Muscle PAIN Relief
I am devoting an entire chapter of my Free
Health Book to the subject of Muscle PAIN because I have
found it to be a major key in any kind of preventive and maintenance
health program. Muscle pain you once had could disappear in
a matter of days or weeks. I RECOMMEND YOU READ THROUGH THIS REPORT
COMPLETELY. The more you understand about your muscles and how
they act, the better you will be able to accomplish what you want
. . . to be Muscle PAIN FREE!

NOTE: Something to keep in mind regarding muscle pain... there can be other causes for this problem, such as an infective agent such as in chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. Toxins from any type of infective agent, or combinations can cause a host of health problems, including muscle spasms and pain. If your situation is caused by, or complicated by, an infective agent, you need to reduce or eliminate this threat by using our remarkable Living Streams Liquid Probiotic Solution.

Muscle physiology and pain!
Muscle tissue is a unique type of tissue in the human body. It
is responsible for several different duties including movement,
posture, containment and circulation. I want to spotlight circulation
because it receives important support from the muscles of the
body. As a muscle contracts, it shortens. This shortening creates
a pressure within the muscle, helping to circulate blood. When
the muscle relaxes, blood can flow into the muscle and the cycle
continues. Both contraction and relaxation helps to force blood
through the muscle. This helps the flow of nutrients into the
muscle and waste products out of the muscle. As long as muscles
are routinely contracted and relaxed, there will be adequate physiological
support for the muscle. Herein lies the potential problem.
When a muscle is static--that is, when a muscle is not regularly
relaxed and contracted over the course of a day, there begins
to be a deficit in the blood flow. In the course of time, the
muscle will begin to react to the changing amount of nutrients
and waste products. Since it is absolutely necessary for there
to be adequate blood flow to remove waste products which are produced
when a muscle works, and to supply oxygen and food, the lack creates
a toxic environment within the muscle.
Most everyone has experienced the results of this. Think back
to a time when you had to sit at a desk for a long time, typing,
working on a project, or whatever. Remember the ache you had in
your neck and shoulders, or low back? That ache is caused from
a muscle slowly going into spasm. It is the nature of muscles
to contract when irritated or disturbed in some way. For instance,
when a muscle is struck hard, it contracts as a protective reflex.
When you have your reflexes tested, you know, the old hammer on
the knee, the first reaction the muscle has is to contract in
a protective response. This same response occurs when an internal
irritation is present. As the muscle slowly begins to contract,
it becomes tighter and tighter. This, of course, makes it even
more difficult for the circulation to reach into the muscle. Try
squeezing a sponge in your hand and then sticking it under water
and pulling it back out. Kind of hard for the water to enter the
sponge with all that "contracting" going on, isn't it?
You get the idea.
The pain associated with a muscle spasm can be excruciating.
The slow buildup of the spasm presents varying degrees of discomfort.
Anyone who has experienced the tight neck, shoulders and back
know how good it feels to get up and move around a little. Often,
just the simple act of moving can remove the pain. This movement
is just enough action to remove enough of the toxins within the
muscle and allow the blood to circulate. You know how much relief
there can be from a quick massage of the affected part.
The latest studies in workplace "ergonomics," that
is, studies looking into how a person works, their posture and
the equipment suitability, etc., shows that people in jobs which
limit their movement should stand and stretch a little at least
every 10 minutes. That's what the studies show. Let's be realistic,
though. You know and I know that most people don't come remotely
close to that kind of standard. I know for a fact that most people
will work at a desk for hours before getting up to move. I know,
because I've been sitting at my desk typing this material for
over two hours already. That's why the muscles in my right shoulder
blade area are killing me. And that's why anyone in any static
job needs to make a point to activate their muscles regularly.
Multiply this typical example by the months and years people
spend doing it and you can see how the body begins to break down
prematurely. It is my professional opinion that the long term
affects of prolonged muscular stress and "starvation"
for blood promotes premature muscle cell death. This in turn is
replaced by scar tissue, although on a cellular level. When this
occurs for a period of 20, 30, 40 years, you can begin to see
how this can add up to the total affects we call aging, and specifically,
arthritic changes in joints. Aging isn't just a mysterious event
which takes place within a given time span. It is a result of
specific events which take place over that time span. The cumulative
damage that occurs over time is what we call "aging."
