Sports recovery in Castelldefels

Training accumulates load; recovery is what lets you sustain it over time. Joan Jiménez, registered naturopath (FENACO 3802), assesses how effort is being distributed in your sporting movement and releases the overloaded tissue so you can hold your volume without the load settling in.

Signs we see in consultation

Training overload follows a fairly clear pattern:

  • Areas that stay loaded several days after training.
  • Loss of range in your sport-specific movement.
  • Recurring discomfort always in the same muscle group.
  • Heavy legs or arms at the start of a session.
  • Slower recovery than usual between training sessions.

What we usually find

A sporting movement repeats one pattern thousands of times, concentrating load in the same structures. When volume rises faster than recovery capacity, the tissue does not return to its resting state and begins to accumulate.

It is also common for one area to compensate for work another is not doing well. That is why the assessment looks for the real distribution of effort, not just the muscle that complains: releasing without correcting that distribution gives relief that does not last.

Approach and method

Joan assesses your sporting movement and the state of the tissue involved to identify which structures are taking on more load than they should and which are compensating.

On that reading he combines decontracting massage with deep work using TNDR (Natural Unblocking Regenerating Technique), and adapts the session to where you are in your season: working during a heavy block is not the same as competition week.

An integrative service, not just a massage

Joan does not work with a single technique. Depending on what the assessment shows, he combines TNDR integrative massage in one session with decontracting work, facial and TMJ work, foot reflexology, biomagnetism, reiki or Access Bars. The combination is decided case by case, with no closed protocols.

The consultation in Castelldefels

The session does not start on the table, but by listening. First we go through what you notice, since when and in which situations it appears; then a manual assessment reads the state of the tissue and locates where the load is actually held.

Frequently asked questions

When should the session be relative to training?▼
It depends on where you are in your season. During a heavy block it usually fits better away from demanding sessions; in competition week a lighter approach is planned. It is decided with you in consultation.
Does it help if I only train recreationally?▼
Yes. Overload does not depend on level but on effort distribution and recovery. It is a very common reason for consultation among people training several times a week.
Is only the painful area worked on?▼
No. Effort distribution across the whole movement is assessed, because the area complaining is often compensating for another. Releasing without correcting that distribution gives relief that does not hold.
Do people come from outside Castelldefels?▼
Yes. The consultation is in Castelldefels and people regularly come from Gavà, Sitges, Viladecans and nearby. Book your session online.
Does it replace healthcare?▼
No. It is bodywork support from naturopathy, complementary and never a substitute for assessment by a health professional.
