Soreness down the outside of your thigh?

The IT band itself isn’t something we can simply “massage loose”, but tension in the muscles around the hip and thigh can contribute to how the area feels.

Understanding what’s actually causing the tension is an important part of a targeted treatment.

Quads feeling tight after training? 🏃‍♀️🏋️‍♂️

Your quads work hard during running, cycling, squats and everyday movement. When they’re feeling tight, it can affect how comfortably you move.

A focused treatment can help ease muscular tension and support recovery.

A lovely 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review from Linda!
I love hearing how much of a difference massage can make, especially when you’ve been putting those aches down to “old age”! 😂
Thanks for your kind words and recommendation Linda, it’s made my day 🧡

It’s easy to focus on the exact spot that feels tight and assume that’s where the problem lies.

But your upper back works as part of a much bigger movement system.

Looking at the surrounding areas can help identify what might be contributing to that familiar ache or tension.

Sometimes treating the area that hurts isn’t enough.

So proud to support this brilliant event and the Björnstrxng team. 🙌 Absolute machines 👊

Twelve hours. Six runners. 137 laps. 164.4km covered. Team Björnstrxng took on One More Lap to raise money for Kids’ Village. They finished with £1,480 raised and the title secured in the tightest finish in the competition’s history.

Hips feeling tight?

Long periods of sitting, running and strength training can all contribute to tension around the front of the hips.

Targeted treatment can help reduce muscular tension and restore comfortable movement.

A lovely review from Jennie - thank you so much! ❤️

It’s incredibly rewarding to know that after living with a niggle for so long, you left your treatment with improved movement and, most importantly, less pain.

I’m so pleased I could help! 🙌

“I stretch my hips all the time, but they still feel tight.”

Sound familiar?

Sometimes repeatedly stretching the area isn’t addressing what’s actually contributing to the feeling of tightness.

Looking at how the surrounding muscles are working can give us a much better picture.

Sometimes you don’t need to stretch harder - you need to understand why it feels tight.

Tight glutes? 🍑

Whether it’s from sitting, training or simply doing too much, tight glutes can affect how comfortably your hips and lower back move.

A focused sports massage can help ease muscular tension and get you moving more freely.
