Why do my muscles get tight?
Muscle tightness and tension develops any time you push the limits of your physical ability or overly stress your muscular system. Our body responds to intense effort by developing micro tearing in the muscle, tendon, and/or fascia. Inflammation sets in to repair the “damaged” tissue. This inflammation causes a small amount of scarring that if left untreated can result in a significant amount of scar tissue. This scar tissue tightens and restricts the affected tissue resulting in a loss of range of motion or a feeling of excess tension. This response happens frequently and is often so gradual that it is hardly noticed until your tension is released. Imagine that a vise grip that slowly tightened on your calf over a month or two.
