Align Up

Most of our aches and pains are a result of either under-used or over-used muscles. As we are working hard in our gyms, at home or on the job our muscles will shorten and feel tight. However, when we sit for periods of time with very little movement our muscles not only become weak, but also shorten and feel tight. This shortening of the muscles creates pain in many ways.

• First, and most obvious, is the pain in the muscle itself. Think of the muscle as a rubber band. If you stretch the rubber band and then relax it, it shortens. If you overstretch the rubber band it will break or just tear partially. So when we lift something, turn awkwardly, or fall the muscle is forced into elongation which may result in a strain or tear.
• Secondly, as the muscles shorten you will lose the spacing in your joints. Every joint in your body, no matter how small gets pulled together by gravity naturally. Tight muscles pull on the joints and speed up this process. This is a major reason so many people need knee and hip replacements.
• Thirdly, tight muscles can press against nerves causing numbness, burning, or tingling in our extremities. Also tight muscles can, and will, press against the lymphatic system and stop this system from removing toxins from our body.
• Finally, tight muscles can slow down the effect of medications which means we may need increasingly higher doses to be effective.

We use Active Isolated Stretching at The Muscle Repair Shop. Active Isolated Stretching is a method to stretch every muscle completely. Most stretching programs utilize techniques that do not completely stretch each muscle correctly. I see a lot of people who have been taught to stretch with stretch bands or told to hold stretches for more than 2 seconds at a time. This causes strained muscles and provides little results.

Come see us and we will teach you how to stretch every muscle in your body. Get a FREE Muscle Repair Shop rope to use at home.
