Muscle and Joint Problems

Muscle and Joint problems often go hand in hand.  They can happen to young and old, whether active or not.  Muscle pain can involve ligaments, tendons and fascia (the soft tissue that connects muscles, bones and organs).  Muscle and joint problems are frequently linked with tension, overuse, muscle injury from exercise or physically demanding or repetitive work.  You may experience morning stiffness, fatigue, a tender aching, sore throb, burning or a gnawing sensation.  It is common to have more than one muscle involved.  Muscles can go into spasm, tightening and shortening causing a reduction in movement of the associated joints causing you to experience stiffness.

Muscles can be weak and unable to effectively control the associated joints causing inflammation, pain and  dysfunction of those joints involved.  Rest is not always the answer, a full assessment from Total Care Physio can diagnose and formulate a treatment and rehabilitation plan to get the best from your body.
