What Causes Muscle Stiffness?

Muscle stiffness is one of the most common and most dismissed complaints in Indian adults — particularly among those who spend long hours at a desk, commute extensively, or have moved into a less active phase of life. It is often normalised as "age-related" or attributed to stress, when the actual cause is a specific, addressable pattern of muscle imbalance, disuse, or overload.

When muscles are held in shortened positions for extended periods — as happens during prolonged sitting — they adapt to that shortened state. Over time, this reduces range of motion, increases resting muscle tension, and creates a persistent feeling of tightness that no amount of casual stretching fully resolves. The fix is not simply "stretch more" — it is understanding which muscles are affected, why, and what specific programme will restore proper function.

Dr. Arti Sharma assesses both the muscular and movement patterns behind your stiffness — and builds a programme that addresses the source, not just the sensation.
