Muscle imbalances could be the causes for number of muscles, metabolic and postural dysfunctions and syndromes. Studies have proved that a very high percentage of people with back pain suffer due to tight muscles or muscle imbalances. If muscle imbalances are left untreated, it may lead to degenerative spinal conditions. Excessive forces exerted on spinal joints, ligaments and discs due to over active or under active muscles causes degenerative spine.
