What Your Body’s Tension Might be Saying about Your Life;
It’s easy to think of muscle tension as a purely physical thing — maybe you slept funny, or worked out hard, or spent too long at your desk.
But at Astral Fitness, we see another side to it: your body tells the truth about your life.
Your body tells the truth about your life
That tension in your jaw? Could be clenching through stress. Tight hips? Maybe long hours sitting in your car and at your desk, or holding emotions in. That stiff upper back? A sign you’re bracing more than you realise.
If you move your body regularly — whether that’s training, walking your dogs, gardening, or chasing after your kids — massage should be part of your performance toolkit, not just your recovery plan.
As massage therapists, Jen and I often see clients walk in with “that one sore spot,” only to uncover a bigger story of built-up strain — both physical and emotional. Sports Massage doesn’t just release muscles; it brings awareness.
The Importance of Sports Massage
It reconnects you with your body and gives you the space to actually listen to it.
Next time you feel “tight,” ask yourself:
- What’s been weighing on me?
- Have I moved enough lately?
- Where am I holding on too much?
If you’re not sure what your body is trying to say, don’t worry — we’re trained to read it with you. Book a sports massage session and let’s explore what’s really going on under the surface.
You can easily book in online at www.astralfitness.co.uk and if you have any questions beforehand, do not hesitate to hit the contact buttons on the website. Thank you for reading this weeks blog, The Importance of Sports Massage.
