How I Helped Fix Anterior Pelvic Tilt and Ankle Sprain with Myofascial, Osteopathic, and Foot Massage

I’m excited to share a recent case from my Barcelona practice near Sagrada Familia, where I helped a client overcome several postural challenges with a hands-on, personalized approach.

Addressing Upper Crossed Syndrome First

I began by addressing the client’s upper crossed syndrome, which was causing neck and shoulder tension. I strengthened the rhomboids and upper back muscles while releasing the pectoralis minor. This initial work corrected the forward-rounded shoulders and laid the foundation for the rest of the treatment.

Correcting Anterior Pelvic Tilt and Lower Crossed Syndrome

Next, I focused on the lower body issues. The client exhibited signs of anterior pelvic tilt—tight hip flexors, an overly arched lower back, and tight hamstrings. My approach included:

  • Psoas Release: I used myofascial release techniques on the psoas to ease tension and help the pelvis realign.
  • Hamstring Strengthening and Relaxation: First, I strengthened the hamstrings to support proper pelvic alignment, and then I applied post-relaxation techniques to gently release any residual tightness.
  • Osteopathic Manipulation: I performed adjustments on the T2 vertebra, sacrum, and L4-L5 segment to realign the spine and pelvis, reducing lower back discomfort.

Healing an Ankle Sprain with Foot Massage

The client was also dealing with an ankle sprain. I incorporated gentle foot massages and mobilisation exercises to improve circulation, flexibility, and overall mobility, which supported their recovery.

The Outcome

After several sessions, the client experienced significant relief from pain and tension, along with noticeable improvements in posture and mobility. This case shows how a comprehensive, individualized approach can lead to lasting, positive change.

If you’re facing similar issues or want to improve your posture through myofascial massage, osteopathic manipulation, and foot massage, feel free to reach out.

Real Results: How We Used Biomechanics & Massage to Fix Shoulder Pain in Barcelona

fixing shoulder pain with biomechanics and massage

If you’re dealing with shoulder pain during push or pull movements, we’ve got your back—literally! At our massage and sports therapy clinic in Barcelona, we take a personalized approach, assessing your biomechanics before using Active Release Techniques (ART), Rolfing, and sports massage to help you move pain-free and perform at your best.

Why We Check Your Movement Before a Massage

Ever wonder why your shoulder pain keeps coming back? The key is understanding how your body moves. Many people with front shoulder pain have muscle imbalances that throw off their posture and mechanics. Instead of just treating the pain, we dig deeper with biomechanical assessments to correct the root cause and keep you moving strong.

What’s Causing That Shoulder Pain?

  1. Tight Teres Major & Lats – These muscles can pull your shoulder forward and inward, limiting movement.
  2. Pectoralis Minor Stiffness – This little muscle can drag your shoulder blade forward, making everything feel tight and restricted.
  3. Pelvic Imbalances – If your hips are out of whack, your shoulders might be compensating, leading to extra stress.

How We Help You Move Better and Feel Stronger

Step 1: Assessing Your Movement

Before we jump in, we check how your shoulder, spine, and pelvis are working together to find the real issue.

Step 2: Releasing the Shoulder with ART

We use Active Release Techniques (ART) to break down adhesions in the teres major and lats, helping your shoulder move freely again.

Step 3: Loosening Up the Pec Minor

A tight pec minor can keep your shoulder in a bad position. We use soft tissue release to open it up.

Step 4: Realigning Your Pelvis

By adjusting the Sacroiliac Joint (SIJ), we help restore balance, so your shoulders don’t have to overcompensate.

Step 5: Rolfing for Full-Body Balance

Using Rolfing techniques, we work along the lateral line to connect your hips, spine, and shoulders, improving movement and posture.

Why Choose Us for Sports Massage & Biomechanics in Barcelona?

If you’re looking for the best massage in Barcelona, our approach ensures long-term results by focusing on movement, not just temporary relief. We specialize in:

  • Sports massage and ART to keep athletes performing their best
  • Biomechanics-based assessments to prevent future pain
  • Rolfing therapy to improve posture and movement
  • Customized treatments for fitness lovers and athletes

Sport Massages , Recovery and Feeling Insanely Relaxed

sport massage barcelona , sagrada familia area
One of the best way to recover from a long trip or a workout is a great massage !

Hi Everyone,

As a Muscle Therapist I’ve been asked a lot of questions all the time about what is the best massage to recover from a workout or from any athletic performance

Of course there is no simple answer to this question because all the massages have to be customized on each client’s body and necessities.

