As your partner in natural wellness, we know the importance of corrective exercise and movement in maintaining a healthy body. We’re extremely happy to offer patients remedial massage therapy and believe it’s an essential tool in promoting overall wellness. But did you know that it also syncs up perfectly with sports chiropractic care?
At our practice, we collaborate with an amazing team of sports chiropractors, targeting various aspects of the human body in a way that complements each other’s treatments. Muscle soreness and tightness are common complaints we hear from patients. However, what feels like a tight muscle may actually be a weak muscle. Soreness is not always an indicator that a muscle needs to be stretched; it may be a sign that the muscle itself is not strong enough.
If you force your muscles into movements they don’t have the strength to perform, you may start to feel pain and fatigue. If the muscles have only a limited percentage of strength required to perform the task, they will be overworked, resulting in tightness and muscle dysfunction. This can lead to a chain reaction in the body where other muscles overcompensate for the underactive muscle, causing further imbalance, and sometimes injury.
