Describe reciprocal inhibition and how can you apply this to treatment?
When contracting a muscle, the CNS will send signals to relax the antagonist to allow contraction/ movement
Muscle spindles - when a muscle is stretched, the CNS sends signals to contract it and relax the antagonist
Golgi tendon organs/reflex - sense overstretch of a tendon resulting in relaxation of muscle and contraction of antagonist (protective mechanism)
