Due to constant muscle spasms, diseases such as sciatica, arthritis of the spinal joints, skeletal muscle dystrophy, and spinal curvature develop.
In addition, pinching of nerves threatens to disrupt the functioning of other internal organs.
What causes muscle spasms
Muscle strain occurs due to the fact that the muscle fibers of individual muscle groups are severely overworked.
This process is caused by: Staying in one static position for a long time (in a car, at a computer).
Stress (shoulders involuntarily rise and muscle spasms occur).
Clamps and spasms in the body are the body's protective reaction to stress.
Emotional stress leads to displacement of anatomical structures with nerve endings.
Being constantly in tension, the body cannot fully relax, which provokes discomfort and pain in the area of the clamp.
Muscle strain can occur if you do not properly prepare for physical activity by warming up and stretching, have an accident, or overexert yourself.
How to relieve muscle tension
A good method of treating overstrained muscles is massage.
Massage has an analgesic effect, improves blood circulation and redox processes, has a tonic effect on the body and promotes a speedy recovery.
Slow and deep breathing (with the participation of the abdominal muscles) reduces the excitability of the nerve centers and promotes muscle relaxation, that is, relaxation.
Frequent (chest) breathing, on the contrary, ensures a high level of body activity and maintains neuropsychic tension.