For example if you have just run a marathon your body is already pretty inflamed from the physical exertion, the last thing you want to do is applying more damage ( a strong deep tissue ) to the already tired muscle. So a soft tissue massage with gentle mobilization could be the answer.

But let’s say you have a competition in 3 days and you feel your muscle tight from excessive strength training and conditioning.In this case you might want a deep tissue massage where I work your adhesion and release the knots throughout trigger point therapy. It might hurt a little and increase the inflammation in the next 48 hours but it will speed up the general recovery and get you ready and lit for the competition.

What I’m trying to say is that there is no magic formula to get the perfect massage , the only magic formula is the communication and the understanding between the client and the massage therapist. The more I understand how you feel when I work on your tissue the more I can calibrate my pressure and release the pain in your muscle. It’s a dialogue where we are working together to heal your body and to feel insanely relaxed after it.

Therapeutic Massage : When The Massage Reduces Pain And Increase Well_Being

Therapeutic Massage Barcelona : get better , relax your knot and feel awesome again

HI Guys , welcome to my massage blog. Today I want to talk about the pain process and how a good therapeutic massage can reduce this pain.

Pain happens for one simple reason : to protect you .

Inflammation is a primal response to injury.

When your muscle is inflamed cytokines are released in the injured tissue.

Massage increases the density of M1 and M2 macrophages that help to reduce edema , cellular infiltration and tissue necrosis.

we still don’t have scientific proof that massage works as anti inflammatory medicine but we are getting there .

Nevertheless : athletes , desperate housewives, frustrated Beta and Alpha males, crossfitter, mma fighters, bodybuilder competitors , transgenders, gays and straight , overweight or fit , old and young people or Everyday Life Human Being are enjoying the physical , emotional and psychological benefits of a good massage.

So if you are ready to reduce your pain , feel relaxed and awesome here in Barcelona send me a Whatsapp or a SMS to 0034 634791996

I charge 60 Euros x 60 min and 85 x 90 min

If you buy 2 sessions the second session is Only (50 x 60 min) or (75 x 90 min)

Deep Tissue Massage and Back Pain Relief

Hi guys , welcome to my website. Today I want to explain to you my method to solve back pain. I believe in the scientific based approach of Stuart McGill, the theories on Fascia of Tom Myers and the Kinesiology work on muscle testing of Greg Roskopf.

When a patient come to my studio , I start the session with an initial Q and A : I draft a complete anamnesis of pain history , posture, workout routine, food intake, physical behaviour and then in collaboration with my client we figure it out the best treatment to heal his back pain.

I use :

  • Muscle Testing : to spot the weak muscle in the functional chain and with isometric contraction or palpation I activate that muscle
  • Osteopathic Testing : to detect subluxation and then with muscle energy techniques or Thrusting I correct the joint that is out of alignment
  • Myofascial Techniques : to redirect the Fascia in the wanted direction generally against gravity to redefine posture
  • Deep Tissue Massage : to relax the muscle and heal the muscle pain
  • Mobility : to strengthen the joint in the end range of the ROM
  • Exercises : to rehabilitate the muscle and increase performance

If you are ready to feel better and explore with me the best physical strategies and tactics to increase mobility, reduce pain and optimize physical and emotional health call me at 0034 634791996

or send me a Whatsapp at 0034 634791996

Traditional Thai-Massage in Barcelona

traditional thai-massage barcelona

6 yrs ago I went to Thailand to perfect my MUAY-THAI skills. I was in a fight camp in the jungle of Phuket, practising MUAY-THAI and MMA all day long. My body was shattered from the hardship of training. It was then that I discovered one of the best massage techniques on the planet: The Traditional Thai Massage. It was incredible the way my body felt after an hour in then hands of these Thai Monks working on my muscle

Last year after 5 yrs of massages on the massage bed I decide to break the limitations of the massage bed itself and move my massages on the floor and I learned after 100 hours of proficient training the Traditional Thai Massage.

My teacher Oskar spent most of his life learning Thai Massage from thai-monks and give massages in Thailand Temples.

Now it’s my turn to take care of your muscle and joints with this incredible sacred dance that is the Thai -Massage. I believe that if you train or you think your body need some stretching and mobility , The Thai-massage is perfect for you. You feel relaxed and vital after only one session

I charge 60 euros x 60 minutes incalls

100 euros x 60 min outcalls

( but if you like the massage I can keep on going and add 30 to 60 or 90 min until you say Stop. This because Thai Massage can be performed face down, up, on the side, sitting the possibility are endless and all are really pleasurable…

if you are ready to try this amazing massage please leave a Whatsapp message to my number 0034 634791996 , I will respond as promptly as I can

Kindest Regards

Max