It won't be long before every employer will realize that enhancing
workplace ergonomics will benefit them. If the employee's are
hurting or uncomfortable, they aren't going to work as well, right?
Compound that by years of the same and you have permanent injuries
resulting in accumulated trauma. That translates into lost money.
Billions of dollars to be exact.
Key to muscle "rehabilitation" - STRETCHING
The subject of "Stretching" may bring on the same mindset
as the word "exercise," but rest assured, you will feel
different about it once you do it the right way.
WARMUP
I feel it is important to discuss the subject of warming up prior
to any activity which places high loads on your muscular system,
especially sports activities. Any muscle that is "cold,"
that is, is in a partially contracted condition and with minimal
blood flow through it, is a muscle just waiting to be injured
when any stress is placed on it. "Warming up" increases
the amount of blood flowing into the muscle by reason of muscle
activity. This prepares the muscle for greater activity. The muscle
and tendons which attach the muscle to the bones are more ready
for stress. Most of us have experienced the proverbial muscle
"pull," right? A muscle pull is a muscle tear. We described
muscle damage and healing earlier. If this muscle tear isn't properly
addressed, it quite often leaves to permanent residual pain which
occurs during activity placed on the muscle.
Remember the discussion of how the blood from an injury forms
a pool for cell growth? If this growth happens to be between adjacent
tissues, or even within the muscle belly itself, the scar tissue
growth acts like a "glue" and prevents normal relaxation
and contraction. That's because the area was allowed to heal in
a contracted state, without motion to allow healing of the tissues
during a full range of motion. When activity is required within
the restricted area, the scar tissue pulls on normal tissue it
is adhered to around it creating pain, irritation, inflammation,
and further tissue damage if another tear occurs.
The important thing is to work with the already damaged tissue
to minimize the damage, whether the injury is only a few days
old or 10 years old. I I will point out that in any type of accident
or injury, there is some kind of internal tissue damage done.
From sports activities, falls and fractures, scar tissue becomes
involved. This is one of the most commonly over looked aspect
of what we know as "sprains and strains". The medical
profession quite often ignores the internal soft tissue injury
and hasn't fully appreciated the residual affects of this kind
of damage. I will describe some treatment procedures important
to minimizing muscle damage in the chapter on self help.
THE STRETCH TECHNIQUE
In doing these stretches, please keep in mind that you should
get some advice from your doctor if you have certain complications
that could become involved as you stretch. If you've had a recent
muscle injury, have some degenerative conditions in the area,
or have had chronic pain that doesn't seem to respond to the stretches
within a week, check it out. If these stretches DO NOT HELP WITH
YOUR CHRONIC PAIN, then I highly recommend you have the condition
examined by your Chiropractor. If the pain is NOT caused by muscle
spasms, then you have a more serious condition, such as scar tissue
adhesions, nerve entrapment or joint fixations going on.
In most cases, stretching will not be a problem. When doing these
stretches, it is much better to do them on a firm surface such
as on the living room or bedroom floor. Doing them on a bed reduces
the effectiveness because the bed "gives" too much,
and doesn't allow for full motion.
There are several preparatory stages involved in stretching any
particular muscle. It is important to be in loose clothing. If
you've ever tried to stretch in a pair of jeans, you know what
I mean. It is important to have as much freedom of movement as
possible. You can't hurry a stretch unless you want to make the
muscle tighter, or damage it. The key to these stretches is to
hold the stretch for a minimum of 30 seconds, and even up to 1-2
minutes. This gives the muscle time to relax and lengthen. As
this occurs, the circulation is allowed to flow easier through
the muscle.
As you stretch a muscle, you will reach a point where you either
feel firm resistance, or definite discomfort. Usually, the pain
is a sign that the muscle is tight and needs the stretch. When
you reach either tightness or pain, hold the stretch at that point.
(Remember, to stretch a muscle it has to relax. That means you
shouldn't be using ANY muscles in the area of the stretch. For
instance, it is best to concentrate on using only your arms when
you are stretching the leg, thigh and neck muscles, or allowing
gravity to assist in the stretch of the lower back and pelvic
area. The more you can relax any muscle not being used to support
the stretch, the better it will be.)
As you hold this stretch, you will notice the tightness, or discomfort
begins to subside. At this point, stretch a little more. Keep
this progress up until there is no change. If the muscle is very
involved, you may not notice ANY let-up in pain or tightness from
the beginning. That's OK. At this point, simply hold the stretch
for 30-60 SECONDS.
