This is one of the most misunderstood areas of fitness training. Corrective exercises aren't the most exciting things to do at the gym, but I can guarantee that if you regulary performed them you would feel a hell of alot better in your everyday life, and hardly ever get those niggling injuries from the gym. In a 3 part series I will show you exactly how to BULLETPROOF your body....
Almost all chronic joint pain or overuse injuries are caused by tightness and restrictions in the muscles above and below the joint in question.
In other words, it’s not about PAIN SITE… it’s about PAIN SOURCE!!
Knee pain is often caused by restrictions in the tissue of your calves and front/inner/outer thighs.
Back pain is often caused by restrictions in your glutes and hamstrings.
Shoulder pain is often caused by restrictions in your thoracic spine (T-Spine), chest, and lats.
Tissue quality describes the general health of your muscles and the interconnected web of fascia that surrounds them all.
Over time we develop scar tissue, adhesions, knots, and trigger points due to high-intensity training, overuse, and/or extended periods of sitting.
The best way to address this is to self-massage sore, tight, and restricted muscle groups of the body to regenerate tissue both pre and post-workout to promote injury reduction and allow for a smoother, more productive workout.
In addition, self-massage before stretching allows for a better, more complete stretch by smoothing out the knots and you should always precede flexibility work with tissue quality for best results.
