Tight muscles can be a sign of cold, poor circulation, toxicity, or tension. Keep muscles warm and blood flowing through the muscle to encouraging the muscle to relax. Stretch the muscle gently while massaging it. Don't overstretch the muscle since this will cause the muscle to contract.

When one muscle is tense, complimentary muscles become too weak. Strengthen the complimentary muscle to restore equal balance. Foam rollers can help improve flexibility. Consider turmeric, which invigorates and warms the blood. Reduce toxins by maintaining good digestion.

Deep breathing can help all the muscles in the body relax.
