Thank you for answering this question! Brilliantly presented. Such an important point to understand for those with EDS. The conundrum of being super stretchy yet also having muscles that are constantly rocks full of knots that won’t let go even after repeated deep massage is perplexing. It does seem to be counterintuitive to resistance train when you are already so contracted, but it is the only option. I am curious as to why massage was not included as one of the remedies listed. Curious to hear the explanation for its usefulness alone and joined with resistance training.

thank you for the video! I do enjoy your channel a lot. I do appreciate your hard work. Can i ask you a question? Do you mind if you letting me know or recommend any thesis that explains about tightness, shortness or stiffness well?

Hi,it is a good video. What kind of the resistance training can be given to reduce the muscle tightness?

Interesting video. I think you should consider one extra cause of muscle tightness: proprioceptive feedback from adjacent joints. You covered it partially in Changing Posture but only really scratched the surface. Joint movement stimulates a reflex relaxation of muscles through proprioceptors. (Basically, joints can't move unless the muscles relax enough to allow the joint to move) That's why everything feels stiff in the morning but when you get up and moving: blood flow and proprioceptor stimulation. As a chiropractor, the feedback I receive after mobilising spinal joints is that he patient feels a reduction of muscle tightness. Movement relaxes muscles and mobilising restricted joints reduces muscle 'tightness'.

You´re welcome Rob! Winning patients over for active treatment, when they think they should be "released", massaged or cracked etc. is the hardest part of this!

I have all those problems and I know it’s because I have been sitting too long with bad posture. I definitely have inflammation with bursitis in the right shoulder, hip and knee. Walking was horrible because I was so stiff in the thighs and glutes. I had severe sciatica a few years ago and some nerve endings are still affected. My doctor said my problem is positional and I told the physiotherapists that stretching makes it worse to the point where I feel sick and light headed. Because I have good range of movement it has to be muscular but it’s been so hard to work out what to do for over a year. I’ve decided that the pain has travelled to many different areas, I get anxious and tense up. Meditation, some gentle yoga with breathing techniques and swimming has improved the problem. I think my brain has been overreacting to pain.

I am a massage therapist and I see so many patients will the pain thighs and glutes with siatica problems and nerve problems that run down the legs. You need to find a really good massage therapist that will break down all the built up tissue in the glute area. I mean they really have to break it down. All the tight tissue around the bones and deep into the whole glute. It's a lot of work. It usually takes me an hour to do it and usually requires 2 visits. The first time to break down the top layer and the second time to break down the deep layer. I can not tell you how many people I have see who have told me they have tried everything, stretching, different doctors, etc. have been dealing with this kind of pain for years and then after the session they either have no pain, or the pain is greatly reduced after one session. And gone after the second. I don't know any other massage therapists that focus that much on the glute area like I do, but if you come to Las Vegas, I can totally fix that problem for you. I have people tell me how much their quality of life has improved after. I usually only have to see them 1 to 2 times and then their good for months. I can almost guarentee I can help you with your problem... Stretching is not going to help the tissue that is compacted by the base of your spine where all the nerves of the lower back and down the legs are. Someone has got to break down all that compacted muscle tissue back there so that its not constricting the nerves and so that blood can run through that area. If you are in the Las Vegas Area, I know I can for sure help you with your problem.

Hello , I hope you're doing okay. I am facing a similar problem since 6 months, I am a student and I used to travel 2 hours 4 says a week to college which created pain in my right lower back , well the pain now is worse and it is in me right shoulder blade, right arm, right side of the neck. I have got so many different opinions, last thing my doctor said is that I don't have anything dangerous and it's only muscle stiffness due to travelling and bad posture, I sit a lot for studying. The stretching and physio therapy only took the pain from me arm and shoulder for few weeks , it never faded away. I am tired and in pain, I think part of it is psychological . The doctor asked me to do resistance exercises in swimming pool. I really don't have the luxury

Thank you very interesting. But how do you explain snapping hip for example if it's not an actual shortnening/tightening of the iliopsoas? it's not merely a nociception response.

