Just like the shoulder “train track” example, the illiotibial band (IT band) can get so tight it can pull on the knee cap causing friction when can then lead to patella-femoral syndrome knee pain (also known as Runners Knee).

Usually posture related which leads to tight pectoralis muscles. Tight pec muscles can worsen the symptoms of neck and trap pain. Other symptoms include: tension headaches, migraines, jaw pain, or numbness, tingling, or bring sensations down the arm and sometimes into the hand.

If you experience low back pain, usually that indicates that the front of your hips are tight, which cause shortening and compression of the lower lumbar spine. Very common amongst people who sit for long periods of time or jobs that involve wearing a utility belt.

Correlated to the hips, tight glute muscles can contribute to low back pain and is common amongst those who sit or stand for long periods of time. Other symptoms may include: pseudo sciatica pain, not fully being able to contract the muscle, or numbness, tingling, or burning down the leg.
