😫 Why Do I Always Feel Tight?
Most “tightness” isn’t about being inflexible. It’s your body trying to protect you. Here’s why:
1. Your Body’s on Guard
When something feels unstable (like your hips, back, or shoulders), your body locks things up to protect you.
🧠 Your brain says: “Let’s tighten up until we feel safe.”
✅ Fix it: Build better strength and control — not just stretch.
2. You’re Overworking Certain Muscles
When the wrong muscles are doing too much (like your neck or low back), they stay “on” all the time. That creates tension and fatigue — which feels like tightness.
✅ Fix it: Balance the workload. Teach the right muscles to do their job.
3. Some Muscles Are Too Weak or “Asleep”
When muscles aren’t active or strong, your body stiffens up to compensate. Tightness can be your brain saying: “I don’t trust this area to move.”
✅ Fix it: Wake up those “quiet” muscles with smart strength work.
4. There Might Be Some Real Stiffness
Yes — sometimes there’s actual tightness from sitting too much, past injuries, or poor posture.
✅ Fix it: We’ll guide you with the right mobility, strength, and movement plan.
