Ligamentous laxity, or ligament laxity, is a term given to describe loose ligaments .. Ligamentous laxity is a cause of chronic body pain characterized by loose ligaments. When this condition affects joints in the entire body, it is called generalized joint hypermobility, which occurs in about five percent of the population, and may be genetic.
Flexibility is a derivative of strength. Muscle tightness is secondary to muscle weakness. Wherever you see a limitation in motion is an indicator that one or more of the muscles that cross that axis cannot contract efficiently. When a muscle, or group of muscles, cannot contract efficiently it means that they cannot effectively shorten. When a muscle or group of muscles cannot effectively shorten, then the muscles on the opposite side of the axis cannot fully lengthen. This inefficiency in muscle contraction is expressed as muscle tightness.
