The universal cause of any kind of musculo skeletal pain is the lack of proper exercises.

In Clinical perspective, proper exercises are those exercises which involve the recruitment of the deep muscles. Most people and most Gyms (Almost 98%) do exercises in consultation with people who have no knowledge of Muscle Function and Bio Mechanics of Human Body. They engage their clients in heavy muscle loading exercises without proper assessment of muscle and joint status or the Cardio Pulmonary status. This leads to abnormal muscle activation (Compensatory Activation of Secondary Muscles) and thereby destructive, harmful and degenerative changes in muscle tissue and joints.

A common myth which prevails everywhere in the world, is that walking will take care of MUSCLE TISSUE ISSUES of the body. If I do walking, then I do not need any exercise.
But this is a WRONG CONCEPTION. Walking is just a CALORIE BURNING exercise. It does not nourish or tone or strengthen your Large Muscle or the Deep Layer muscles. It does improve your cardio pulmonary function but it does not contribute in MAINTAINING YOUR NORMAL MUSCLE. For Maintaining normal muscle health, POSTURAL EXERCISE OF ALL MUSCLE GROUPS must be incorporated into your regular Exercise Schedule. This will only take care of your muscle health.

It has been observed that since the onset of Mobile Phone and Laptop Revolution, there is drastic increase in the number of spine surgeries or DISC PROLAPSE issues in the last one and a half decade, even of youngsters. This is all due to Mobile and Laptop usage.
If we have continuous use of Mobile Phones or Laptops, then, we have to have a dedicated regular schedule of Exercises of Neck and Back, interspersed in between the continuous working hours.

Sometimes despite doing regular exercises severe pain related issues crop up.
This might be due to deficient nutritional status of a person. If the diet lacks Vitamin D, Calcium, Electrolytes and other Vital ingredients necessary for the upkeep of our muscle and soft tissue health, then we might experience regular pain despite all systematic exercises. This issue must be discussed with an Orthopaedician or a trained Clinical Physiotherapist.

According to latest research studies, Mind and Soft tissues are very closely connected to each other. Stress imposed on the body gets stored in body tissues even though it may be mental stress. This stress needs to be downloaded from the tissues and the guidance of a Physiotherapist specialised in dealing with Psychosomatic Issues must be consulted with. They are trained to help unload the stress stored in the tissues.
