Muscle Imbalance

     The right and left halves of the body is symmetrical to each other. This symmetry, due to a balanced body work more efficiently, have emerged during evolution. There are many muscles in our body. Some of these muscles to keep balance yararken part of us is responsible for the motions. These muscles around the joints, which stuck to the point of sticking place and responsibility however a variety of movements. In general, a group that provides joint motion in a certain direction muscle, balance and movement in the opposite direction, which are a different muscle group. For example, the biceps muscle, the muscles dirseğimizden büktüğümüzde folded arms, which can make the movement of this muscle, balance, and vice versa (folded arms and allowing us to open the elbow joint) muscle triceps muscle. However, we think these two for the elbow joint to the muscle force, as well as the tensions in length and must be in balance. Joint, muscle or muscle group to move in one direction is low, or vice versa, for various reasons the result of strengthened joint doğurur.Bir muscle imbalance to move in that direction leads to a very kasıldıysa joint and restricts movement in the opposite direction. This imbalance leads to the installation progresses, additions stress. After a while, this unbalanced state of the muscles leads to the formation of pain in joints. The following figure and balance that leads to a joint action should be different for the two muscle schematically viewing.

     Remained in the same position for a long time, especially in a period of time during movements tend to use more muscle, which is a group. When we are forced to stay at a computer for long periods, for example, shoulders and heads to bring forward the tense muscles that keep a long-term basis. This situation results in shortening of the muscles in question. It also allows the movement of the shoulders and heads and vice versa (the shoulder and allows us to take back our heads) and kuvvetsizleşmesi outcome of prolonged lengths of the muscles would be revealed. If we carry the same work more muscles are shortened, shortening the muscles stretching more they are likely to elongation and muscle imbalance occurs when we call.

     Muscle imbalance, posture is one of the factors that contribute to the formation of disorder. After a while the muscles are unbalanced compensate for their desire and effort will become. This situation is to be settled derranged posture. After this stage, the only solution is formed by manual therapy to correct the posture disorders.

     Dr.Janda muscle imbalances may develop depending on the disorder was described by three basic posture. These upper cross syndrome (upper cross syndrome), lower cross syndrome (lower cross syndrome) and layer syndrome. The next article, I will touch on these disorders, and methods of osteopathic approach.
