🧠 Tardive Dyskinesia: When Involuntary Movement Creates Muscular Tension

Tardive dyskinesia is a neurological movement disorder that may develop after prolonged use of certain medications—particularly medicines that affect dopamine activity. It can cause repetitive, involuntary movements involving the face, mouth, tongue, neck, trunk, arms, or legs.

Although these movements originate in the nervous system, the muscles must repeatedly carry them out. Over time, some muscles may become overworked, shortened, sore, or fatigued, while opposing muscles may not function as efficiently. This can contribute to:

• Jaw, facial, and neck tension
• Headaches or facial discomfort
• Shoulder and upper-back tightness
• Muscle fatigue, cramping, or soreness
• Postural changes and restricted movement
• Fascial tension caused by repeated motion

Myofascial release does not cure tardive dyskinesia or stop its neurological cause. However, gentle treatment may help release secondary fascial restrictions, calm overworked muscles, improve comfort, and encourage more balanced movement patterns throughout the body.

Treatment should be adapted to the individual and coordinated with the physician or neurologist managing the condition. Anyone experiencing new involuntary movements should promptly contact the prescribing healthcare provider and should never discontinue medication without medical guidance.

If tardive dyskinesia has left your muscles feeling tense, tired, or uncomfortable, supportive myofascial release may help your body move and rest more comfortably.

Another Client Testimonial

“After the birth of my second child, I began experiencing intermittent pelvic and abdominal pain. The discomfort would come and go without warning, and I struggled to find someone who truly understood what I was going through.

While searching the National Vulvodynia Association website, NVA.org, I entered my ZIP code and found Kevin at Bruck Therapy Myofascial Release. From my first appointment, Kevin was incredible to work with. He listened carefully, made me feel completely understood, and explained everything in a way that helped me feel comfortable and reassured.

Kevin’s knowledge of the pelvic floor, fascia, and postpartum scar tissue was remarkable. His compassionate approach made a very personal and difficult problem much easier to discuss. With treatment, I began noticing meaningful improvements in both the frequency and intensity of my discomfort.

I am so thankful that the NVA website led me to Kevin. I highly recommend him to any woman experiencing pelvic or abdominal pain who wants to be treated with knowledge, patience, compassion, and respect.”

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE: MORE THAN JUST TREATING SORE MUSCLES

After nearly three decades of providing Myofascial Release treatments, one thing has become very clear: fascia can influence virtually every region of the body.

Fascia is the three-dimensional connective-tissue network that surrounds and interconnects muscles, bones, joints, nerves, blood vessels and organs. When this tissue becomes restricted because of injury, surgery, repetitive activity, prolonged posture, inflammation or physical stress, the resulting tension may contribute to pain and dysfunction—sometimes surprisingly far from where the original restriction developed.

At Bruck Therapy Myofascial Release, I work with an extraordinarily broad range of musculoskeletal and soft-tissue problems, including:

• Neck, shoulder and upper-back pain
• Low-back pain, hip pain and sciatica
• Headaches, migraines and TMJ-related tension
• Rotator cuff and shoulder dysfunction
• Thoracic outlet and other nerve-compression symptoms
• Tennis elbow and repetitive-use injuries
• Knee pain and restrictions following joint replacement
• Plantar fasciitis, shin splints and other foot and lower-leg problems
• Muscle tightness, limited flexibility and decreased range of motion
• Postural imbalances and chronic movement restrictions

But the potential applications of Myofascial Release extend well beyond ordinary muscle and joint pain.

I also frequently address scar-tissue and post-surgical restrictions following C-sections, hysterectomies, abdominal procedures, orthopedic surgeries, breast surgeries and other procedures. Surgical scars aren’t merely something we see on the skin—the underlying tissues can develop restrictions that affect mobility and comfort long after an incision has healed.

Another important area of my practice is pelvic and pelvic-floor dysfunction, where fascial and muscular restrictions may be associated with pelvic pain, painful intimacy, vulvar discomfort, pudendal nerve irritation, bladder urgency and frequency, pelvic-floor tension, and restrictions following childbirth, episiotomy or pelvic surgery.

Myofascial Release may also be used as a supportive approach for people dealing with conditions such as fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, arthritis-related muscular restriction and certain neurological or chronic-pain conditions. Treatment is individualized according to the person’s needs and underlying medical circumstances.

How can one therapy address so many different areas?

Because Myofascial Release isn’t simply chasing symptoms.

