Causes of Muscle Tension and Fatigue

Muscle tension and fatigue can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Intense exercise: Engaging in high-intensity exercise can cause muscle damage, leading to muscle tension and fatigue.
• Poor recovery: Inadequate recovery time and poor recovery strategies can lead to muscle tension and fatigue.
• Muscle imbalances: Muscle imbalances, where some muscle groups are overactive and others are underactive, can lead to muscle tension and fatigue.
• Poor posture: Poor posture can lead to muscle tension and fatigue, particularly in the neck, back, and shoulder muscles.
• Stress: Stress can cause muscle tension and fatigue, particularly in the neck, back, and shoulder muscles.
