Even sometimes without really realizing it the large majority of our day is filled with movements that we repeat over and over again and they all cause our muscles to fatigue. Even such small movements of reaching for a mouse have this effect. They will eventually become very stiff and will also eventually hurt.

When movements aren’t aligned in the body in the way it was designed for then stiffness and pain will occur on a more frequent basis and the risk for muscle spasms and joint wear will increase exponentially. Through the identification and then the reduction of the cause of the imbalance the pain and the stiffness will subside and the movement will become more pain free.
