Tight muscles aren’t always a flexibility problem; they’re often a feedback problem.
I see this all the time: someone’s feeling tight, achy, or stiff... so they stretch. Then stretch more. Then foam roll. Then wonder why they’re still tense.
The problem? It’s not just your muscles.
When your spine isn’t moving the way it’s designed to, the information from your organs, glands, and tissues to your brain gets distorted. Your nervous system responds by tightening muscles as a protective response.
When we restore proper spinal motion, it relieves nerve irritation so your brain gets more accurate information from your body, and it can finally let go of the tension it's holding.
Stretching and yoga can help, but won’t resolve nervous system dysregulation.
Every adjustment supports better proprioception, better brain-body communication, and long-term functional change. 🧠
So if you’ve been stretching but still feel tense, it might be time to look deeper than your hamstrings.