The goal is to identify patterns of restricted fascia and abnormal tension throughout the body, then use sustained, appropriately applied techniques to improve tissue mobility and reduce mechanical stress on surrounding structures.

Sometimes where you hurt isn’t where the problem began.

That is why a comprehensive Myofascial Release approach may examine areas above, below and seemingly unrelated to the location of your symptoms.

If you’ve been living with persistent pain, tightness, scar-tissue restriction or limited mobility—and conventional approaches haven’t completely resolved the problem—it may be worth investigating whether fascia is part of the picture.

🪽 WINGED SCAPULAS: WHEN YOUR SHOULDER BLADES DON’T STAY WHERE THEY SHOULD

Have you ever noticed that one or both shoulder blades seem to stick out from your back—almost like a pair of wings?

This is commonly called scapular winging or a winged scapula. While it may look like a problem with the shoulder blade itself, the underlying issue can involve the muscles, fascia, nerves, posture, or movement patterns that normally keep the scapula stable against the rib cage.

🔹 WHAT CAUSES A WINGED SCAPULA?

Several muscles work together to stabilize and control the shoulder blade, particularly the serratus anterior, trapezius, rhomboids, levator scapulae, and pectoral muscles.

Scapular winging or abnormal scapular movement may develop from:

• Weakness or dysfunction of the serratus anterior
• Injury to the long thoracic nerve
• Trapezius weakness or spinal accessory nerve injury
• Muscle imbalance around the shoulder and upper back
• Chronically tight pectoral muscles pulling the shoulders forward
• Poor posture and prolonged computer or desk work
• Previous shoulder, neck, or upper-back injuries
• Fascial restrictions that interfere with normal scapular movement

When these structures stop working together properly, the shoulder blade may tilt, rotate, or lift away from the rib cage instead of gliding smoothly across it.

🔹 WHAT PROBLEMS CAN IT CAUSE?

Abnormal scapular mechanics can contribute to much more than an unusual-looking shoulder blade. Clients may experience:

• Pain between or underneath the shoulder blades
• Neck and upper-back pain
• Shoulder pain or impingement-type symptoms
• Rotator cuff irritation
• Tightness across the chest
• Burning or aching around the scapula
• Difficulty reaching overhead
• Reduced shoulder strength or endurance
• Headaches associated with neck and shoulder tension
• Pain that travels into the arm

Over time, the body may compensate for the unstable shoulder blade by tightening other muscles. That compensation can create an ongoing cycle of tightness → altered movement → irritation → more guarding and tightness.

🙌 HOW CAN MYOFASCIAL RELEASE HELP?

At Bruck Therapy Myofascial Release, I don’t simply work where it hurts. I evaluate the muscular and fascial relationships surrounding the shoulder blade, neck, chest, rib cage, and upper back.

Gentle, sustained myofascial release techniques may help:

✓ Release shortened pectoral and anterior shoulder tissues
✓ Reduce restrictions around the scapula and rib cage
✓ Improve mobility of the shoulder blade
✓ Decrease compensatory tension in the trapezius, rhomboids and levator scapulae
✓ Improve posture and shoulder mechanics
✓ Reduce painful muscular guarding
✓ Allow weakened stabilizing muscles to function more effectively

As restrictions decrease and normal mechanics improve, some cases of functional scapular winging or abnormal scapular positioning may improve substantially. When winging results from an actual nerve injury or significant muscle paralysis, however, myofascial release cannot simply “reverse” the nerve damage. In those situations, MFR can still be valuable for addressing secondary restrictions and compensatory pain alongside appropriate medical evaluation and rehabilitation.

💬 A CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

“I had pain underneath my shoulder blade for years and always felt like one shoulder was sitting differently than the other. Kevin showed me how tight everything had become across my chest, neck and upper back. After several treatments, my shoulder blade wasn’t sticking out nearly as much, my posture looked better, and most importantly, that constant aching and burning was finally settling down.” Molly F. from Carlisle.

If your shoulder blades appear uneven, protrude away from your rib cage, or you continually battle shoulder, neck or upper-back pain, there may be more happening than simply having “tight muscles.”

Let’s find the restrictions that may be contributing to the problem.

🦵 THE TIBIALIS ANTERIOR: A SMALLER MUSCLE THAT CAN CAUSE BIG PROBLEMS

Have you ever experienced aching or tightness along the front of your shin, discomfort around the ankle, or felt like your foot just wasn’t lifting normally when you walked?

The tibialis anterior muscle may be involved.

