The rest of the body, however, had to work around these difficulties. Certain alternate muscular cooperations were set up that served to keep overall muscular functions going, and kept the body walking under impaired conditions. A certain network of “small dams” were set up by the symptoms. These held back full circulation to the specific tissues.

Some of the soreness was the result of the expansion of tissue, the period between a new expansion and the resulting fresh nourishment sent to cellular structures. Finally this evening muscular expansion had gone as far as it could without a completely fresh influx, and the final breaking-down of the small dams. The sudden circulation flowed through the tissues that were unaccustomed to it, and further expanded them.

This will allow the body to dismiss some of the alternate muscular cooperation set up, that served to support the body under poor conditions. The body could not dismiss these until the newly activated muscles began to come into their own, where they could be counted upon to maintain balance in a normal manner.

Certain less-than-perfect muscular habits had been set up, therefore, to maintain balance. These can now begin to fade as the newly activated muscles begin to take over.
