Colin is a retired gentleman who likes to spend time in his garden. He suffers with arthritis and joint pain and every now and then gets muscles spasms in his lower back and legs. This can be painful and has started to restrict Colin from being able to do as much in his garden. Colin already visits the clinic for monthly chiropractic treatments and they said to have some sports massage to help relieve some pain.

The sports massage therapist found some tension in the muscles surrounding the joints Colin was suffering with most and explained that when the musculature around a joint is tight, it can limit movement and put more pressure through the joint causing discomfort. They also explained that muscle spasms can occur when the muscles aren’t being stretched enough and/or when the muscles are tired.
