Not All Discomfort Is the Same

Soreness:

  • Feels diffuse

  • Improves with movement

  • Resolves predictably

Compromised tissue:

  • Feels restrictive

  • Alters mechanics

  • Persists across sessions

Confusing the two leads to poor decisions.


How Compromise Sneaks In

Compromise often shows up as:

  • Reduced range

  • Asymmetrical movement

  • Increased stiffness in specific areas

  • “Something feels off” moments

Ignoring these signs is how minor issues become major ones.


Why Early Tissue Work Matters

Addressing compromised tissue early:

  • Restores movement quality

  • Prevents compensation

  • Protects joints

  • Keeps training efficient

This is where targeted recovery matters.

  • Tender areas reveal dysfunction

  • Targeted work restores normal tone
