    Experiencing mild to intense disscomfort when beginning a self-myofascial relase program is typically caused by                                 .

    • Knots and adhesions that have formed over time without regular application of SMR

    • Poor posture

    • Extreme flexibility

    • Deconditioned muscles

    Correct Answer
    A. Knots and adhesions that have formed over time without regular application of SMR
    Explanation
    Experiencing mild to intense discomfort when beginning a self-myofascial release (SMR) program is typically caused by knots and adhesions that have formed over time without regular application of SMR. These knots and adhesions are areas of tightness and restriction in the muscles and fascia, which can cause pain and discomfort when pressure is applied during SMR. Regular application of SMR helps to break up these knots and adhesions, improving muscle function and reducing discomfort. Poor posture, extreme flexibility, and deconditioned muscles may also contribute to discomfort during SMR, but the primary cause is the presence of knots and adhesions.
