Erik Dalton Mystery of Muscle Guarding

When the brain senses bony instability or tissue damage in-and-around the spine, information is compiled and 'fast-tracked' to the brain where a determination is made as to the degree of threat and appropriate action required. Layering the area with protective muscle guarding is a common decision handed down by the cortex when joint lesions threaten central nervous system functioning. Protective spasm is the brain's reflexogenic attempt to prevent further insult to injured tissues. By splinting the area with spasm, muscle 'locking' effectively reduces painful joint movements. The brain's motto: "If in doubt, lock it out." http://daltonarticles.com/MuscleGuardNews.html
