...if the muscles become too tense, so too does the mind

Muscles often become excessively tight and this can affect flexibility, relaxation and muscle balance. Tight muscles result from overuse, excessive stress and the accumulative wear and tear on tissue from everyday usage. This can lead to reduced circulation to the area, restricting nourishment and increasing toxicity, tension, stiffness and pain.