📍 Where is the tibialis anterior?

The tibialis anterior is a long muscle located along the front and outside portion of the shinbone (tibia). Its tendon crosses the front of the ankle and attaches along the inside of the foot.

Despite being relatively small compared with some of the major leg muscles, it has an important job.

👣 WHAT DOES IT DO?

The tibialis anterior is primarily responsible for dorsiflexion—lifting your foot and toes upward toward your shin. It also assists with turning the sole of the foot inward and helps control the foot as it lowers to the ground during walking.

Every time you take a step, this muscle helps prevent your toes from dragging and helps control how your heel and foot contact the ground.

⚠️ WHAT CAN GO WRONG?

The tibialis anterior can become tight, overworked, irritated, or develop fascial restrictions from:

• Excessive walking or running
• Walking or running uphill
• Sudden increases in exercise
• Repetitive ankle movement
• Poor walking or running mechanics
• Tight calf muscles
• Improper footwear
• Compensation following a foot, ankle, knee, or hip injury

When this muscle becomes chronically tight or overloaded, you may notice front-of-shin pain, ankle discomfort, muscle fatigue, tenderness, cramping, or difficulty comfortably lifting the foot. Tibialis anterior dysfunction can also sometimes contribute to symptoms associated with shin splints.

One important point: where you feel the pain isn’t always where the problem begins.

Restrictions in the calves, hamstrings, quadriceps, hips, or surrounding fascia can alter the mechanics of the lower leg and force the tibialis anterior to work harder than it should.

🙌 HOW CAN MYOFASCIAL RELEASE HELP?

Myofascial release focuses on identifying and treating restrictions within the muscle and surrounding fascial system.

By applying sustained, appropriately directed pressure and stretch, treatment may help:

✅ Reduce excessive muscular and fascial tension
✅ Improve tissue mobility
✅ Restore more normal movement around the ankle
✅ Decrease stress placed on the tibialis anterior
✅ Address restrictions elsewhere in the leg that may be contributing to the problem
✅ Improve overall lower-extremity mechanics

Rather than simply chasing the painful spot, I evaluate how the foot, ankle, lower leg, knee, hip, and surrounding fascial structures are working together.

If persistent shin or ankle discomfort is limiting your walking, exercise, work, or everyday activities, myofascial restrictions may be part of the problem.

💪 BEFORE YOU PUSH YOUR BODY… PREPARE IT! 💪

Whether you’re heading to the gym, working in the yard, playing a round of golf, moving furniture, hiking, or tackling a physically demanding project, taking a few minutes to properly warm up and stretch can make a significant difference in how your body responds.

Why is stretching important?

Strenuous activity places increased demands on your muscles, tendons, joints, and surrounding fascia. Going from relatively little movement directly into heavy or repetitive activity can leave those tissues unprepared for the sudden increase in load.

A brief dynamic warm-up followed by gentle, activity-specific stretching can help:

🔹 Increase circulation to the working muscles
🔹 Improve mobility and range of motion
🔹 Prepare muscles and connective tissue for movement
🔹 Reduce unnecessary muscle guarding and stiffness
🔹 Improve coordination and movement efficiency
🔹 Help your body tolerate the demands of the activity

Stretching should never be painful or aggressive. Before strenuous activity, think about gradually warming up and moving through comfortable ranges of motion rather than forcing a deep stretch into cold muscles.

But what if you overdo it anyway?

We’ve all been there. You finish the yard work, workout, home improvement project, or weekend activity feeling fine—then several hours later or the next morning your body lets you know that you did too much!

Overexertion can leave muscles tight and irritated and may contribute to protective guarding and restrictions within the surrounding fascial system. You may notice:

⚠️ Muscle soreness and stiffness
⚠️ Reduced flexibility
⚠️ Tightness across the back, hips, shoulders, or legs
⚠️ Pain when bending, reaching, or walking
⚠️ That familiar feeling of being “knotted up”

That’s where Myofascial Release may be helpful.

Rather than simply working on the spot that hurts, I evaluate the surrounding muscles and fascial patterns that may be contributing to the restriction. Gentle, sustained myofascial techniques can help decrease soft-tissue tension, improve mobility, and restore more comfortable movement as your body recovers.

👉 One important exception: sudden severe pain, major swelling or bruising, inability to bear weight, significant weakness, or a suspected muscle/tendon tear should be medically evaluated before receiving bodywork.

