Why does some pain feel tight and achy… while other pain feels sharp, unstable or burning?

In this Mini Consult episode of The Treatment Table Podcast, Doctor of Physiotherapy Mathew Ah Chow breaks down the difference between muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia — and explains how each structure can create different types of pain, tightness and injury.

You’ll learn:

• What muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia actually do
• Why different injuries create different sensations
• Common examples of muscle, tendon and ligament pain
• Why tightness isn’t always caused by “tight muscles”
• When pain is something to monitor vs something to get assessed

If you’ve ever wondered what your body is trying to tell you, this episode will help you better understand pain, movement and injury in simple, practical terms.
