Imagine your skeleton like a suspension bridge, say Penang bridge structure, and your muscles and soft tissue the suspension ropes. Everything is in harmony as long as the suspension ropes are in perfect tension with each other. If one or more of these ropes (your muscles and soft tissue) were to be tightened, then the structure (your skeleton) would be affected. This results in uneven wear and tear, aches, pains, and even non-muscular symptom-related health conditions elsewhere in the body, not only in the location of heightened tension.
