3.

What in combination with bad posture can cause further disability?
- Unhealthy diet
- Stress
- Not enough stretching
- All of the above
Correct Answer

A. All of the above

Explanation

All of these factors can influence a dysfunction in a negative manner. Unhealthy diet such as not drinking enough water or lack of specific nutrients can decrease healing time of an injured area or be a predisposing factor to injury. Stress is probably one of the top two factors(sleep quality is the other) that can cause muscles that are tight to even become more tight. Stretching helps to relax and lengthen tight and short muscles. It can be used as a form of treatment and a form of prevention.

What is the technical term for a "knot" in a muscle that refers to other body parts?

Correct Answer
Trigger points

Explanation
Trigger points are the technical term for knots in muscles that refer pain to other body parts. These points are hyperirritable spots within taut bands of skeletal muscles and can cause pain, tenderness, and restricted movement. When these trigger points are pressed or stimulated, they can cause referred pain in other areas of the body, often distant from the actual point of origin.