So before your next strenuous activity, give your body a chance to prepare. And if you still manage to overdo it, you don’t necessarily have to spend the next week walking around stiff and uncomfortable.

Your body works hard for you. Take care of it before—and after—you ask it to work even harder.

🦴 HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY: THE JOINT MAY BE NEW—BUT THE MUSCLES & FASCIA STILL NEED TO HEAL

Hip replacement surgery can be life-changing for someone suffering from severe arthritis, joint degeneration, or chronic hip pain. But replacing the damaged joint is only part of the recovery process.

During hip replacement surgery, the surgeon must work through layers of skin, fascia, muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues to reach the hip joint. Depending on the surgical approach, tissues surrounding the hip may be separated, retracted, stretched, or otherwise disturbed. After surgery, pain and protective guarding can also cause muscles around the hip to tighten and weaken.

Muscles that may be affected include the gluteals, hip flexors, tensor fasciae latae, deep hip rotators, quadriceps, and adductors. As the body compensates, tension may extend into the low back, pelvis, thigh, and even the opposite hip.

⚠️ THE PROBLEM OF POST-SURGICAL SCAR TISSUE

Scar formation is a normal and necessary part of healing. However, when scar tissue and fascial adhesions become excessive or restrictive, tissues may no longer glide as freely as they did before surgery.

This restriction can contribute to:

• Persistent tightness or pulling around the surgical area
• Reduced hip flexibility and range of motion
• Muscle guarding and weakness
• Altered walking mechanics
• Low-back, buttock, groin, or thigh discomfort
• A sensation that the hip is still “tight” even after rehabilitation
• Compensation elsewhere in the body

The incision you see on the surface is only part of the story. Deeper layers of tissue also undergo healing and remodeling.

🙌 WHERE MYOFASCIAL RELEASE CAN HELP

Once the surgeon has cleared the individual for appropriate soft-tissue work, gentle myofascial release can be an excellent complement to physical therapy and post-operative rehabilitation.

Rather than forcing the new joint, treatment focuses on the muscles, fascia, and scar restrictions surrounding it. Carefully applied myofascial techniques may help improve tissue mobility, decrease protective muscular tension, improve flexibility, and restore more natural movement patterns.

Treatment may also address compensatory restrictions in the pelvis, low back, opposite hip, thigh, and lower extremity that developed before or after surgery.

The goal isn’t simply to have a successful hip replacement. The goal is to help the entire body adapt to that new hip and move as comfortably and efficiently as possible.

💬 CLIENT EXPERIENCE

“My hip replacement took away the terrible joint pain, but months later I still felt stiff and restricted when I walked. Kevin worked very gently around my hip, thigh, pelvis and scar tissue. After several treatments, I noticed that my stride felt more natural and I wasn’t constantly fighting that tight pulling sensation. I finally felt like my new hip was becoming part of me instead of something I had to protect.” Marsha T. from New Cumberland, PA

If you’ve had a hip replacement but still struggle with tightness, restricted movement, scar tissue, or muscular compensation, myofascial release may be an important piece of your recovery.

💥 STRAIGHTEN UP… AND FEEL THE DIFFERENCE 💥

If you’re dealing with poor posture, tightness in your back, or that constant “pulling” sensation along your spine… your paraspinal muscles are likely part of the problem.

These muscles run up and down your spine, working nonstop to hold you upright. But when they become tight or restricted, they can:
❌ Pull your posture out of alignment
❌ Create chronic back and neck pain
❌ Limit your mobility and flexibility

✨ Here’s the key: stretching these muscles properly can be a game changer.

But not just any stretch…

👉 The most effective myofascial release stretch is one that engages the entire line of fascia from the upper back ALL the way down to the tailbone.

When you create that full-length, sustained stretch, you’re not just loosening muscles—you’re releasing the entire fascial chain that’s been holding your body in dysfunction.

💡 This is exactly where Myofascial Release (MFR) stands apart.
At Bruck Therapy, MFR techniques:
✔️ Gently and safely lengthen the paraspinal muscles
✔️ Release deep fascial restrictions
✔️ Restore natural alignment and posture
✔️ Help your body move the way it was designed to

🗣️ Client Experience:
"I didn’t realize how much tension I was carrying in my back until it was gone. After my session, I felt taller, lighter, and completely relaxed. The stretch down to my tailbone was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced—it changed everything."

Your posture isn’t just about how you look—it directly impacts how you feel every single day.

