I don't know if this will help anyone but it seemed very thorough and facinating to me. All the the best, all.

Unfortunately the article totally ignores over contracted muscles. Why is this? Medical consultants do not study how to lengthen out over contracted muscles.

Over contracted muscles can easily occur. Most people are familiar with muscle cramp. This is where a whole muscle group goes into cramp. You can get micro-cramps. Here you get groups of muscle fibres go into cramp.

Muscles have nerve inputs to contract sets of muscle fibres. There are no nerve inputs to tell a muscle to uncontract. The nerve inputs just tell a muscle to stop contracting. If the muscle has over contracted it will remain contracted until some external physical force lengthens out the muscle. Many masseurs know how to do this in a five minute manipulation. The medical consultant's treatment is months of various drug therapies such as pain killers.

This is very interesting. Thanks for bringing this up. I will certainly mention this to a friend of mine who is an osteopath to mention in her blog.
