Muscle Reactivation

Muscle-reactivationMuscle reactivation uses the stimulation of neurolymphatic points which affect the efficiency of muscle activity.

Muscles all over the body have reactivation points. Frequently located on the front torso, these points connect via the lymphatic system.  For example, the reactivation point for the calves is around the stomach area.

Muscles tend to draw power from the body as a whole, which forms a circuit. When the circuit is compromised, specific muscles  may become inactive. This may distort posture, diminish performance, reduce strength and flexibility. An inactive muscle will often put stress on other areas inducing further inactivity. For example, an inactive psoas muscle can place stress on the glut muscles.  This additional stress on the gluts can cause them, in turn, to become inactive.

One of the ways a muscle may be tested is by using specific exercises. If a muscle is found to be weak, the appropriate reactivation points are then stimulated. The muscle may be re-tested immediately to assess improvement.

Apart from helping with disorders, muscle reactivation has been shown to help sports people improve performance in endurance, strength and flexibility.
