SRB Sports Therapy

Why train one side at a time? 👀

Training unilaterally can help you:
- Identify and work on strength differences between sides
- Build strength without your dominant side taking over
- Improve single leg stability and control
- Transfer well to running, walking and sport, where we’re constantly working one side at a time
- Challenge coordination and trunk stability
- Build more balanced, resilient movement over time

Think split squats, single leg RDLs, step ups, single arm rows and presses.

You don’t need to make your entire programme unilateral, but including some single side work alongside your bilateral lifts can be a really useful way to build strength, control and confidence through each side individually.

Static vs Dynamic Glute Release

Your glutes work hard through training, running, sitting, and everyday movement so giving them a little attention is an essential!

In this video I’m using two simple techniques:

Static release - holding pressure on a tighter or more sensitive area and allowing the muscle to gradually relax.

Dynamic release - maintaining pressure while moving the hip through range, adding movement into the release.

These can be useful before or after training to:
• Reduce that feeling of tightness
• Improve comfort through hip movement
• Explore areas that feel restricted
• Get the hips moving before a session

Pressure doesn’t need to be brutal to be effective, work within a tolerable level and keep the movement controlled.

That “I carry all my tension in my shoulders” feeling… 👀

Upper traps and back feeling tight, heavy or constantly switched on?

Cupping is one technique I can incorporate into your session to help reduce that feeling of tension and get the area moving more comfortably 🙌🏼

Treatment is always tailored to what you need, cupping is just one of the tools we can use along the way.

Feeling tight through your hips or mid back?

These areas often work together more than you’d think. Long periods of sitting, heavy training, running or simply being in the same positions all day can leave the glutes, deep hip muscles and thoracic region feeling stiff and restricted.

Sports massage can help to:
✨ Reduce muscular tension
✨ Improve mobility through the hips & mid back
✨ Encourage better movement and rotation
✨ Support recovery from training

Feeling “tight” doesn’t always mean you just need to stretch. Strength, movement variety and recovery all play a part too.

Tight traps? Your shoulder blades might need some attention too 👀

This release focuses on the upper traps and muscles around the scapula, helping to reduce that heavy, tight feeling across the neck, shoulders and upper back.

Hands on treatment can help to:
✨ Reduce muscular tension
✨ Improve movement around the shoulder blade
✨ Increase local circulation
✨ Support comfortable shoulder and upper-back movement
✨ Complement your strength and mobility work
