Have you ever struggled with weak muscles related to pain or injury?

Many of us have struggled with weak muscles related to pain or injury at some stage.

The most common advice I see out there is to strengthen weak muscles with exercises–but I wouldn't be doing my job if I don't help correct that misunderstanding.

It's not uncommon for people to experience weak muscles related to pain or injury, but the truth is that simply strengthening these muscles may not be enough. In fact, it might not be the right approach at all.

The root cause of these weak muscles isn't a lack of strength, but rather a protective mechanism in the nervous system known as inhibition.

Our nervous systems prevent further damage by reducing electrical signals to the muscles, resulting in weakness. This is a type of compensation that the body uses to protect itself.

So, what can you do to regain full strength and eliminate the pain? At Youngify, we use hands-on techniques to calm the nervous system and break the protection feedback loop. This leads to immediate and lasting results within the appointment time.

It's important to note that if the pain or injury is caused by autoimmune disease, hormone imbalances, or other types of health problems, then the nervous system's protective feedback loop is likely not the primary issue.

If there’s no pain or injury and your muscles aren’t as strong as you want them to be, then yes, resistance exercises are the right thing to do.

In summary, don't waste your time and effort on just strengthening weak muscles to help with pain or recovery from injury. Understanding the root cause of the problem and seeking the right solution can lead to long-lasting relief and improved well-being.
