🍑 Glutes & Hamstrings 🍑
Your glutes and hamstrings do a lot more for you than just powering your workouts. 🍑🦵
• They stabilise your pelvis when you walk, stand, or lift
• They support hip extension and protect your knees
• They’re constantly working, even when you don’t notice it
That’s why they’re one of the most common areas I treat on the table.
Tightness can come from training hard or from sitting too much — both overload these muscles in different ways. When they’re restricted, you might notice:
⚡ Low back tension
⚡ Knee discomfort
⚡ Reduced mobility in squats, hinges or lunges
Sports massage helps release that tension, improve blood flow, and restore movement so your body feels smoother in and out of the gym and in your functional day to day movement.
Pairing treatment with mobility work (hip bridges, hamstring stretches, glute activation drills) helps the effects last longer. 👌
So whether you’re lifting, running, or sitting at a desk all day — don’t ignore your glutes and hammies. They’re working harder than you think.”
A session on the table can make all the difference- DM to enquire 👌
