Targeting calf muscles with dry needling today 🦵

Great for runners and anyone with calf pain, cramping or lower‑leg muscle tension.

“Muscle knots” – what are they, really?

You know that tight, tender spot in your shoulder that feels like it’s always “there”?
The one you notice most when you finally slow down and take a breath?

A lot of people call these muscle knots.
In clinic, I usually call them myofascial trigger points – small, sensitive areas in a tight band of muscle that don’t fully switch off and can feel sore, achy, or a bit “stuck”.

Why do they show up?
Very often, they’re your body’s way of saying:
“I’ve been asked to do the same thing, for too long, without a break.”

Common triggers include:

Hours at a desk without moving around
Training hard without enough recovery time
Stress that you “carry” in your neck, shoulders or back

Over time, parts of a muscle can tighten up and stay that way, so the area feels heavy, tense or restricted instead of open and free.

One gentle thing you can start today
Think: easy movement and small resets rather than “perfect posture”.

Change your position regularly, especially if you sit a lot

Take short walks and let your shoulders soften away from your ears

Add a few slow, comfortable stretches that feel good, not forced

These tiny movement breaks help your circulation, give your muscles a bit more “space”, and stop those sensitive spots from building up.

With specific pressure and soft‑tissue techniques, I can help to:

Soften those sensitive knots
Improve local blood flow
Help the area move and feel more comfortable again

My aim is that you leave the session feeling lighter and freer, and that you go home with one or two simple things you can do yourself to keep that feeling going in your day‑to‑day life.

Sports massage appointments are now available on Saturdays.

Appointments can be booked via the website.
