Muscle Education Hub
Know the pattern. Fix the problem.
The body holds 640 named muscles. Pain patterns aren’t random — they’re signals. This library explains common muscular patterns, where pain refers, and why your body compensates. Use it to understand what you’re feeling and why targeted work matters.

Recovery Education
Why the “calm finish” matters.
Tension is protection
When your nervous system runs hot, muscles brace.
That bracing becomes chronic tightness and pain.
Recovery is a state
When you shift into rest-and-repair, tissue response improves.
We finish sessions grounded so your body can hold the correction.

Understanding is step one. Correction is step two.
Book your session and we’ll identify what your body is compensating for, then treat the pattern with precision work and a calm finish.