Remember, it is VITAL to HOLD EACH STRETCH FOR AT LEAST 30 SECONDS
FOR IT TO BE OF ANY VALUE. The traditional 5-10 second stretch
that most of us grew up with CAN ACTUALLY SHORTEN AND WEAKEN THE
MUSCLES, and can INCREASE MUSCLE SPASMS WITHIN A MUSCLE. You have
to overcome the muscle's natural response of contraction when
tugged on. If you simply place a stretch on the muscle for a short
time, you trigger the contraction response, and don't allow the
muscle to continue through to the relaxation response.
IMPORTANT KEY TO IMPROVING MUSCLE STRETCH:
This is another little trick you can employ to further encourage
the muscle to relax. When you are through stretching, but before
you relax the stretch, contract the muscle you are stretching
with about 70% of your strength. For instance, if you are stretching
your thigh or buttock muscles, try to draw your leg down and out
in the opposite direction of the stretch. If you are doing this
correctly, you will feel some discomfort. Hold this contraction
for a count of 5-6 seconds and then relax the contraction but
don't let the leg, (or whatever) out of its stretch. Oftentimes,
you will actually be able to FURTHER stretch the muscle after
this technique.
This process actually "forces" the tight muscle fibers
to elongate because you have the muscle tissue that isn't involved
with the actual spasm stretched further than the muscle tissue
IN the spasm. When you contract the muscle in its "stretched-out
position, the muscle spasm HAS to elongate WITH the rest of the
tissue, at least to some degree. Using this technique regularly
with your stretches facilitates the circulation and relaxation
of the muscle.
One other trick you can do once you have completed the stretch,
but before you let it go, is to relax the stretch to just short
of tightness or pain for another 30+ seconds. This allows more
time for the lengthened muscle to receive more blood and discourage
the muscle from tightening back up as you relax the stretch.
If you have trouble with these, ask a friend to help you with
them. If you are older, with arthritic problems, a friend can
make the difference between success and failure. The key to all
of this is motion, as I've stated before. I am convinced that
a complicating factor in arthritis is the lack of motion over
a period of time. By incorporating these stretches and movements
on a regular basis, you can minimize degenerative changes. Of
course, as I've already mentioned, diet is a vitally important
factor as well, especially complete Mineral
intake.
This technique can be used for any muscle you have and any area
you may suspect of harboring a spasm, or for warm-up prior to
any sporting activity, and cool down stretching to minimize muscle
discomfort from toxin buildup due to the activity. This includes
all the areas listed and described below. You will be very surprised
at how much range of motion you have lost, even if you are young,
and how tight your muscles have become.
One last thing. These stretches can be done several times a day
without any harm. In fact, it is BEST to do them 3-4 times a day
in the case of spasms and pain. This help to re-establish circulation
within the muscle before it has time to tighten up again, and
you lose the benefit of the stretch. The key is to continue with
the stretching until you overcome the natural physiology of the
muscle problem. After this, you do the stretches at the end of
each day, just before you go to bed. You will find that these
stretches make for a great sleep in a relaxed condition. Oftentimes,
problems with sleep are caused by chronic tension within the muscles
of the body. This tension can stay there all night and prevent
the proper rest from taking place. Ever woke up tired and sore?
Now you know why.
In the work place, you can do the neck and shoulder stretches
right at your desk, and I highly recommend you do them routinely
if you want to minimize the pains you normally get from being
at the desk for long periods of time.
At home, you can have a friend or mate help. There will always
be some local spots within the muscle itself that will be "especially"
sensitive to touch. This is called a TRIGGER POINT. This spot
is a focal point of toxin buildup and inflammation. These spots
can be massaged, always massaging toward the heart, NOT away from
it. You can apply pressure to these spots for 5-10 seconds and
then release. This, combined with heat, can rapidly improve things.
In MOST cases, except for acute (just occurred) injury, HEAT is
the best choice between ice and heat. This has ALWAYS been an
area of controversy in the medical/health profession. My experience
is that most people prefer heat over cold.
