Feeling Stiff, Achy, and Stuck in Your Body

Let’s face it—life after 30 can feel like an uphill battle. Between juggling work, family, and fitness, it’s easy to feel stiff, achy, and just plain stuck in your body. Maybe you’ve tried regular training—lifting weights, running on the treadmill, or doing endless crunches—but something’s still not right. You’re not moving as freely as you’d like, and those nagging aches and pains just won’t go away.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Many women over 30 struggle with the same issues. But what if there was a better way to train—one that works with your body, not against it?

Myofascial Training – A Smarter Way to Move

Enter myofascial training, a revolutionary approach that focuses on your body’s interconnected system of muscles and fascia. Unlike regular training, which isolates individual muscles, myofascial training helps your body move as one cohesive unit. It’s designed to improve movement efficiency, prevent injuries, and enhance performance—so you can feel stronger, move better, and live life to the fullest.

How Myofascial Training Works

Here’s why myofascial training is a game-changer for women over 30:

1. Relieves Tension and Pain
   Tight shoulders, a stiff lower back, or achy knees? Myofascial training releases tension in your fascia, helping to reduce pain and improve mobility.
2. Improves Posture
   Say goodbye to slouching and hello to standing tall. Myofascial training helps realign your body, so you can move with confidence.
3. Boosts Energy and Efficiency
   By improving how your body distributes forces, myofascial training makes everyday movements—like lifting groceries or chasing after your kids—easier and more efficient.
4. Prevents Injuries
   Regular training can sometimes lead to overuse injuries. Myofascial training addresses imbalances and restrictions, reducing your risk of injury and keeping you active for years to come.

What Makes Myofascial Training Different?

Regular training focuses on individual muscles—think bicep curls or leg presses. While these exercises can build strength, they often ignore how your body actually moves in real life. Myofascial training, on the other hand, targets your myofascial system—the web of muscles and fascia that connects your entire body. This approach emphasises whole-body movement patterns, elasticity, and coordination, so you can move better in everything you do.

How to Get Started with Myofascial Training

If you’re new to myofascial training, here’s how to incorporate it into your routine:

• Foam Rolling
  Spend time rolling out tight areas like your calves, thighs, abdomen and chest to release fascial restrictions and improve mobility. It’s a great way to unwind after a long day!
• Functional Exercises
  Choose compound movements like planks, step-rows, step presses, and throwing actions that work multiple muscle groups. These mimic real-life movements and help you build strength in a way that’s practical and functional.
• Skip Static Stretching
  Instead of traditional stretches, incorporate dynamic movements that stretch your muscles while also engaging them. This approach is more effective for improving mobility and strength. 

The Bottom Line

Myofascial training isn’t about replacing regular training—it’s about enhancing it. By working with your body’s natural design, you’ll move better, feel stronger, and perform at your best. Ready to give it a try? Your body will thank you.

To make this easier for you, Functional Patterns™ has created a system that incorporates these principles, focusing on the essential human functions of standing, walking, running, and throwing. At DR GUS Nutrition, we’ve used this system for over 5 years, and the results speak for themselves: improved posture, better movement mechanics, and a renewed sense of vitality.
