Symptoms
The joints are stiff, exhaustion is always around the corner, there is a sense of generalized irritation and nervousness and one sleeps badly and little. These are some of the symptoms of muscle tension affecting a certain area of the body or multiple simultaneously. Sometimes there is also a great headache, a sense of dizziness, nausea, a feeling of dizziness, mental confusion. The combination of all these ailments leads to a state of general anxiety which does not improve the condition and does further stretch the affected area and all other muscle groups.
The pain usually changes according to the positions taken and has a variable intensity that increases if you try to move the affected muscle or muscle groups. If the contracture it concerns fairly superficial muscles, a slight swelling in the skin area corresponding to the areas of maximum contraction is also characteristic. Cramps in the legs or feet may occur. In general the muscles are less elastic and an i occursmuscle pertonia which does not help in movement.
Causes
The voltage could depend on a incorrect postural attitude repeated over time which leads to unbalanced use of muscle chains. Many localized tensions in the mouth and determined by the effectiveness of the occlusion affect the whole body down to a real “cascade effect” that ends up also affecting the breech support and all weight management.
Between other causes of muscle tension there are also the excessive training load compared to what the body can handle or get used to, chronic situations of dehydration o loss of minerals, lack of vitamins, problems related to the cardiovascular system, lack of adequate physical exercise. Very often the tension in the muscular districts has psychosomatic origin and the emotional factor should not be underestimated.
3 tips to relieve it
Let’s see together 3 tips to significantly reduce stress and learn how to manage it so as not to continually create muscle tension.
Identify sources of stress
Sometimes some friendships or some relationships at work or within the family there generate stress that we do not even imagine. Recognizing this aspect becomes fundamental. The solution lies in stemming all those people who even involuntarily or completely consciously they make us anxious, which throw expectations and loads on us. We must try to have people close to us who lighten us and who welcome life and the things that happen with joy.
The wail lowers energy and creates a lot of stress. This it does not mean pointing or blaming, but realistically realizing what kind of energy we need to keep flowing smoothly. In this a psychological path helps a lot and allows us to observe situations from outside and from above, to have an extensive and effective vision. A therapist or therapist can help us a lot to have an overview that makes us aware of what loads we are carrying. In this sense, family constellations are also very useful.
Full and conscious breathing
Breathing keeps us alive and a qualitative aspect of existence itself also depends on it. We often take this vital act for granted and don’t realize how much to keep one long and deep diaphragmatic breathing, pushing the abdomen out and contracting it in the expiratory phase and then bringing this process up to the chest, can change our life, also in terms of self-awareness. Sometimes the sternal movement created by the breath remains very “shy” e train the body to perceive even in its upper part becomes a good way to manage emotions.
Next to this air we feed on we also put food; it would be better to avoid alcohol and sweets, preferring antioxidant foods rich in vitamins and minerals instead. Great idea to also combine with decontracting massages aimed at muscle relaxation.
Balance between pleasure and duty
To solve the problem of continuous tension in the muscles, you often have to go and see how we perceive our body in space and what we feel we can do to learn to let go of so many anxious conditions. If we have an altered perception of how we are conducting our existence, of how we enrich or impoverish our thoughts, actions, days, this falls entirely on the physical body. When you live in a condition of constant alert, the exhaustion always remains around the corner, accompanied by a sense of unease that generates tension.
The life we live corresponds to a continuous expansion and should not always be faced with a sense of counterproductive contraction. It is necessary alternate moments of hard work with those of well-deserved pleasureand, becoming like wizards and sorceresses in this alchemical art of taking care of oneself. It is useless to wear yourself out and work shifts or exhausting hours to get the money or the goals you want. Energy must be wisely consumed. Dosed, respected, honored and sown.
