I've always been the active sort.
But since wfp I've had muscle knots forming across the tops of my shoulders, just above the shoulder blade. It can make upstairs poling quite painful.
A few years ago I decided to go to a sports therapist massager. I now go every month - 6wks. It makes a huge difference. He takes out the knots that build up across the shoulders and neck.
If its been a jumping over gates week, he massages out the knot in my calf that I seem to get at times.
For me, I think it is money well spent. My body is as important as my van. Vans need maintenance and services. It helps keep them reliable and performing well. I can't work if my van is off the road!
I would recommend it!! I pay out £30. It used to be £40, but a newer lad started in the practice and he doesn't talk as much as the previous fella, who stopped working when he talked. So, better value
if you think about it, our muscles are linked together. If you injure or pull one, your body compensates. It then has the ability to over stress another muscle. This can cause greater problems, which may not be felt immediately, but over time.
Sooooo, get niggles sorted. It's money well spent not wasted.
