Both are important, but if you're dealing with pain or struggling with an old injury, rehab should always come first. Once you're moving well and pain-free, you can build strength and performance without risk.

At JP Physio, we offer both physiotherapy-led rehab and strength programmes, so whether you’re coming back from an injury or looking to improve your training, we can help you stay on track.

The name might sound sporty, but you do not need to be a runner or footballer to benefit.

Sports massage is for anyone who moves. That includes office workers, busy parents, gym goers and anyone dealing with muscle aches, tension or general tightness.

If you use your body every day, massage can help it feel and move better.

Posture might not cause problems overnight, but over time, it adds up.

Whether you’re at a desk all day or spending hours on the sofa, poor posture can lead to stiffness, pain, and long-term issues.

At JP Physio, we assess your posture and help you make small tweaks that can have a big impact. Your back will thank you later.
