Answer
Hi, Matthew,

When we get injured, there is a universal response:  muscles tighten up related to the injured or painful area.  Tight muscles get sore, make joints tight, and restrict movement

That sounds like what happened to you.

Those muscles are the first to get tighter, when we exercise, and the last to let go.  I think that's why your gym workouts have caused problems.

Please see my article on recovery from injuries at somatics.com/page4b.htm for more information and what you can do.

See, also, somatics.com/page3.htm for perspective on the results of osteopathic treatments.
