Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional🙆🏻‍♂️

Symptom focused therapy will not work! It only provides temporary results. Reason being it does not resolves the cause of the issue.

At Movebetter Sports Therapy, we will (1)access and find the source of your issue. (2)Release tight and over worked muscles then you will be asked to do some easy stretching and (3)retraining of weaker muscles to activate them. Lastly be (4)aware of your posture and patterns of movement to improve how you MOVE!

💪WORTH IT💪

Sports Massage therapy isn’t agonizing.

It can be tender at times, but your therapist will always work within your pain threshold to ensure that you are not in unbearable amounts of pain.

Every person is different and we recognize that we can’t apply the same level of pressure to everyone.

The gain you get after that discomfort though is so incredibly worth it.

Imagine being able to workout without pain, move better or sleep more soundly. 💤

🤸‍♀️Our bodies are designed to move🤸🏻‍♂️

The old saying is “Use it or lose it” In truth, it should be “Use it to keep it”

◾️Life is motion. When we stop moving, we stop living. If you want to move well when you are old, you must keep your body moving well as you age.

◾️Your body has a need to move. Studies show people heal much better when you get them moving.

◾️If you find your body stiff and “stuck” you need to do something about it!

Always find every chance to move your body!

➡️And then schedule with me to help you do what you want to do more efficiently.

🤷🏻‍♀️Shoulder aches🤷🏻‍♂️

Many of us walk around with this constant dull ache or pressure on our shoulders

Here are some common causes which we might not know due to our daily activities and posture.

1️⃣ Sling bags or heavy bags - our shoulders are naturally sloped. To make sure the bags don’t drop, we raise our shoulders and tense our neck muscles.

2️⃣ Mid back restriction - As the trapezius muscle attaches to the shoulder, if it’s not moving properly, it can cause secondary effects onto your shoulders.

3️⃣ Chest tightness - when our daily lives revolves around our mobile and desk work. Our chest muscles are getting tight at the front of our bodies and pulling on our shoulders.

4️⃣ Stress/Anxiety - when we are stressed, we can raise our shoulders and tense our neck muscles too.

Mobility and stability are two of the most important factors in recovering from and preventing injury. Too little or too much movement and a lack of stability in the muscles and joints can lead to stiffness, dysfunction, and degenerative changes. These factors can increase our risk of injury.

Massage therapy is a beneficial treatment for maintaining and improving flexibility and motion. By working on muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, and joints, regular massage can improve your flexibility and range of motion, keeping your joints more fluid and making them less injury prone.

Common sense but most won’t know about it.

If you have more tips to share, let us know!

Love this quote 😎.. Learn to understand your body and what the signal you get is actually telling you.

Injuries often result in our body creating a ‘pain signal’ initially. When in the recovery phase, our body often reminds us that a specific movement caused the pain, therefore we back off and avoid it. 💡

Rehab & recovery is key 🔑 and learning to move past unnecessary ‘nervous’ signals so high performance isn’t affected.

Sports massage therapy is the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of soft tissues within the body specifically the muscles, ligaments and tendons.

Sports massage therapy is suitable not just for athletes, but for a wide variety of people who are wishing to prevent or recover from a soft tissue injury. The aim of a sports massage is to alleviate tension in your musculoskeletal system.

A sports massage can not only help treat your current strains and tension but be used as a method of preventing future injuries. These include overuse or repetitive strain injuries whether they are from your daily activities or from your training regime.

Welcome to Movebetter Sports Therapy

My name is Gary, I’m a certified Sports Massage Therapist. Sports has been my passion since I was a kid, love to explore and challenge myself in all kinds of sports. I started out as a swimmer like most Singaporeans do and eventually venture into more extreme and expensive sports 😬

I was a sea sports instructor in my early career coaching sailing, kayaking and windsurfing. After I left my “sea” coaching career, I went on to help build the sports team in SIM for 9yrs. During my job at SIM as a Sports officer I learned and understand many sports I was not familiar with, manage the sports team in overseas competitions.

Thereafter I had a calling to go back to my first love, Swimming. I got certified as a NROC level 2 swimming coach and helped hundreds of students achieved water confidence and even winning medals for the past 5yrs.

I am still very active after triathlon, mainly in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I’m currently a blue belt in BJJ and have been on podiums in local and overseas competitions. These 2 sports have taught me the importance of dynamic mobility and strength, something triathlon has failed to make me aware of as it’s mostly repetitive movements and endurance. Because of that, I realize the importance of muscle and joint movement especially at the age of 41yrs old.

My philosophy in doing any sport is “Move better, Hurt Less”. I hope my knowledge and skills will help you move better so that you hurt less and enjoy your life and activities more!
