If you feel like your fitness goals keep getting hijacked by the same recurring tightness… you’re not imagining it.
Most people think tight muscles are just “stubborn” and needs more massage.
But the body doesn’t do random, tightness is usually a compensation.
Something else isn’t moving well, so that muscle steps up and works overtime.
I see this all the time in clinic. Someone comes in saying,
“Doc, I stretch and foam roll every day yet the the tightness and knots are still there.”
And 9 times out of 10, the problem isn’t the muscle at all
it’s a joint that’s not loading properly, a pattern that’s dysfunctional, or an old injury that’s still compensated for.
If this sounds like you, drop me a message or book a visit.
