Doing it for your own good

When we experience tension, it often is not the muscles that are the issue but the nervous system signaling them to lock up and “protect.”⁠ ⁠ In order to avoid a perceived risk of injury, our nervous systems will take away some range of motion in a joint by reducing the output of the muscles that move that joint.

By sending direct current stimulation to the right areas, it is possible to re-educate the nervous system to increase function and improve range of motion.
