Chronic, habitual muscle tension puts undue strain on tendons, ligaments, and bones resulting in pain and limited range of motion. Overly contracted muscles are also the cause of many other functional disorders.
For example:
• chronic contraction of neck and head muscles can cause headaches and/or dizziness
• tense back, leg, and foot muscles can cause knee pain
• tense muscles in the lower belly and pelvic floor can cause bladder problems
• tense breathing muscles can cause breathing difficulties, but also heart trouble, depression, or fear