As the guy says, stretching and foam rolling are good in the short term for pain relief but you have to care about the posture and strengthen the muscles in a smart way for the long term avoidance of recurring muscle pain. Crossing the first 2 out can be misleading who just skims the video.

Thank you for this thought-provoking video! I agree that muscle tightness is related to perception and psychosocial factors (e.g., stress, anxiety, pain, etc.). However, I don't feel that the explanation of tightness in this video accounts for physical changes in muscle length that occur with prolonged postures, such as shortened hip flexors with prolonged sitting or immobilization following fracture or surgery. There are definite changes in tissue tension that occur in these situations, which can manifest in ROM limitations or contracture over time if not addressed with mobility exercises (e.g., AROM, AAROM, contract/relax stretching, joint mobilization). I agree that changing postures frequently and resistance exercises can help combat muscle tightness, whether it is perceived or related to physical muscle shortening of the sarcomeres. I just have a hard time believing that muscle tightness is ONLY perceived. I am interested in reading the studies that were referenced in this video to get a better idea of how they were conducted and how "tightness" was defined. I love your videos, thanks Physiotutors!

Hey Caitlyn, we tried to differentiate "tightness" from "decrease in length" because patients use them interchangeably, but they are two different things. When patients say "tightness" they are often referring to a feeling of discomfort, rather than an actual decrease in length. There are definitely situations in which the actual muscle length is changed like you mentioned above. We will publish a video soon in which we will discuss if stretching is the best treatment option to counteract these changes. so stay tuned!;) Please read the articles and get back to us if you wanna discuss about them!

@@bmb8025 In the case of a tight muscle with foam rolling and massage, I believe it would indeed help. Applying pressure to a trigger point or a taut band in a muscle helps to relieve the tension in the muscle. When choosing a self care tool (ie foam roller, lacrosse ball, 3in ball, etc) you want to take into consideration the size of the muscle or the taut band/trigger point in specific and choose appropriately. Then think of the direction the muscle fibers run like a chain link fence, if you want to lengthen the muscle you go with the muscle fibers and in case of a lengthened or weak muscle you want to go across the muscle fibers. Hope this is helpful.

Thanks for the video, I have one question to endrange strenth training and gaining mobility. at 4:58 you say the muscle will actually adapt and lengthen. Is that correct? I was told creating strength endrange "secures my neurosystem" so that I can move further because I have stability in this endrange position. looking forward to your answer :)

if my mri showed short intact hip abductors then does that mean its not tight? basically did lots of squats in abducted position loading those abductors heavy. Do you think its mechanically shortened and probably not from injury?

@@mk11fan87 my recommendations based on years of struggle with tightness /spine issues: Lower carbs/sugar(not necessarily full keto) Intermittent fasting If youve been weight training for long time. Take 6 months break and allow your spine to readjust (if your posture is suboptimal) Improve Ergonomics (chair/firm mattress/low thickness pillow) Find out what triggers your mind to stress and try to avoid it, it might be certain people around you weighin you down Stop all medications and supplements, they put stress on your body and organs and they make you tighten Above to name a few When you do exercise avoid exercises that put compressive load on your(ex squats) and exercises that stretch your back in uncomfortable position (ex:seat quad curls/..)

Tightness is subjective in that it is based on individual expectations and goals. In your anecdotal hamstring example - if your expectation was to be able to touch your toes and you can’t, then due to the objective fact you can’t, the subjective belief is you’re tight. Muscle fibre length is fundamentally related to activation. Acute overload = acute shortening imposed by inflammatory processes to promote healing. Progressive overload = progressive lengthening to promote joint MOBILITY as strength capacity improves. Progressive under load = progressive shortening to reinforce joint STABILITY as strength capacity reduces. Both Adaptations increase chances of survival of the organism based on its environment and function. Easy to see this when we look at stroke victims - spasticity and shortening/contracture through inability to sufficiently activate a muscle. The shortening response to inactivity eventually provides joint reinforcement, allowing weight bearing and gait to return after spasticity has stabilised flaccid joints. Therefore Improving their chances of survival. What we subjectively call tightness, i interpret as relative weakness based on previous experience and objective capacity.

