Muscles do a lot more than we give them credit for. Our muscles allow us to move, stand and even breath. When our muscle function is compromised, this can negatively affect the functioning of the entire body, from range and ease of movement through to blood and nerve supply. This can cause stiffness, pain, headaches, digestive problems, mental stress, a lowered immune system and several other issues.

Minor injuries, repetitive movements and poor posture can cause muscles to seize up so they never really relax. This may cause opposing muscles to weaken and other to tighten up to compensate. This can impact the function of the whole body.

Muscles have memory. This allows our bodies to adapt to our particular lifestyle. When the body operates in an incorrect manner the muscles remember this too. At this point when this happens often, the body can incorrectly reprogram itself so the dysfunction becomes normal function and will return to that state of rest.

By massage, strengthening, stretching, breathing and slight changes to the way we do things we can correct both long term and short term muscle problems and dysfunctions.
