Why Body Misalignments Lead to Pain
In a recent discussion, we introduced the idea that body misalignments can occur in almost everyone. Now, let’s explore why these misalignments can lead to pain.
Firstly, it’s essential to recognize that the process of body misalignment involves the participation of muscles influenced by strengths and weaknesses. For instance, if the muscles on the right side of the body tighten, the body will tilt to the right. The crucial point here is that the muscles on the opposite side, the left side, are stretched, and as a result, they resist returning to their original state. With prolonged tension or localized stress, the fatigued stretched muscles accumulate, eventually reducing the range of motion and causing pain.
For the average person, a body with a balanced power distribution between front and back or left and right muscles is less likely to experience strain or pain. Athletes, on the other hand, may intentionally create imbalances to improve performance. While this can lead to differences in range of motion and power, it’s believed that intentionally creating imbalances reduces the risk of injury. This practice is common in various sports such as soccer, boxing, and table tennis.