🦵 RESTLESS LEGS: WHEN YOUR LEGS JUST WON’T SETTLE DOWN

Have you ever climbed into bed exhausted—only to find that your legs have other plans?

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a neurologic condition that creates an irresistible urge to move the legs, usually becoming worse when sitting or lying still and often intensifying in the evening or at night.

People describe the sensation in many different ways:

• Crawling, creeping, tingling, or “electric” feelings
• Aching or pulling deep within the legs
• An overwhelming need to stretch or move
• Symptoms that temporarily improve with walking or movement
• Difficulty falling or staying asleep
• Leg movements or kicking during sleep
• Daytime fatigue caused by disrupted sleep

WHAT CAUSES RESTLESS LEGS?

Sometimes there is no single identifiable cause. RLS is associated with changes in the brain’s dopamine and iron systems, and genetics can play an important role. Symptoms may also occur or worsen with:

• Iron deficiency
• Pregnancy
• Kidney disease
• Peripheral neuropathy
• Diabetes
• Certain medications
• Caffeine, alcohol, and ni****ne
• Sleep deprivation
• Prolonged periods of inactivity

Because several medical conditions can produce RLS-like symptoms, persistent or worsening restless legs should be discussed with your healthcare provider. Checking iron and ferritin levels is often part of the evaluation.

WHERE CAN MYOFASCIAL RELEASE FIT IN?

Myofascial release does not treat the underlying neurologic cause of RLS, but for some people it may be a useful complementary approach when muscular and fascial tension is adding to their discomfort.

Restrictions through the low back, pelvis, hips, thighs, calves, and feet can create additional sensations of tightness, pulling, or aching. Gentle myofascial release works to decrease these restrictions, relax chronically tense muscles, improve comfortable movement, and promote an overall relaxation response.

For some clients, that means their legs simply feel quieter and more comfortable, particularly when muscular tension is contributing to their nighttime symptoms.

One client described her experience this way:

> “For years, nighttime was when my legs seemed to come alive. I constantly had to move or stretch them. After Kevin began working through the tightness in my hips, thighs and calves, my legs felt noticeably calmer. I’m finally able to lie in bed without feeling like I constantly have to get up and walk around.” Melissa H. from York, PA.

If restless, tight, uncomfortable legs are interfering with your ability to relax, myofascial release may be worth considering as part of a broader treatment plan.

🔹 Low Back Compression: The Hidden Source of Pain, Stiffness & Nerve Symptoms 🔹

Many people think of low back pain as a “disc issue” or simply part of getting older.
But what I see every day in my practice tells a very different story…

👉 Much of the discomfort in the lower back is the result of compression within the lumbar spine—often driven by tight, restricted fascia.

🔍 What Does Lumbar Compression Feel Like?

When the structures of the low back are under constant pressure, it can lead to:

• Chronic low back pain and stiffness
• Sciatic symptoms (pain, tingling, or numbness down the leg)
• Disc bulges or herniations
• Reduced mobility and difficulty standing upright
• Muscle spasms that seem to “come out of nowhere”
• Hip tightness and pelvic imbalance

👉 Over time, this compression doesn’t just stay in the back…
It begins to affect how your entire body moves and functions.

🧠 What Causes This Compression?

The lumbar spine doesn’t compress on its own.

It is pulled into compression by tension in surrounding structures, including:

• Tight fascia in the lower back and abdomen
• Restricted hip flexors and pelvic tissues
• Scar tissue from surgeries or injuries
• Prolonged sitting and forward posture
• Chronic guarding patterns from old pain

♦️ Think of it like a constant downward pressure…
Your spine is being pulled together instead of supported and free.

🙌 How Myofascial Release Helps

This is where myofascial release (MFR) becomes incredibly effective.

Rather than forcing movement or masking symptoms, MFR works by:

✔️ Gently releasing fascial restrictions
✔️ Reducing abnormal tension pulling on the spine
✔️ Allowing the lumbar vertebrae to naturally decompress
✔️ Restoring fluid movement and alignment
✔️ Improving nerve function by relieving pressure

👉 The result is not just pain relief…
It’s a feeling of space, freedom, and ease in your body again.

“I didn’t realize how compressed my lower back felt until it finally released. After a few sessions, I could stand straighter, move easier, and the pain down my leg was gone. It felt like my spine could finally breathe again.”

🌿 A Different Approach to Healing

Your body is not meant to live in a constant state of compression.

When the pressure is gently released…
👉 Pain decreases
👉 Movement improves
👉 Healing begins
