INJURY CAUSE, PREVENTION AND RECOVERY: PART II

PART II: WHY INJURIES OCCUR

1) Poor Form (as mentioned in Part I).

2) Overuse. Too much resistance, more than the body can handle, or not enough rest between exercising same muscle/muscles. An injury can then occur because a) one strains the agonist, b) one sprains the ligament of the joint in motion, c) one strains the antagonist trying to balance and counter the motion, d) one strains other recruiting muscles because the agonist is not strong enough to handle the load.

PART III: RECOVERY

6) Applied Kinesiology. Kinesiology is the study of muscles and movement. Applied Kinesiology utilizes muscle-testing techniques to determine where there are muscular, structural and functional imbalances in the body. Treatment involves balancing the musculoskeletal system by stimulating various reflexes to enhance lymphatic circulation and blood flow, and/or treating the muscle at its origin and insertion (where they attach via tendons to the bone), or in the belly of the muscle where the muscle spindle is regulating contraction and relaxation. Treatment may also involve recommending specific nutrients to speed up the healing process.
