Are Contracted Muscles the Source of Your Pain?

Estrogen: Friend or Foe? What You Need to Know

It is a little-known fact that tight muscles put pressure on the skeletal structure which can lead to chronic pain. Tight muscles are often the source of pain, even if your pain is presenting in your joints or spine.

Living with pain isn’t just a minor inconvenience – it can make getting through the day a challenge. Driving becomes a test of endurance, working at your desk feels like a marathon, and even sleeping can be a battle, let alone trying to work out or play a sport.

With over six hundred and forty muscles in the body, the concept that contracted muscles contribute to pain is very underrated. Muscles attach to bones and joints. Why would a shortened muscle not contribute to back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain or knee pain? Over time, this pressure can affect joints causing misalignment, strains and nerve pain.

As we age or have injuries, our muscles contract. With this contraction, muscle fibers get shorter and tighter. This is why we often feel as though no amount of stretching seems to help. Once the large muscles of the body are contracted, it becomes very difficult to stretch. Even massage therapy cannot lengthen muscle tissue once it becomes contracted.

Shortened muscles also put pressure on joints and bones, and they can even cause dysfunction within the joint, leading to all kinds of other issues. We often feel pain in a joint or in the spine; what we don’t realize is that the pressure a tight muscle is exerting on the bone is the source of the problem.

Robotic Muscle Therapy to the Rescue
Pain can be caused by a variety of factors, such as poor posture, injury, repetitive movement or sedentary lifestyle. Traditional treatments might provide temporary relief, but what if there was a way to target the root cause of the pain and provide lasting relief? That’s where Robotic Muscle Therapy comes in.

This innovative computerized technology is able to apply precise pressure and vibration to a specific area of a muscle for a sustained period of time. The muscle then releases its long-held contraction. In this process, tension is relieved and muscle tissue lengthens back to its original state. When this happens, the pressure the muscle is exerting on the skeletal structure is relieved. Joints are no longer under tension, muscles that have been under strain are released and posture improves.

Conventional therapies often treat pain symptoms as opposed to looking for the source of the problem. Often, the pain is presenting in small muscles, the spine or joints, but it is actually a large muscle that is contracted, putting pressure on other areas. So with other therapies, the source of the problem isn’t addressed, which is why people so often have limited relief.

Wouldn’t it be nice to get to the source of the problem instead of treating the symptom? With Robotic Muscle Therapy, after evaluating muscle imbalances, the robotic arm is positioned and applies pressure and vibration, isolating the muscle and allowing the affected area to release and relax. It’s like having a highly skilled massage therapist who knows exactly where to press, but with the precision and consistency that only this technology can provide.

This cutting-edge therapy is a noninvasive way to release contracted muscles so you can find relief. Using technology to target the source of the pain, the robotic arm guides your muscles into relaxation.

Whether you’re dealing with chronic or acute pain or just looking for a way to relax and rejuvenate, this therapy can help with many issues:

  • Muscle Stiffness: You may experience stiffness in your muscles, making it challenging to move your body freely.
  • Aches and Pains: Persistent aches and pains can make even simple tasks feel like a major effort.
  • Weakness: Strained muscles become weak and can lead to difficulty performing daily activities.
  • Tingling or Numbness: Contracted muscles can lead to nerve impingement, causing pain or numbness.
  • Referred Pain: Pain that seems to travel to other areas of the body, seemingly unrelated.

The concept of applying pressure to key muscles to allow the skeleton to return to alignment is not well-known, and the ability to lengthen contracted muscles makes Robotic Muscle Therapy unique. It is a step beyond massage, as it creates long-term change, addressing muscle contraction and posture in a way nothing else can.

Why live with pain? Take advantage of this unique therapy. You do not have to be sidelined from your favorite sport or activity. We believe everyone should be able to “Live Pain Free in Paradise”!
