Have you ever felt a persistent ache in your lower back, only to find that stretching your back muscles provides little to no relief? Or perhaps you’ve been plagued by neck and shoulder tension, despite trying every self-massage technique in the book. The answer to this puzzling disconnect often lies in the intricate web of your body’s muscular system. At Get Stretched, we believe that understanding your pain is the first and most crucial step towards finding a lasting solution. Our RHK studio, “The Pain Relief Pro,” and all of our other studios in Johannesburg and Pretoria are dedicated to helping you unravel this mystery.We are committed to providing an educational approach to wellness, empowering our clients with the knowledge they need to understand their own bodies. We often use clear diagrams of muscle groups to illustrate a concept known as “referred pain.” Referred pain is the phenomenon where pain is felt in a part of the body that is different from its true origin. A classic example we often see in our studios is how tightness in the hip flexors and glutes can directly contribute to chronic lower back pain. When these muscles are tight, they can pull on the pelvis, leading to an unnatural curvature of the spine and putting undue stress on the lumbar region.Our empathetic tone is designed to encourage you to listen to your body and to identify your pain points without frustration. We want you to understand that your pain is not just something you have to live with, and that there is a logical, actionable solution. Our certified trainers are experts in anatomical connections. They can trace your symptoms back to their source and create a personalized stretching routine that targets the root cause of your discomfort.During a session, we go beyond simply stretching the affected area. We use a holistic approach to address the entire kinetic chain that is contributing to your pain. By releasing tension in the hips, for example, we can provide immediate and lasting relief to the lower back. This is why a consistent, professional, and tailored approach is so effective.We believe in empowering you with knowledge, not just providing a service. We’ll teach you simple stretches and movements you can do on your own to maintain your progress and prevent your pain from returning. We invite you to visit any of our Get Stretched studios in Pretoria or Johannesburg for a consultation. Let us help you understand your pain and provide you with a clear path to a more comfortable, mobile, and pain-free life.