The heat increases circulation in the area, which is what you
want, and it simply feels good. Cold causes contraction, something
you want to avoid, UNLESS IT IS AN INITIAL INJURY. You ALWAYS
want to put COLD on an injury that just occurs. You WANT to cause
contraction of the tissues and vessels to minimize swelling. The
swelling actually can cause more damage than the initial injury,
so COLD is important in these cases.
Otherwise, a hot pad or hot water bottle for approximately 20
minutes is good, BEFORE the stretch, at MEDIUM. This increases
circulation and can ease the discomfort while stretching or being
massaged. NEVER SLEEP ON A HEATING PAD, OR USE IT FOR MORE THAN
20 MINUTES. This can cause TOO much local circulation for too
long a time and actually SLOW the process down by creating a "fluid
jam." Remember, when you sleep, your circulation is greatly
reduced. Keep in mind too, that because you have toxins within
the muscle itself that have been trapped, when you stretch, you
will begin to RELEASE these toxins. They have to travel SOMEWHERE,
and this can cause some temporary general soreness throughout
the muscle as they irritate the surrounding tissues. This is very
temporary, however, and will pass.
It is good to drink plenty of good water, during this time especially.
Also, use of anti-inflammatory Cytolyse or InflamAway Enzymes
and digestive enzymes can make a tremendous difference in eliminating the actual inflammation and supporting other health functions.
You can also temporarily use some over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication,
like Ibuprofen, if the pain is severe. This can help to provide immediate relief in the first day or two while the enzymes go to work and you do the stretching technique. However, I always recommend providing the body with the elements it needs to prevent inflammation in
the first place. (Enzymes are one of the greatest deficiencies
that exists in the human body and are directly related to premature
degenerative changes in health.)
OCCASIONALLY, heat might cause your symptoms to actually increase
IF you have a highly inflamed situation going on. In MOST cases,
this won't occur. If it does, don't panic, just stop using the
heat and focus on stretching and easy, short periods of massage
of the area. The enzymes will really help here, too. Between stretching,
heat and massage, you will have a remarkably efficient means for
dealing with muscle spasm pain.
Stretches
Simply follow the instructions below for each stretch.
**NECK
laying on your back holding your upper head in your cupped hands;
- Forward stretch - chin to chest
- Right stretch---angle head to right while stretching muscle.
You should feel the stretch on the LEFT side of your neck and
even in the left mid-shoulder area.
- Left stretch---angle head to left while stretching. You should
feel the stretch on the RIGHT side of your neck and even in
the right mid-shoulder area.
MIDBACK: *Flat on back.
- Pull your knees up to your chest, and continue arching back,
drawing knees closer to your head. The full stretch will occur
when you have your knees right next to your head, on the floor.
This, of course, will take some time and effort for most people
since most haven't done this kind of stretch for decades. It
can be quite helpful to have someone support your back in this
stretch until your range of motion increases.
- * A word of caution with this stretch. You will find that
the older you are, the less you will be able to perform this
stretch. You won't be able to overcome 20, 30, 40 years of tightness
in a day or two. If you are elderly, or in poor health now,
you may want to check with your doctor regarding some of these
stretches.
- A variation of this stretch is to do the above stretch to
whatever degree you are able, and ant the same time, pull your
head forward, tucking your chin to your chest. This will often
cause your mid back spine to move" and you will hear the
"cracking." This is good, as the chapter on Chiropractic
Adjustments describes.
LOW BACK: Laying on floor.
- Pull both knees to chest.
- Pull right knee to chest, using only your arms and relaxing
your leg and hip muscles, and keeping your left leg as straight
as possible, and resting on the floor.
- Pull left knee to chest, using only your arms and relaxing
your leg and hip muscles, and keeping your right leg as straight
as possible, and resting on the floor.
- Lying on your back, rotate your hips to the left, with your
right side up, and your right leg drawn toward your chest somewhat,
but keeping your upper back as flat on floor as you can. You
may have the right shoulder riding up off the floor to allow
for your right knee to touch the floor. Relax as much as possible
and hold for 30-60+ seconds.
- Lying flat on your back, rotate your hips to the right, left
side up, with left leg drawn toward your chest somewhat, but
keeping your upper back as flat on floor as you can. You may
have the left shoulder riding up off the floor to allow for
your left knee to touch the floor. Relax as much as possible
and hold for 30-60+ seconds.
PELVIS/BUTTOCKS: Laying on floor.
