✨ What is Neural Tension? ✨
Ever feel a sharp, shooting pain down your arm or leg? Or a pulling, tingling sensation when you stretch? You might be dealing with neural tension — when nerves are irritated, inflamed, or restricted and can’t glide smoothly through the body like they should.

👀 Symptoms:
⚡ Tingling or numbness
⚡ Shooting nerve pain
⚡ Muscle weakness
⚡ That “pulling” feeling with movement

🧠 Common Causes:
➡️ Herniated discs
➡️ Sciatica
➡️ Carpal tunnel
➡️ Poor posture
➡️ Surgical scarring

💪 At Clarity Physical Therapy, we treat neural tension with neurodynamic exercises that restore normal movement, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain — so you can move freely again. 🙌

📍Come see us in our Western Springs/ Clarendon Hills locations!

🏃‍♂️ The Science Behind Cooling Down After a Run – PT Perspective ❄️

A proper cool-down is a key component of injury prevention and recovery—yet it’s often skipped. Here’s what happens physiologically and why it matters:

🔬 What is a cool-down?
A cool-down is a gradual reduction in activity (e.g., light jogging, walking, followed by mobility or static stretching) performed after moderate to intense exercise like running.

🧠 Why it’s essential (from a physical therapy standpoint):

✅ Cardiovascular Regulation
Sudden cessation of running can cause venous pooling in the lower extremities, reducing blood return to the heart and brain. A cool-down keeps muscular contractions active, promoting venous return and preventing dizziness or fainting.

✅ Lactate Clearance & Recovery
Active recovery enhances lactate metabolism, reducing muscle acidosis and soreness. This promotes faster recovery of muscle pH and reduced delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS).

✅ Autonomic Nervous System Reset
A gradual cool-down facilitates the shift from sympathetic (fight or flight) to parasympathetic (rest and digest) dominance, optimizing recovery and decreasing post-run stress hormone levels.

✅ Flexibility & Joint Mobility
Post-run stretching during the cool-down capitalizes on increased tissue temperature, allowing for improved muscle extensibility and range of motion—both critical in injury prevention.

🦵 PT Tip:
Your muscles and joints just performed high-repetition, high-impact activity. A cool-down helps prevent overuse injuries by aiding tissue recovery and maintaining normal movement patterns.

📌 Bottom line: A 5–10 minute cool-down isn’t optional—it’s a performance and recovery enhancer backed by science.
