Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
Muscles are actually attached to wires (nerves) that connect to a computer (the brain) that decides the active length of the muscles. So, when we complain of tight muscles, it may simply be that the brain determines that restricting movement is the best course of action under the immediate circumstances. Remember from chapter 3 that our perceptions and stress levels can increase muscle tension and limit movement options. Therefore, attempting to add muscle length via common stretching methods can become an exercise in futility. If the brain decides that the muscles need to remain under tension, then they will stay tight no matter how much your stretch.
