Listen "The Quadriceps That Wouldn’t Rest"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Doris Martel takes us inside the treatment room with a professional soccer player carrying a familiar fear: his right quadriceps is tight, heavy, constantly loaded… and he can't afford to miss a single game.Through detailed hands-on work, fascial assessment, breath, and somatic dialogue, this session reveals the deeper story behind chronic quad tightness — a story of pressure, survival mode, and the silent belief many athletes carry: “If I slow down, I disappear.”You’ll learn: • Why quadriceps tighten even without an injury • How the nervous system “braces” before any real damage happens • The meaning behind tight quads — force, control, and inherited beliefs • How fear of losing position keeps the body in constant protection • The exact moment an athlete realizes he doesn’t have to play scared • How shaking, breathwork, and myofascial release reset the entire systemThis episode is a reminder that the body doesn’t tighten to sabotage us — it tightens to protect what matters most.If your quads always feel heavy… if your legs never fully rest… this story might speak to you.💛 Share this episode with someone who feels pressure to stay strong at all costs.Because healing doesn’t begin with force — it begins with safety.
