What are AngryMuscles?

Angrymuscles are quite simply leg muscles that have been pushed too far, toofast, and too often-and not been allowed to calm down and recover themselves

Some of the symptoms of them include, fatigue, soreness, throbbing, not being able to keep the legsstill, a feeling of restlessness, swollen ankles, cramping, irritability, stiffnessBear in mind that many of the above have a medical component to them so you should be gettingthem checked out and treated by a medical professionalOnce this has been done, it is time to consider other options such as podiatrists, physiotherapists,chiropractors to see if there is a physical contribution to them that can be sorted out-it is no usetreating the symptoms unless the cause has been addressedAssuming all has been cleared, then a look at whether a leg servicing system done on a regular basismay benefit them-an

anger

management course for the legs may be an option

Do your legs need anangermanagement course?

Why do your legs get aching legs and the muscles getangry?

Overuse

andabuseof muscles

These people have been running for 3 days-their muscles have been

overused

and are extremely

sore

to touch-the fibers have

micro-tears

in them which are being healed by the body-one of thefirst stages in their repair is

inflammation

which produces heatIf an attempt is made to use conventional methods of recovery at this stage, such as working

themuscles, it can break into the healing process and increase the time it takes to recover-rubbing theskin

stimulates

the pain receptors in the skin and muscle structures which are already

overstimulated

and

angry

Legs are like people when they are

angry,

you can’t reason with them or do anything much except just ride out the storm and wait for them to calm down on their own-if they are being abused on aconstant basis, they will never calm down-they will be chronically angry like the legs aboveOr you can make an attempt to calm them down-usually you can do this by addressing the problemthat caused the anger in the first place-this is what I did to the legs of the runner on page 2He was in a similar position after running too far too fast and too long and

angered

his muscles

His legs were soangryhalf an hour before this picture was taken-his muscles hadgone on strike and stopped working completelyWhat happened-why the difference?I put his legs through anangermanagement course and showed them how to calmdown-then I serviced them to get them moving againAching legs are usually part of the anger provocation cycle

If you spend much of your working life, hobbies, sports or other activities on your legs, using them,or just sitting down inactive, the ability to pump used blood and fluid from the lower legs back upto the body for refreshment and recycling is affected

The calf muscles are the motors and power supply for a pump that moves used fluid up the legsback to the body if they are not being worked efficiently the flow of used blood and fluid from thelower legs is reduced, and when the legs are used too much, reduced flow of fresh blood to themuscle tissues reduces the ability to recover quickly

If muscles are not constantly supplied with fresh oxygen filled blood, theyfatigue within a short time

Swollen anklescan be theresult of inefficient useof calf muscles

Lower Leg CirculationTo keep the circulation in the lower legs going, a similar volume should bepumped out of the legs as flows into them

Old blood and fluid is taken out of the lower legs through the veins back to the body, fresh blood issupplied to the muscles through the arteries

Fluid always finds its own level because of gravity

All fluids (when in a confined space) exert a pressure on the walls of the vessels it is confined in-because it is in a column, the pressure is greater at the bottom than at the top-the surface has verylittle pressure on it

Gravity and the weight of fluid in the body

Pressure varies with the height of the liquid column-in the veins of a person standing up-at the head,the pressure is almost non-existent, but at the feet the lowest part of the body the pressure is higher.The term hydrostatic pressure refers to the force that a liquid exerts against the walls of its container(Hydro-water Static-standing still) and is measured in mm hg.Head -10 mm hg

Feet +90 MM hgThe only thing preventing all the fluid running out of the feet is the ends of the toes!
