Muscle stiffness


Muscle stiffness typically occurs after increased activity when muscle fibres are stretched beyond their usual limits and cause restricted movement. Muscle stiffness can be from under-oxygenation and build up of lactic acid in the muscle tissue leading to cramps. Muscle stiffness can also be an indicator of other problems such as flu, viral infection or an immune system deficiency. Elderly people can suffer acute and chronic muscle stiffness due to long periods of inactivity.
