💥 Keep Rolling Strong: The Secret to Injury-Free Jiu-Jitsu
Jiu-Jitsu is one of the most demanding sports on the body—constantly engaging in grips, submissions, and explosive transitions. Whether you're rolling in San Juan Capistrano, San Clemente, Dana Point, or Temecula, you’ve likely dealt with:
✅ Neck & Shoulder Stiffness from collar chokes & head pressure
✅ Lower Back Pain from constant guard play & bridging
✅ Elbow & Wrist Strain from repetitive gripping & armbar defense
✅ Hip & Knee Tightness from relentless passing & guard retention
✅ Bruising & Swelling from knee-on-belly pressure & scrambles
🔹 Sound familiar? Every BJJ athlete faces these pain points, but few know how to recover effectively to stay on the mats injury-free. That’s where Elite Recovery comes in.

🏆 Jiu-Jitsu’s Most Overworked Muscles & Injury-Prone Areas
BJJ demands full-body endurance, but certain muscles take more abuse than others:
🔥 Grip & Arm Strength – Flexor muscles in the forearm get overworked from gripping the gi/no-gi opponents.
🔥 Core & Lower Back – Your obliques, lower back, and hip flexors fire nonstop to maintain guard & invert.
🔥 Hips & Knees – Tightness in the hip flexors and IT band restricts movement, making sweeps and escapes harder.
🔥 Shoulders & Neck – Rolling, defending guillotines, and tucking under chokes place extreme stress here.
💡 The Problem? Tight, overworked muscles lead to imbalances, reduced mobility, and increased injury risk. That’s why smart athletes prioritize soft tissue recovery before they get sidelined.
🩹 How Soft Tissue Therapy Can Improve Your Jiu-Jitsu Game
At Elite Recovery, we don’t just offer a massage—we customize each session using the most advanced soft tissue techniques:
🔹 Neuromuscular Therapy (Janet Travell) – Releases deep-seated trigger points to restore full muscle function.
🔹 Myofascial Release (Tom Barnes) – Frees restricted fascia to improve mobility and prevent stiffness.
🔹 Myoskeletal Alignment (Erik Dalton) – Corrects postural imbalances that lead to pain and reduced movement efficiency.
🔹 Lymphatic Drainage (Vodder) – Reduces swelling and inflammation, accelerating recovery from bruising & joint pain.
🔹 FST Stretch Therapy (Frederick Method) – Enhances flexibility & range of motion, helping prevent injuries.
✅ Prevents Injuries – Loosens tight muscles, so they don’t tear under pressure.
✅ Improves Mobility – Key for guard retention, passing, and overall movement flow.
✅ Accelerates Recovery – Helps bruises, sprains, and strains heal faster.
✅ Prolongs Your BJJ Career – Keeps you rolling longer with fewer injuries.
