Stress and muscle tension - when the body says „stop“
In recent years Stress has become a constant companion of every active person.
Long hours in front of the computer, dynamic lifestyle and lack of rest often lead to accumulated muscle tension, aches and pains and a feeling of fatigue.
Many people seek a solution from neurologists, orthopedists or even psychologists, not knowing that kineitherapy and physiotherapy can effectively restore the body's balance, by eliminating the effects of stress on the muscular system.
В Office Therapy Sofia (Lozenets district) helping patients who suffer from chronic tension, stiffness, neck and back pain through specialized rehabilitation and relaxation programs.
How stress affects the body
When we are under tension, the body activates a defence mechanism - muscles tighten, to prepare for action.
The problem is that with chronic stress, this tension remains constant.
The result is:
- Pain in the neck and shoulders
- Headache and feeling of pressure in the occiput
- Stiffness in the back and shoulder blades
- Fatigue and reduced concentration
- Disturbed sleep and anxiety
With time it appears vicious circle - stress causes tension, and pain amplifies stress.
What is muscle tension
Muscle tension is a condition in which the muscles are permanently shortened, even at rest.
The most commonly affected areas are:
- cervical-shoulder area
- back and waist
- facial and jaw muscles
Prolonged tension leads to reduced blood supply, inflammation of the soft tissues и limited mobility.
This is often felt as „hardening“, „stretching“ or „a stone in the muscle“.
