What are muscular imbalances?
Muscular imbalances are discrepancies between cooperating muscle groups: some muscles are shortened and overactive, while others are weakened. This leads to incorrect loading, tension, and eventually pain.
What symptoms occur with muscular imbalances?
Typical symptoms include recurring tension, posture problems, one-sided load discomfort, and pain that occurs without a clear injury.
What causes muscular imbalances?
Common causes include one-sided strain, prolonged sitting, lack of exercise, or protective postures, which can overwork some muscle groups and underuse others.
What are the risk factors for muscular imbalances?
- predominantly sedentary work
- unilateral sports
- poor posture
- previous injuries with protective posture
What treatment methods are available for muscular imbalances?
Treatment involves targeted muscle strengthening, stretching, and movement therapy to restore balance and correct incorrect loading.
