Musculature is a complex and effective structure that allows movement to any living being . It determines part of its physical and structural form, thus making it part of the so-called: Vital systems .

In the human being, as in all living beings that possess the skeleton, the musculature keeps every joint firm and composed , allows movement, strength, resistance and flexibility. It therefore represents a fundamental part of survival.

Being an excellent elastic that Nature has generated in all living beings since the dawn of life, in addition to enjoying incredible flexibility and resistance, it enjoys various self-defense and self-repair systems .

Muscle contracture can be seen as a natural alarm that occurs when we are carrying out a movement or a series of movements that endanger both the musculature itself and any other type of tissue.

In fact, thanks to the information that is transmitted to it by the nervous system , which in addition to supporting the structure, takes care of defending all vital organs from strong impacts , from sudden movements made with excessive effort or speed. If a movement is perceived by the musculature as greater than what the physical structure of an individual can easily support, contracture arises. The same phenomenon occurs when an organ has any form of inflammation.

Therapy against inflammation

Among the various therapeutic methods that can be practiced to solve a contracture there is thermotherapy .

It has been known for some time that heat helps to resolve physical tensions , inflammations, the wars that the immune system plays against micro invaders, injuries and often even against certain diseases.

Our own body increases heat as the first response to any chemical disorder that occurs within it. As body heat increases, the tissues dilate, facilitating any type of communication between cells and also their mobilization between the tissues.  

When we exceed our limits and a contracture arises, we can facilitate and speed up its healing by increasing the heat in that particular point by putting simple bands or by relying on machines assigned to thermotherapy.

However, we must not forget the thermotherapy that nature has given us through our hands, for example: After every trauma or injury, the human being instinctively places his hands in the painful spot. This too is a heat-dense natural repair system and, according to the latest scientific theories on genetics, dense with information that restores the affected tissue. 

The heat, source and source of life, if properly managed and stored in one’s body in a balanced quantity, can guarantee the healing and restoration of any tissue.
