Relax Muscle
Physical therapists, what is the order in which muscles relax?

It’s like a Russian doll. We have to relax a muscle to get the next muscle to get to the next muscle.

For instance, the adducters need to let go, then the quads can let go.

Is there a “master list” printed somewhere?

I would love to have it.

Thanks.

There is no scientific basis for saying one muscle HAS to “relax” before the next one can…however, what you might be referring to is a technique called progressive muscle relaxation. This is actually a pain management/stress management technique promoted by many pscyhologists, but many PTs are familiar with it as well.

Here is an overview of it….

…other than that, I’m not sure what other type of technique you are referring to, or in what context…

eletric stim forces muscle to contract and relax yea?

if this is used to strengthen muscles and grow them ..which it is can this be used to enlarge your penis?

Yes electrical stimulus will cause muscle to contract. Since a man’s penis is not msucle it will not help there. Internally it is made of spongy tissue that fills with blood to form an erection.
