Activities of daily living as well as recreational and
competitive sports performance place a large amount of
stress on the various structures of the body.
To give you one example, as you are sitting reading this
paragraph, it is more than likely that you have a poor
posture leading to stresses and eventual muscle
imbalance. This stress can manifest itself in many ways.
These include muscle tension, poor digestive and
metabolic functioning and a reduction in the rate of
blood return to the heart to name but a few.
