Plantar fasciitis is when the bottom of your foot hurts, especially around the heel and is at its worst first thing in the morning. It’s common for runners or people who jump into too much exercise too fast. To prevent this pain, wear shoes with good arch support, stretch your feet before you exercise, and increase your activity slowly.

Plantar fasciitis often has its root in the calf muscles so neuromuscular massage can go a great way to relieving the source of the pain in your feet.

Rotator cuff. Spring sports such as baseball, softball, lacrosse, golf, and tennis all place a considerable amount of stress on the rotator cuff. This may cause injuries that weaken the shoulder and impair performance, both in competition and in everyday activities like brushing your teeth or getting dressed. Regardless of an athlete’s age or skill level – recreational, high school, college, or even professional – maintaining a healthy rotator cuff is critical.

A rotator cuff injury doesn’t always mean surgery. Neuromuscular massage can help support healing and rehabilitation.

Stretching Mistakes

Posted on by

We should be stretching to stay limber and flexible, but if we stretch in a way that overstresses muscles or tendons, we can cause strains or even sprains while stretching.
Not all injuries come as a result of a single, bad stretch, either. Repetitive stretching that’s improperly done can cause injury over time.
Ideally, we should not wait until an injury occurs to begin stretching to relieve the pain or regain mobility. We should stretch every day.
As we age, we begin to lose flexibility and range of motion, especially in the shoulders and low back, which can then lead to other mobility issues.
Fortunately, age-related loss of flexibility can be reversed with a daily stretching program.
