Quadriceps Inhibition After Total Knee Replacement After a total knee replacement, many patients notice that it’s hard to lift the leg or fully contract the thigh muscles (quadriceps) — even when they’re trying as hard as they can. . This happens because of something called arthrogenic muscle inhibition — basically, the knee joint swelling and pain interfere with the signals from your brain to your quadriceps. The muscle isn’t weak from lack of strength training — it’s shut down by the nervous s

Discover how the teres major can reciprocally inhibit the rotator cuff muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor) through reflexive neuromuscular control. This illustrates a key principle in PRRT™ and manual therapy. Understand these relationships to better address shoulder pain and improve mobility.

“What you’re watching here is called reciprocal inhibition. To release the tightness in her quad and knee, I work with the body, not against it. By massaging and activating her hamstring while moving her knee through flexion and extension, the opposing quad relaxes and finally lets go. Stretch therapy isn’t just about pulling a muscle—it’s about understanding how the nervous system controls tension, pain, and release. When you learn how to unlock the body this way, healing goes deeper than just
