KINGAROY, Australia - AussieJournal -- Studies have shown that there is an alteration of muscle tissue health in spinal pain sufferers. It has also been shown that muscle activation patterns change as soon as the individual is feeling pain, such that different muscles are recruited when performing a task with neck muscle pain as without pain. These alternative muscle use patterns switch off core muscles and recruit more superficial muscles, creating weakness and instability as well as overuse tightness/injury.

Active exercise in this pain state can actually perpetuate this compensation muscle activation pattern. It has been recommended that pain is reduced before active exercise programs are introduced. Also, specific muscle exercise is recommended over general exercise to reprogram these pain induced patterns and re-establish better motor programs.
