My upper back, neck and shoulder muscles are in a constant "guarded" state of tightness. What can you suggest to ease the tension?

[@writerscorp]

You may have "Ligament laxity" which can be treated with prolotherapy injections.

[@gothops2632]

Hey Greg, would you say that massage is pretty useless apart from making someone feel better during the massage and for a few minutes after?

[@sportsrehabexperts]

I don't know if I would call it useless. Some forms of manual therapy I think are more impactful than others. But someone dealing with an acute overload it can be helpful to minimize soreness and keep activity levels high if desired. Someone dealing with chronic issues, it can act as a way to allow you to do things with more comfort more frequently and help kick start progress in tricky cases.

Feeling my muscle too tight. Dr replies that’s what u feel but it’s too loose and referred me to physiotherapist lol am here to understand how I feel it’s tight & he sees from my results it’s too loose ? Lower back muscles - thanks loved the video

[@sportsrehabexperts]

Glad you found the video useful!

[@vinesh7732]

Please make video about which sport is good for weak back and abdominal muscles. Swimming or yoga which is better for weak body and less risk for injury...much love from Sweden❤

[@potatogodlv9480]

Bmx is good but its take alot of time and its extreme. You can do like lay on your belly on ground or matras and put your hands on head then pull your self like expiriment with it on ground and situps if you have strong press then it will help you from dmg lower back bmx good swimming also super good it heals you.

[@HeyIntegrity]

i amc curious what type on contracton and forces is happening on the concentric and eccentric portion of the bench press to the rotator cuff scapular muscles if we were to bench press in the scapular plane kind of like a reverse grip bench press in a retracted and depressed position. elbows in on the descent and elbows out on the concentric.

I tend to have one arm more tence than the other I have bad anxiety and for some reason of my arms always tence up and then my arm feels weak and also my hands have been so tence for weeks through stress and worry that now they seem to shake when I get stressed and use them x

[@sportsrehabexperts]

Hi Dawn, stress and anxiety can definitely cause muscles to tense as a protective mechanism. Our thoughts definitely influence us physically and how we feel physically definitely influence us emotionally. We are body and mind and cannot separate the two. I use the analogy of driving in a snow storm feeling stressed about the conditions, many people grip the steering wheel tightly and start creating a lot of tension reflexively. This phenomenon can happen with any type of stress.

[@dawnroberts6688]

@@sportsrehabexperts makes sense because I was driving more when stressed and tencing up wile driving caused me to have aching hands and forearms would hurt when I turned my wrist .. I have have two mri scans bloods and other tests and normal so these weird symptoms with my arms and hands hopefully is just anxiety x

[@rosesmith6208]

i cannot lift my legs up very high to get on a chair that requires me to straddle it, or when pedaling a regular bike I cannot getmy feet on the pedal or even just getting them up barly waist level. if I pull them up by force it doesnt hurt it is just weird. can there be a genetic component? my grandma had the same exact problem with pain in legs upon weight bearing and stiffness.

[@batman-sr2px]

can a muscle become short as a result of too much yielding forces? I am thinking of the the hip abductors in a externally rotated,hip abducted position (where they are short and contracted) and have to yield the forces as the hip goes into flexion. And as a response become short over time. if we keep doing this over time ,dynamic stretching before and then loading yielding forces in such a position then do they become short?

[@sportsrehabexperts]

yielding (eccentric) would be lengthening not shortening

[@Dipikapodder]

Hello! I am taking some medicine for my back pain, since then my leg muscles are getting stiff! Is this normal or can someone help me?

[@sportsrehabexperts]

Pain is normal and experienced by many. Taking medication for it can sometimes be helpful. But you should not remain in pain nor need to deal with pain for a prolonged period. Helpful, relatively pain free movement should be encourage. You should find someone in your area to help you specifically. If you prefer online help you can go to sportsrehabexpert.com and look at our workouts/rehab programs as a starting point.

[@kfergus3662]

My muscles get tight after workout

[@sportsrehabexperts]

Very common and normal to feel muscle tightness after workout for 24 hour - 48 hour afterwards. That being said, im not sure the extent of tightness you are describing. As with anything there are extremes.

[@kfergus3662]

@@sportsrehabexperts It goes away about 5 hours, no soreness until next day sometimes..thanks

[@julierogers4473]

I'm going to die.. my muscles are crushing me to death.12 years and 2 back surgeries later i want out of this prison body 🥺

[@phyinixx]

Useless video i was hoping you get to the point quick and give actually solution

[@bobomomo3764]

I have an impingement and I doubt that my chest, lats are tight So is it better to start training them (with good form eccentrically ) to get red of the tightness? 😨

[@sportsrehabexperts]

Likely that would be a good bet! However when you talk about the thorax, the rib cage plays a big role in improving "mobility". Your ability to expand and compress the thorax from a respiratory stand point also play a roll in "stretching" the orientation of the muscle eccentrically/concentrically. Think like pumping up a tire or flattening a tire. You can change length tension relationships or "stretch" the body from the inside out with attention to respiration.
