About muscle pain care at our clinic
A pulled hamstring, a knot between the shoulder blades, a calf that tightens every time you run — muscle pain is often localised and linked to a specific activity. This page covers how we assess and treat soft tissue problems like these.
- Find the driver. We look at load, technique and recovery, not just the sore spot.
- Hands-on options. Active Release, IASTM, stretching and dry needling.
- Back to activity. Graded exercise rebuilds tolerance so it is less likely to recur.
