Muscular imbalances

Muscular imbalances occur when certain muscle groups are stronger or more flexible than their opposing muscles (antagonists). This can lead to issues such as poor posture, restricted mobility, or an increased risk of injury. Common causes include one-sided strain in daily life, improper training, or prolonged sitting.

An example is well-developed chest muscle combined with weak back muscles, which can result in forward-pulled shoulders. Corrective training that focuses on balance and mobility is essential to prevent or correct these imbalances.
