Muscle Dysfunction?

ADAPTATION

Our bodies continually adapt to daily movements and the lifting of loads. This adaptive process involves muscles contracting on one side to compensate for weight lifted on the opposite side. Ideally, these muscles return to their resting state once the load is removed. This daily adaptation should occur seamlessly, reflecting the body's capacity for maintaining equilibrium and functional efficiency. Instances of discomfort or pain following such activities may signify a breakdown in this adaptive mechanism, indicating potential inefficiencies in coping with routine movements.

COMPENSATION

When our body mechanics are altered by muscle tightness, poor posture, repetitive movements, incorrect lifting techniques, injury, post-surgery recovery, pain, fatigue, or strain, the body compensates with other muscle groups to maintain balance and function. This compensation often leads to overuse or misuse of certain muscles and joints, increasing pain and discomfort. Over time, these compensations can cause serious issues, such as chronic pain, joint degeneration, and decreased overall mobility.

DECOMPENSATION

Often, aches resulting from adaptation are overlooked for extended periods, which can lead to compensatory patterns where symptoms become more pronounced. These patterns may manifest as forward head posture, pelvic tilt, shoulder asymmetry, leg length discrepancies, among others. Numerous symptoms may arise during this phase. If left unaddressed, the body may progress into a decompensation stage where irreversible consequences, frequently necessitating surgical intervention, may ensue.
