The older you get, the heavier the "tendon contraction", and the big problem is if you don't pull it away in time! No wonder there are often back pain, leg pain, and heel pain

As the saying goes: life is in motion.
When the weather warms up, many people put walks on their agendas in order to maintain good health.
Walking thousands of steps a day, my legs and feet are much lighter, but my body is always tight - it's time to stretch!


The old tendons are too short and the life span is difficult to prolong
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the tendons of the whole body are divided into twelve systems according to the parts of the twelve meridians, which are called the twelve meridian tendons.
"Neijing" cloud "all tendons belong to the section", and the cloud "the main tendon of the sect binds the bones and benefits the organs".
To put it simply, the reason why human joints can flex and extend is precisely because of the contraction and relaxation of tendons.
The tendons and bones of the human body, along with the flesh and skin, form the shell, which contains the internal organs and protects the internal organs from damage.
Therefore, only when the muscles and bones are flexible and flexible can we have a flexible and healthy body.
However, with the increase of age, the flexibility of the human body will slowly "slip", resulting in "tendon contraction".
In daily life, the elderly have reduced muscle strength and balance, and are prone to accidental falls, which is related to tendon contraction.
In addition, the soreness of the waist and legs, which is common among middle-aged and elderly people, is also affected by tendon contraction.
What are the manifestations of tendon contraction?
Whether there is a tendon contraction or not, you can make a self-judgment through the following symptoms:
  • tight neck pain;

  • stiffness and pain in the lower back;

  • Can't bend over;

  • back pain;

  • leg pain and paralysis;

  • Can't squat;

  • long and short legs;

  • tendons of the heel have radiating traction pain;

  • The pace is not big, and the dense walk is walked;

  • The ligaments of the hip joint have a feeling of tension;

  • The thighs can neither be lifted nor stretched horizontally;

  • physical inflexibility;

  • muscle contraction/atrophy;

  • The hand cannot be stretched and flexed, etc.

All of the above symptoms are manifestations of tendon contraction.
With the popularization of computers and smart phones, modern society can be seen everywhere with bowed heads and sedentary people, and tendon contraction is not only the patent of the elderly, but also the tendon shrinkage problems such as tendon strain and limb stiffness among many young and middle-aged people and even students.
For this kind of people, if they can stretch regularly, the effect is good in relieving neck pain, low back pain, heel pain, etc.
