What causes all our tightness and discomforts?
A common question I get from a lot of clients or especially new clients is:
“What is causing all this tightness and discomfort? How long will it take to get rid of?”
The body becomes tight, stiff, or painful when muscles and connective tissue are stressed by things like repetitive movement, poor posture, injury, overuse, inactivity, stress, and nervous system tension. This causes restricted blood flow, tissue guarding, and reduced mobility. 
In hockey it’s usually due to repetitive skating patterns, high-impact contact, and constant muscle guarding.
With massage:
• Some relief often starts after one session
• 2–4 sessions improve mobility and reduce pain
• Consistent care helps prevent injuries and keeps players on the ice
Massage works best when done regularly, especially when paired with movement, hydration, and stress management — because tightness didn’t happen overnight, and lasting relief usually doesn’t either.
