Muscle tightness is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care.
Sometimes muscles become tight because they’ve been overworked. Other times they’re compensating for a joint that isn’t moving well, poor posture, stress, previous injuries or repetitive daily activities.
Rather than simply trying to loosen the muscle itself, I like to understand why it has become tight in the first place.
Depending on your assessment, treatment may include soft tissue therapy, chiropractic adjustments, stretching, rehabilitation exercises and advice about movement patterns or daily habits.
Many patients find that once the underlying cause is addressed, their muscles begin to feel more relaxed and comfortable. My aim is always to improve the way your body functions as a whole, rather than focusing on one isolated area.
