You know that dull ache that’s always there?

The one that’s fine until you sit too long, drive too far, or hit your next run.
Then it flares. Again.

You stretch it. You roll it. You tell yourself, “It’s not that bad.”

But deep down, you know it’s been there for months.
Maybe years.

You don’t notice it all day.
But you feel it when you bend, when you train, when you get up in the morning.

It’s draining.
Not just physically, but mentally.

That’s the part people don’t talk about — how much pain chips away at your confidence.

The good news?
It doesn’t have to stay like that.

You don’t need a quick fix.
You need someone who understands how your body works, and how to get you moving again without fear.

If you’re tired of living around the same pain, rather than dealing with it, this is your sign to sort it.

If you’re training hard but always feel “tight”, this is for you.

Here’s the truth — tightness isn’t always a flexibility issue.
It’s often your body’s way of saying, “I don’t feel safe there.”
Try this instead:

1. Move more often. Not harder. Sitting all day then smashing the gym once a week won’t cut it.

2. Train strength through range. Split squats, RDLs, Cossack squats — load it where you feel tight.

3. Breathe properly. Shallow breathing keeps tension high.
4. Ease off stretching for pain relief. It’s fine for comfort, but it’s not fixing the cause.

5. Get assessed. Sometimes it’s not your hamstrings at all. It’s how you move.

You don’t need to chase “looseness”. You need confidence in movement.

Do you actually feel tight, or does your body just not trust you yet?

👐 Who Gets Back Pain? 👐

Almost everyone experiences back pain at some point! Several factors increase your risk — and sports massage can help relieve and prevent it.

Common Risk Factors:

🏋️‍♂️ Fitness Level: There isn't any specific desired fitness level for back pain, although people who are more active and live a healthier lifestyle may have lower levels of back pain. Movement and exercise can also be good management options for some people with back pain.

🔹 Acute (a few days to weeks)
🔹 Subacute (4-12 weeks)
🔹 Chronic (over 12 weeks)

How BodyFix therapy can help:

Pain in the body doesn't just come from tissue damage.

There are many things that could be influencing your pain other than actual tissue damage.

Psychological factors such as:

• Stress / anxiety
• Fear
• Self esteem

Social factors such as:

• Relationships
• Peers
• School
• Family circumstances

Biological factors such as:

• Genetics
• Physical health
• Disability

These are just a few of the things that could be influencing your pain. The complexity of pain shows us that reducing pain in a person requires a more individual approach that may require some trial and error and not usually as simple as just 'Poor Posture'.

For more information on how to manage pain in your body, contact a member of the Body Fix Therapy team today.
