Here is a very simple way to check if you have good posture while standing...
*Get someone to press down on your shoulders!*
+ If you have good posture, your body will be able to take the force and your body won't move.
... - If you have bad posture, you body will buckle and become unstable.
This is all to do with our body's fight against gravity, and as gravity is forcing us downwards we should have a strong resistance to downward pressure.
Soft tissue treatment is highly recommended to anyone with postural issues.
To book an appointment please contact me on 07486073166 or bodycaretherapy@outlook.com.

What is a 'Muscle Knot', what causes it and how can it be treated?
Our understanding of what a muscle knot isn't exactly clear, however research has shown us that it could be where the muscle fibres and fascia (connective tissues) sticks together.
Common Causes:... • Poor posture • Over-using/injuring muscles • Sedentary Lifestyle • Poor Nutrition • Dehydration
Treatment/Prevention: • Soft tissue therapy - therapists can use various techniques to relieve pain, break up any adhesions formed and 'unsticks' the tissues from each other. Also working out the underlying issues that caused the 'knot'. • Aerobic exercise - this will increase the blood supply to the muscle and help flush out toxins and waste products. • Rest - best for manual workers who overuse their muscles. • Stretching - this helps to release tension within the muscle, but never over stretch and stop if it is painful. • Hydration and good nutrition - makes sure the muscle is getting everything it needs to function properly.

Just wanted to share the importance of Fascia and its role in the body.
Fascia is a connective tissue that is a single 3-dimensional structure which supports and surrounds every muscle, organ, bone and cell in the body. Therefore as it connects everything together, it is very important for maintaining posture, controlling body position, and for producing smooth and coordinated movement.
If there are restrictions in the Fascia it can cause pain and dysfunction, and if not trea...ted can lead to severe chronic issues. Soft tissue therapy can be used to treat these restrictions and allow smooth and functional movement to happen once more.
If you believe you might have a Fascial issue, please contact me on 07486073166 or bodycaretherapy@outlook.com.
I hope this has given you more knowledge about how your body works!

Why do desk workers suffer with upper back pain?
Over the last month, many of the people I have seen have come in with a similar problem, pain in the upper back. The common thing between these patients is that they have all been spending about 8 hours plus per day, 5 times a week working at a desk. I also observed that their shoulders were all protracted forward. These two factors are closely linked to why they have pain in their upper back.
When a muscle is short for a long ...period of time, the structure of that tissue changes and becomes a tougher and less elastic, when you want your muscles to be elastic and able to stretch. This happens to your upper chest muscles (pectoralis minor) when you work at a desk for long periods of time, as your shoulder girdle is constantly forward. Through years of this happening your shoulder naturally feels comfortable being in a forward position, in turn this lengthens the muscles in your upper back (mainly rhomboids) and they become weak, consequently this is the reason people feel pain in the upper back.
How BodyCare Therapy can help
We can help by directly treating the source of the problem, and give you the relevant exercises that you can do in your own time to further correct these muscle imbalances.

massively impressed with this service! John managed to significantly reduce back pain i had over a 2 week period. Would recommend him to anyone.

I used John's service to relieve some persistent tension and stiffness in my neck and shoulders that was affecting my range of movement. I was quite surprised at the difference that John was able to make from one treatment using some really effective techniques thanks John! Would definitely recommend :)

I have had three appointments so far with John. He is very thorough and professional. I have far more movement from my shoulder each time I go and he gives me exercises to do at home to help myself too. I would definitely recommend a visit

I am 2 sessions in with John and have enjoyed fast and much needed relief with a lower back problem, providing welcome increased movement. Clear and concise instruction, and explanations of physiological elements of the treatment easy to understand. Combined with a friendly service, and professional delivery, I am very pleased to have found someone who takes pride in their work and who cares about my recovery and progress

Has helped a great deal with neck and shoulder injury great knowlede and understanding highly recommended

Excellent service, competitive rates. Would highly recommend.

After suffering from neck pain after a few nights of uncomfortable sleep, John after one treatment restored my neck back to working order and I was able to move it freely without any pain. I would definitely recommend his service to anyone!
