WHERE YOUR SYMPTOMS SHOW UP IS RARELY WHERE THE PROBLEM STARTS. That’s the part most people are never told — and it’s the reason pain keeps returning even after treatment, exercise or hands-on work. PAIN IS A SIGNAL — NOT THE SOURCE When a muscle, tendon or joint becomes painful, it’s usually the end point of a much longer chain of events. The irritation shows up locally. The cause is usually somewhere else in the system. That system is fascia. FASCIA LINKS EVERYTHING — AND I

Shoulder pain is one of the most common complaints people experience — especially if you spend hours working at a desk, scrolling on your phone, or hitting the gym regularly. But here’s the thing: shoulder pain isn’t always about your muscles. Most people assume it’s just a pulled muscle or tightness from overuse, but the shoulder is one of the most complex joints in the body. It connects with your spine, neck, ribs, and even your internal organs through a web of nerves and f

As we move through life, our bodies naturally change — and one of the first places we feel it is in our neck and upper back. For many people over 50, stiffness, aches, and a gradual forward tilt of the head become an everyday reality. But here’s the good news: age doesn’t have to mean pain. With the right understanding and simple daily habits, you can restore balance, strength, and confidence in your posture. Why Neck Pain Becomes More Common After 50 As we age, muscle mass a

When you think of ageing, you probably picture wrinkles, sagging skin, or fine lines. But one of the most overlooked contributors to visible ageing — especially around the face and neck — is tension.  More specifically, neck tension  and its deep relationship with your fascia . The Role of Fascia Fascia is the body’s internal web — a thin layer of connective tissue that wraps around every muscle, bone, organ, and nerve. Imagine it as a 3D body suit beneath your skin that keep

Many people over 50 start to notice stiffness or aching in their hips and assume it’s just a normal part of getting older — something caused by “wear and tear.” But that explanation only tells part of the story. In reality, much of what feels like joint pain actually comes from tight fascia , the connective tissue network that surrounds every muscle and structure in your body. The Hidden Role of Fascia Fascia acts like a web, holding everything in place and allowing smooth mo

Why Knee Pain Isn’t Always a Knee Problem The knee is a hinge joint—built mainly for bending and straightening, with only a small degree of rotation. Structurally, it sits between two highly mobile joints : The hip , which can rotate in nearly all directions The ankle , which allows for complex movement, balance, and shock absorption Because the knee has limited freedom of movement, it often becomes the victim  of dysfunction above or below. When fascia around the hip  or ank

Dysmenorrhea commonly called painful periods—affects millions worldwide.  It can interfere with daily life, causing cramping, pelvic pressure, lower back pain, bloating, and digestive issues. At INPEAK, we use fascial manipulation therapy  to address the deeper, often-overlooked causes of menstrual pain. Understanding Fascia and Menstrual Pain Fascia is a continuous web of connective tissue  that surrounds muscles, bones, nerves, blood vessels, and organs. This network allows

What is Padel Elbow and Why It Happens Padel elbow  is often mistaken as a simple overuse injury, but the reality is more complex. Millions of people play Padel without experiencing elbow pain. So why do some players develop it? The answer often lies in fascial restrictions caused by historical trauma . These restrictions may stem from: Old injuries in the elbow, wrist, or hand Poor posture  affecting the neck, shoulders, or lower back Scar tissue from previous surgeries or a

At INPEAK, we specialise in resolving complex back pain and sciatica with a comprehensive, body-wide approach that combines Spiral Stabilisation and Fascial Manipulation.

If you've ever experienced the throbbing pain of a tension headache, the blinding agony of a migraine, or the persistent pressure of cervicogenic headaches (those stemming from the neck), you know how utterly debilitating they can be. For many, these aren't just occasional nuisances; they're a chronic burden that impacts work, relationships, and quality of life. While painkillers offer temporary respite, they often don't address the root cause. At INPEAK in Alderley Edge, we'
