What Is Muscle Tension/Stress?

Muscle tension often results from physical stress, posture issues, or mental stress, leading to discomfort in areas such as the neck, shoulders, and jaw. Persistent tension can contribute to headaches, jaw pain, or general body aches, affecting overall well-being. Effective management of muscle tension helps improve relaxation, reduce pain, and restore physical comfort. Addressing muscle tension is essential for both mental and physical health, as it can also improve sleep and daily energy.
