Pulse Wave MFM

Are tight bands or "knots" of muscle that cause pain and are most often associated with the arms, legs, neck, and back. Symptoms include deep aching pain in a muscle that persists or worsens.

With muscle imbalances, improper use, overuse, and age, clients may experience some pain due to wear and tear of the neck muscles and joints. In addition, some experience more intense pain caused by nerves, ligaments, and muscles that have been irritated. Symptoms include neck pain which often increases with movement. Symptoms also include stiffness of the neck muscles, numbness, muscle weaknesses, limited range of motion, headache, and neck pain.

Acute or chronic pain and loss of range of motion of the shoulder caused by overuse, muscle imbalances, scarring, and swelling of the shoulder tendon or joint. Pain can occur after a shoulder injury or after prolonged immobilization of the shoulder. Symptoms include pain, decreased motion, swelling, redness, and tenderness at the site. Symptoms also include pain with reaching, lifting, and overhead activities. In addition, tenderness may be experienced through the front, side, and back of the shoulder.

Muscle imbalances that cause pain in the elbow or arm caused by a tendon or joint inflammation. Symptoms include pain, decreased motion, swelling, redness, and tenderness at the site. The pain may become worse with bending the wrist, twisting the forearm down, or grabbing objects.

Muscle imbalances that cause painful inflammation of a tendon in the finger or wrist as a result of overuse or over-stretching of the tendon, trauma, infection, or inflammatory diseases. Muscle imbalances also cause acute or chronic pain due to compression of the median nerve in the wrist. Symptoms include wrist pain, hand pain, numbness of the thumb and/or fingers, pain and tenderness along a tendon, pain worse with movement or activity—redness of the area over the tendon where there is inflammation.

Back pain can result from muscle imbalances, a strain (a stretched or torn muscle injury), or a sprain (an over-stretched or torn ligament). It can also occur over time as a result of compensation, gravity, and normal use. Symptoms include dull or aching pain, pain radiating down the leg, decreased flexibility, difficulty moving, pain with movement, and occasional numbness and weakness. Pain can be constant or intermittent, stay in one place or radiate to other areas and maybe a dull ache or a sharp piercing or burning sensation.

Painful inflammation of a tendon or joint in your pelvis or hip area, which can be the result of muscle imbalances, overuse or over-stretching of the tendon, trauma, infection, or inflammatory diseases. Symptoms include joint and/or tendon pain, swelling, redness, increased warmth, decreased motion. Pain is worse with movement or activity.

Muscle imbalances, painful inflammation of a tendon or joint can be the result of overuse or overstretching of the tendon, trauma, infection, or inflammatory diseases. Symptoms include pain and tenderness along a tendon. Pain is worse with movement or activity, redness of the area over the tendon when there is inflammation.

Calf pain in the lower leg is often a result of muscle imbalances, inflammation of the tendon that extends from the lower calf to the heel. Pain is typically located at the back of the ankle and worsens with walking.
Shin pain can result from overuse of the leg. The pain can arise from inflammation of the bone, muscle, or connective tissue. The most common causes are ill-fitting shoes, overtraining, and/or running on hard surfaces. Symptoms include calf pain or swelling in the back of the ankle, decreased ankle movement.
Pain in the shin's front and back are often worse at the beginning of the exercise session—mild swelling of the front of the lower leg, pain with bending toes or foot downward.

Heel pain is typically the result of muscle imbalances, overuse but can be caused by a major injury. Heel pain usually occurs on the back or underside of your heel.
Ankle pain or a sprain is often the result of a forceful twisting of the ankle causing a tear of ligaments in the ankle, in which no bones are broken. Symptoms include heel pain on the bottom, the front edge of the heel, tenderness over the bottom of the foot. Symptoms also include pain of varying degrees when walking, which is usually worse in the morning and improves throughout the day, ankle pain, swelling, bluish discoloration, slight increased warmth to the injured area.
