" My body feels stiff and tight, who can I go see?"
Massage therapy is a form of treatment that manipulates tight, overworked areas of the body including fascia, muscles, ligaments and tendons. Using a variety of techniques and degrees of pressure, it helps relieve muscle tightness and restore it back to its optimal function and movement.
A massage therapist can use tools such as cupping, heat pack, hot stones, scrapping techniques and even dry needling to relieve muscle tension.
So why do we have muscle tightness and how does it happen? It comes down to the use of our muscle fibres contracting and expanding everyday and how we overload them throughout the day. The more demanding the activity, e.g. exercise and heavy labour, the more the muscle fibres contract and seize, thus, making them unable to expand rapidly causing muscle tightness.
Muscle tightness can restrict movement and limit mobility which stops us from achieving our daily goals to the fullest potential. By applying pressure and utilising the correct techniques, it helps loosen the tight muscles and expands the muscle fibres whilst relieving tension built up in the muscles.

Most people have experienced pins and needles at some point in their lives. Whether it's from sitting in one position for too long or wearing tight shoes, the sensation is usually harmless and goes away relatively quickly. However, pins and needles sometimes signal something more serious, like nerve damage. If you experience pins and needles regularly or for extended periods of time, it's important to see a doctor to rule out any underlying health conditions. Pins and needles are caused by compression or irritation of the nerves. When the nerves are compressed, they can't send normal signals to the brain. This causes the sensation of pins and needles. In most cases, this is temporary and will go away independently. However, if the compression is severe or lasts long, it can lead to permanent nerve damage.
There are many potential causes of back tingling, but one possibility is a chiropractic issue. Chiropractors are trained to identify and treat spine and other musculoskeletal systems problems. If your back tingling is caused by a misaligned spine or other problem, a chiropractor may be able to help. Chiropractic treatment manipulates the spine and other joints to reduce pain and improve function. It is generally considered safe, but there are some risks involved. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your chiropractor before starting treatment. If you are experiencing back tingling, make an appointment with a chiropractor to see if they can help.
More and more people are turning to chiropractors for pain relief.