What is the tightness you're referring to in this video? Just the sensation of "tightness" we have after prolonged bad posture? For instance, what I'm currently experiencing is the inability to fully extend my leg at the knee joint in a seated position, due to "hamstring tightness" or lack of muscle length at the hamstring. So in my case, I should be performing stretching for my hamstring instead of resistance training, correct? Thanks in advance!

The tightness I a referring to is the unpleasant feeling you get from ischemia in your muscles, or in a chonic case more likely sensitization of the nervous system. You are talking about a decreased muscle length. Stretching could be an option, but also in this case (not only to build up resistance against ischemia or sensitivity for example) you could train your hamstrings eccentrically. The question with a short muscle is always why it is short and why you want to lengthen it. Short hamstrings aren´t necessarily a bad thing. In my case as a soccer player, the short hamstrings help to prevent overextension (and potential damage to my ligaments) of my knee when I am shooting a ball.

The Humming Boy Short hamstrings have a protective function viz to prevent excess tension on tight neural structures. The SLR &/ slump will have a taut endfeel. In order to lengthen short hamstrings you need to treat the reason why they are short in the first place. In the case of the sciatic nerve, stretching of the piriformis muscle is often very effective. If the slump is restricted , mobilising of the thoracic spine, particularly the costovertebral joints in long sitting works extremely well. It also helps to perform 3-5 gliding manoeuvres (SLRV&Sslump) once you have treated the appropriate joints/"muscles. When you have dealt with WHY the hamstrings are short, THEN hamstring stretches will much more effective and the stretching effect will be longer lasting.

when an athlete sense tightness in just a relatively small group of muscle fibers, not all the muscle, and you can palpate a tight band (going transverly through the muscle belly), what can it be?

Tried to threat it with overpressure to create ischemia and then quickly release to create a vasodilatation, stretching the muscle but it seems not to work.

Thanks Matthew, the evidence says the following: "Massage induces an immediate, albeit short-term, reduction in muscle stiffness. The stiffness measured by shear wave elastography returnted to baseline after 3 minutes." (Erikssson Crommert et al. 2015)

That’s the goal. While your personal experience plays a role in evidence based practice, the evidence should be the guide so we strive to be able to support our claims with sound evidence

Thanks for the video. Your response to some comments suggests that your view of massages is that they just feel good, but there’s not much more to it. But if tightness is, as you postulate, just an unpleasant feeling, why should a massage that makes you feel pleasant not be considered a treatment to the problem?

Good question!

What about muscles that don't feel tight but are painful when applying pressure to them?

Great content! I just graduated from university, and muscle tightness was regularly related to trigger points. This video claims that muscle tightness can't be related to tissue hardness, what are trigger points then? I regularly perform trigger point therapy, with a good outcome and i 'feel' the triggerpoint/ taut bands. What are these 'knots' then? :) And what about dry needling? Thanks in advance!

Thanks Elien, appreciate it! The answer based on evidence is "we don't know what trigger points are". They are certainly there and sore spots of unknown origin: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25950032 We are planning on doing a video about the topic as well. Taut bands cannot be reliably palpated: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28098584 Dry needling is not more effective than placebo: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27831670 With all that being said, we do press on tender spots here and there and some patients seem to benefit from that. The working mechanism is probably neurophysiological.

Bro I was just cycling and then my leg muscles suddenly started hurting and then they stayed stiff and I couldn’t bend my legs to move them anymore and I just layer there on the ground

I have since years pain in my neck shoulder muscles. I have lost all hope tried every type of stretching, cupping therapy, acupuncture, pain killer. It has made my life very hard. Please need help
