The Vicious Circle of Chronic Tension

Job's Body: "Sustained [muscle] contraction reduces circulation in the area by squeezing the small arteries and capillaries which service the working cells with glucose and oxygen -- the more work, the more need; the more constant tension, the less the fuel delivery, the less the delivery the more difficult the work." p. 131

These tense muscles suffer from "deeper metabolic debts, draining energy from other parts of the body, producing ischemia and toxic wastes, creating discomfort and eventual disuse." p. 133

She: And disuse isn't going to help the situation any
