A Healthy Muscle is a muscle at rest, engorged with blood and nutrients and ready to take
on the challenge of daily activities which require muscle action.
A Muscle with Tension is a contracted muscle which can not take on the task of daily activities.
If this muscle does attempt to work, it can not operate at its optimal performance level. A tense contracted muscle when engaged
in normal activities can result in further tension and spasms.
Spasms are areas of muscle that are tight or hypercontracted. These areas are congested,
preventing circulation of blood and nutrients from moving into and out of the muscle; toxins and lactic acid are then trapped
in the muscle causing pain.
Pain leads to further hypersensitivity of the nerves, increased stress hormones, shortening
of the muscle, pressure in the joints, constriction of the muscle sheaths (fascia), adhesions (scar tissue), biomechanical
disturbances (imbalances of muscle tone) and malaligned posture.
All of these lead to more Stress and more Pain, which results in perpetuating the Pain Spasm Cycle.
