Muscular Pain

Muscle aches and pain is common - more so for active individuals or someone new to physical activities like exercise. Just like a machine whose parts experience wear and tear with constant use, our body goes through the same experience.
‍
It is critical to listen to your body and not push it too far beyond its limit.
‍
Individuals who experience aches and pain can often identify their discomfort's cause. There is no single cause of muscle aches and pain, but a common one is prolonged or extended use, including overuse. Muscle tissue can be found in almost every part of the body, and so the discomfort.
‍
In essence, it is caused by:
‍
• Muscle tension in one or more areas of the body
‍
• Overuse of muscle during physical activity
‍
• Injury to the muscle from engaging in physically demanding work and/or exercise
