  2. Muscle energy technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_energy_technique

    Muscle energy is a direct and active technique, meaning it engages a restrictive barrier and requires the patient's participation for maximal effect. A restrictive barrier describes the limit in range of motion that prevents the patient from reaching the baseline limit in their range of motion. [ 5 ]

  3. Fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatigue

    Fatigue in a medical context is used to cover experiences of low energy that are not caused by normal life. [2] [3]A 2021 review proposed a definition for fatigue as a starting point for discussion: "A multi-dimensional phenomenon in which the biophysiological, cognitive, motivational and emotional state of the body is affected resulting in significant impairment of the individual's ability to ...

  4. Muscle fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_fatigue

    Muscle fatigue is when muscles that were initially generating a normal amount of force, then experience a declining ability to generate force.It can be a result of vigorous exercise, but abnormal fatigue may be caused by barriers to or interference with the different stages of muscle contraction.

  5. Alexander Technique - Wikipedia

    It concluded that "the Alexander Technique may improve short-term pain and disability in people with low back pain, but the longer-term effects remain uncertain. For all other clinical conditions, the effectiveness of the Alexander Technique was deemed to be uncertain, due to insufficient evidence."

  6. Stretching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretching

    Stretching is a form of physical exercise in which a specific muscle or tendon (or muscle group) is deliberately expanded and flexed in order to improve the muscle's felt elasticity and achieve comfortable muscle tone. [1] The result is a feeling of increased muscle control, flexibility, and range of motion.

  7. Relaxation technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxation_technique

    It addresses both psychological and physiological effects of stress such as increased heart rate, sweating, and muscle tension. [2] There are many variations of relaxation techniques, including progressive muscle relaxation, autogenic training, guided imagery, biofeedback-assisted relaxation, and other techniques. [3] [4] [5] [6]

  8. Relaxation (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxation_(psychology)

    Relaxation is a form of mild ecstasy coming from the frontal lobe of the brain in which the backward cortex sends signals to the frontal cortex via a mild sedative. [citation needed] Relaxation can be achieved through meditation, autogenics, breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation and other means. Relaxation helps improve coping with ...

  9. BK channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BK_channel

    These channels can be activated (opened) by either electrical means, or by increasing Ca 2+ concentrations in the cell. [2] [3] BK channels help regulate physiological processes, such as circadian behavioral rhythms and neuronal excitability. [4] BK channels are also involved in many processes in the body, as it is a ubiquitous channel.
