Thigh Complaints

Your thighs are the strongest muscles in your body. They carry you, lift you, drive you forward. Every step, every jump, every act of rising begins here — in this massive muscle group that holds more power than any other region of your musculoskeletal system. When this power falters — when the thighs ache, harden, cramp, swell, or lose their mobility — that is not wear and tear. That is your body sending a signal that reaches far beyond muscle physiology.

From a medical standpoint, thigh problems can take many forms: strains, hardening, circulatory disturbances, nerve pain, chronic tension. From a psychosomatic standpoint, a different question arises: What happens to a person who carries enormous inner strength — and does not use it? What occurs when energy builds up with nowhere to flow?
