108. The Power of Words in Muscle Therapy with Butch Phelps of The Muscle Repair Shop

March 13, 2025 • Sue Kennedy and Catherine James • Episode 108

In this episode of Full of Words, CJ and Sue are joined by Butch Phelps, founder of The Muscle Repair Shop, to discuss the unexpected connection between muscle health, brain function, and the language we use. Butch explains how tension and pain are often driven by mental stress, why stretching should be approached differently, and how simple shifts in awareness can lead to lasting relief.

He shares insights into why traditional deep tissue massages may not be the long-term solution, how daily habits impact muscle function, and why the way we talk to ourselves matters as much as physical movement. This episode challenges common misconceptions about muscle therapy and offers a fresh perspective on achieving better mobility and reducing pain.
