So, how many of you have wondered why the muscles suddenly feel tight? They become so restless that relaxing seems out of the option. So, what can one really do about it?
Here are some of the thoughts on muscle tightness.
Firstly, remember that tightness is a feeling and not just a medical condition. And, when one says that their muscles feel a little tighter, then perhaps they are pointing to some other complaints too.
Before understanding the muscle tightness, the related and the adjacent complaints made must be analyzed. For instance,- think about whether the muscle tightness is hindering the range of motion. Or maybe the overall motion range is fine but the movement to the end feels a little unresting? Does moving one muscle take more effort than it usually does? Or maybe it is not about the muscle at all, it is about the particular area that never stays relaxed or comfortable. Or maybe you have a weird sensation in the area with a feeling that is annoying as well as too mild to be called pain.
This shows that muscle tightness is ambiguous. It is the feeling which is different from the mechanical or physical property of stiffness, shortness, or too much tension in the body. It is possible to have one without the others.
One can refer to the pain in the muscle even in the case of absences of tissue damage because pain is a perception of threat and perception is not reality. The feelings can be perceived when the muscle is relaxed. So the feeling of tightness is like a warning sign for the lack of blood flow in the area.