This particular stretch effects THE most overlooked set of muscles
in the body. This is similar to the knee to chest stretch above,
and can be done at the same time as the above stretches.
- Pull your left knee to your chest, keeping your other leg
straight as possibly. As you pull the knee toward your body
as far as possible, angle it to the right across your midline.
Keep your left hand on your knee, maintaining the stretch, and
place your right hand on your lower leg or ankle. As you angle
your knee across your midline to the right, begin pulling on
your lower leg toward your head. You will begin to feel the
tightness right in the butt area, a DEEP tightness or pain.
These are the muscles that quite often cause low back, hip and
thigh pain due to spasms.
- Pull your right knee to your chest, keeping your other leg
straight as possibly. As you pull the knee toward your body,
angle it to the left across your midline. Keep your right hand
on your knee, maintaining the stretch, and place your left hand
on your lower leg or ankle. As you angle your knee across your
midline to the left, begin pulling on your lower leg toward
your head. You will begin to feel the tightness in the left
butt area. A DEEP tightness or pain. These are the muscles that
quite often cause low back, hip and thigh pain due to spasms.
SHOULDER/UPPER BACK: Sitting.
- Reach across your chest with your right arm and grab your
left arm just above the elbow. Keep your left arm straight and
pull your left arm across to your right as far as you can. At
the same time, turn your head half way to the right and drop
your chin to your chest. Let your neck relax and maintain the
pull on your left arm. You should feel the tightness in your
left shoulder blade area, the area between your spine and your
shoulder blade, and your left neck area. These are muscles that
can cause headache, neck pain, arm pain and upper back pain.
- Reach across your chest with your left arm and grab your right
arm just above the elbow. Keep your right arm straight and pull
your right arm across to your left as far as you can. At the
same time, turn your head half way to the left and drop your
chin to your chest. Let your neck relax and maintain the pull
on your right arm. You should feel the tightness in your right
shoulder blade area, as well as the area between your spine
and your shoulder blade, and your right neck area. These are
muscles that can cause headache, neck pain, arm pain and upper
back pain.
THIGH: Sitting on floor.
- Bend your right leg so as to almost sit on your right foot.
Keep your left leg straight or slightly bent at the knee. Supporting
yourself with your hands behind you on the floor, slowly lower
your upper body toward the floor. It probably won't take long
before you feel the discomfort right in the middle of your front
thigh area. Few people will be able to lower themselves to the
floor at first. Just go to the point where the tightness or
discomfort begins, but don't back off from this pain. You NEED
to go INTO the pain a little in order to make any changes to
the tight muscle. RELAX the muscle. you will find yourself tightening
the muscle as you feel the discomfort to prevent the stretch.
This won't work. Just go as far as you can without feeling the
need to tighten the muscle, but FAR enough to feel the stretch.
Having some support at your back as you do this can help. Hold
the position and try to relax the muscle as much as possible.
Remember, this isn't a torture session. It IS meant to loosen
and relax the muscles. If you are stretching this or any muscle
too much, you won't be able to relax it.
- Bend your left leg so as to almost sit on your left foot.
Keep your right leg straight or slightly bent at the knee. Supporting
yourself with your arms behind you on the floor, slowly lower
your upper body toward the floor in the same way as you did
with the other leg.
CALF: Standing facing wall, counter or table top.
- Plant your right foot flat on the floor, several feet from
the wall or counter top you are facing. Step toward the wall
or countertop with your left leg, but keep your right leg straight
with your toes pointed directly forward. Support yourself with
your arms against the wall as needed, and bend the left leg
to allow forward motion. If you are doing the stretch the right
way, you will feel the tightness or discomfort in your right
upper calf area. Maintain this stretch and be sure you don't
bend your knee on the side being stretched or you will lose
the stretch.
- Plant your left foot flat on the floor, several feet from
the wall or counter top you are facing. Step toward the wall
or countertop with your right leg, but keep your left leg straight
with your toes pointed directly forward. Support yourself with
your arms against the wall as needed, and bend the right leg
to allow forward motion. If you are doing the stretch the right
way, you will feel the tightness or discomfort in your left
upper calf area.
RANGE OF MOTION:
Range of motion (ROM) is included here as part of the stretch
technique. Range of motion is useful AFTER the initial stretch
to facilitate blood flow and help to lessen time in ridding the
tissues of toxins released by the stretch. Basically, ROM is applying
motion to various body areas through the entire range which that
particular area can go through. Obviously if injury is involved
you wouldn't apply ROM without your doctor's approval, but for
general maintenance, it is very good.
