Why tight muscles are not always weak 💡
Just because a muscle feels tight doesn't mean it needs more strength. It might be overworked, guarding because of stress or pain, or doing more than its fair share. That tension is often your body’s way of trying to protect you.
Tight muscles usually mean the nervous system is keeping them switched on for safety. Maybe other muscles aren't helping out. Maybe your body still doesn't trust certain movements yet. Either way, the tightness is a message, not a failure.
Dry needling helps by calming overprotective muscles, improving how they talk to each other, and giving your body a reset. It makes movement feel smoother and more natural, without taking away strength.
