Imbalanced muscle strength can happen whether you are an Olympic athlete or relatively inactive. For athletes, you might be exercising some muscles every week, but missing other specific muscles in your routines. Even if you are relatively inactive, factors such as your posture and the exact way that you sit, stand or walk all contribute to which specific muscles are used and developed. The result of uneven exercising or activity levels is imbalanced muscles that can cause joints problems.
Other possible causes of imbalanced muscle strength includes: traumas, surgery, nerve problems, circulatory issues, nutritional deficiencies, drug reactions and more. While these causes tend to be less common, it is important to rule out these mechanisms before beginning any treatment or exercise program designed to correct muscle imbalances.
