Euphoria - PUSH Therapy Specialists

WHAT IS CPT: Chronic passive tension is the presence of chronic tension in a muscle while the muscle is at rest. When Chronic Passive Tension is present, muscles continue contracting during periods of inactivity, such as sleep or sitting for long periods. The result is often pain to a muscle, joint, tendon or ligament.

"For many years, I was under the false impression that stiffness in my knees was the result of the aging process. However, Push therapy has returned the flexibility I once had, without pain. I highly recommend not only Push therapy but this very well-trained therapist, Jeanie Mark."

Limited range of motion caused by Chronic Passive Tension can limit flexibility and mobility by shortening of muscles that control the joint. If the muscles and associated tendons are short and tight before an activity begins the body has to work harder to perform the activity. This additional work, combined with the decreased blood flow that is also a result of CPT, results in increased fatigue and even more tension.

If this pattern persists, the tension continues to build until it develops into pain. The pain may at first be occasional, but can become chronic. Once this pattern develops in soft tissue it is very difficult, if not impossible, to change without assistance.
