WARDING OFF INJURY Soft-tissue injuries may also be caused by a single episode of twisting, falling, or receiving a blow to the body. Six common types of soft-tissue injuries result from overuse or from an acute injury:

sprains
strains
contusions
tendinitis
bursitis
stress injuries

The severity of each injury determines the type and length of treatment and possible long-term problems.

Muscle is the largest single tissue mass of the human body. It represents between 40-50% of the body's weight and is a tremendous source of pain. Many of the injuries to muscle are related to its unique anatomy and blood supply.

Muscles are composed of a series of parallel segments. Each of these segments are separate from each other and receives its own blood supply. Blood and nutrients are not shared between adjacent segments. Here lies the problem.

If one segment becomes exhausted of its energy and nutrient supply during exercise, it shortens and tightens up. When the muscle segment tightens, it squeezes off its blood supply. That makes nutrient replenishment and energy regeneration impossible. This only occurs to isolated segments while the surrounding muscle segments may be perfectly normal. However, the normal segments cannot share energy or nutrients with their famished neighbors.

The shortened segments that are nutrient and energy depleted are extremely irritable and tender to the touch. Think about it; how do you feel when you are hungry and tired at the end of a long day? You need what these starved muscle segments need, a recovery period. You need food and the time to rebuild lost metabolic, energy stores and repair damaged tissues.

The problem is two-fold, nutritional and biomechanical. The tightness of the muscle segments is a biomechanical carrier that prohibits blood flow. Step-one eliminates the biomechanical barrier and re-establishes liberal blood flow into the energy segments. Step-two insures that a full complement of nutrients are present in the blood at the moment the biomechanical barriers are eliminated. A system is needed that allows for the efficient delivery of nutrient rich blood to recovering muscle for optimal repair and nutrient repletion.