ROM consists of slow, deliberate motion in every direction you
can but doing it in a circular motion. For instance, ROM of the
neck would involve a slow circular motion, perhaps 5 to the left
and then 5 to the right. This can be done with any extremity or
joint in the body. Arthritic joints such as shoulders can respond
to a slow ROM and what is called the "Wall Crawl." This
involves facing a wall and placing your hand flat against the
wall at shoulder level, with arm bent at the elbow. Slowly, using
your fingers, crawl your arm up the wall, keeping the heel of
your hand resting against the wall after each "crawl."
Do this to the point of pain and or tightness, and then hold AND
RELAX. The wall supports the arm and allows slow, but steady movement.
This is, of course, done over time and can increase joint ROM,
even in arthritic joints.
**NECK MUSCLES!
I want to be a little more specific in this area of stretching
due to the nature of the area. As mentioned above, the general
stretching will help a lot to relax the muscles in the area. A
method you can use to help this process is to have someone do
the following procedure:
Hold the person's head in your weaker hand so you have your strength
for the process. Turning the head away from the side you will
be working on. You will be able to feel where the muscles of the
neck attach to the back of the base of the head. If you start
at the very base of the head, up above the hair line, using your
thumb for greater action, press into the area anywhere between
the two bony bumps (mastoid process) behind each of the ears.
The line of attachment of the muscles will begin right at the
bottom of these bumps and move toward the midline of the skull,
rising in an arc as you go toward the middle. With a little practice,
you will readily feel where the muscles attach.
It is much better to use a lotion or gel for this procedure because
you will be pulling the hair and adding to the discomfort if you
don't. Just enough to make your thumb or finger slide easily along
the skull where the muscles attach. Beginning at the top of the
attachment area, even if you start on the actual skull above the
muscle attachments. Press in on the tissue and slide DOWN the
head and neck, toward the heart. Be sure to have the "patient"
let you know where the "hot" spots are, and how much
they can tolerate. If you press too much, they will tighten up,
defeating the process.
WILL DEFINITELY BE TENDER!!! Chronic muscle spasms cause increased
pull on the bone where the muscles attach to the skull. This area
can become quite sensitive and is most often the cause of general
headaches. Always massage TOWARD THE HEART for the following reason;
Remember that toxins are involved with muscle spasms. Inflammation
and toxins can be FORCED higher into the already inflamed tissues,
WITH NO WHERE TO GO INTO GENERAL CIRCULATION, if you rub or massage
UPWARD toward the skull. This can worsen and prolong the problem.
Before and after the massage action, you can apply MEDIUM heat
to the area for about 5-10 minutes, but no longer. Simply take
a towel and hold it at the short end at the corners, allowing
it to drop down. Fold it in half, top to bottom, then in half
the other way, and then roll it up. A couple big rubber bands
are very handy to place on this roll to hold it in place. Take
a heating pad and place it over the curve of the towel, and lay
your neck down on the towel, holding up any long hair that might
be there. The hair will insulate the heat from the area if it
remains between the pad and neck. The towel's curve will support
your neck in a good neutral position, and the heat will increase
the circulation.
BE SURE TO DO "SOME" MASSAGE AFTER YOU DO THIS,
ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS TENDERNESS AT THE SKULL/NECK JUNCTION.
You don't want to heat up the area and then NOT drive some of
the toxins out.
If you are having any problems with any of these stretches or
techniques, please feel free to email me. I have used these stretches
with excellent results for people who have had chronic neck and
back pain that wouldn't go away. This kind of pain is even often
overlooked by Chiropractors and Physical Therapists. Stretching
can be a simple solution to years of suffering. If you have chronic
pain from previous injuries, I have treatment protocol for addressing
these problems and I can discuss them with you and your doctor.
Nutritional support for your muscle pain and inflammation is
quite affective. Since inflammation is a natural part of any muscle
spasm or pain problem, using a good anti-inflammatory that not
only eliminates the toxic buildup in the muscle, but actually
breaks down inflammatory by-products and speeds up the healing
process.
With that, I wish you happy stretching!

The
Leading Cause of Chronic Muscle PAIN,
