❄️ Colder Weather & Muscle Tightness — Here’s What’s Really Happening
When temperatures drop, your body instinctively constricts blood vessels to preserve core warmth. That means less circulation to muscles and soft tissues, causing them to stiffen and shorten.
Cold also triggers a protective response — your muscles contract to generate heat and guard joints. Over time, that tension adds up, leading to:
• Increased stiffness and limited range of motion
• More soreness after workouts
• Higher risk of strains, especially in the neck, shoulders, and lower back
Massage therapy helps counteract this by improving circulation, tissue elasticity, and neuromuscular relaxation, restoring fluid movement and helping your body adapt to cooler temps.
🔥 Stay warm, stay mobile, and keep your muscles ready for everything winter throws your way.
