I randomly came across this one: > **[Stretch reflex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretch_reflex)** > > The stretch reflex (myotatic reflex), or more accurately "muscle stretch reflex", is a muscle contraction in response to stretching a muscle. The function of the reflex is generally thought be maintaining the muscle at a constant length but the response is often coordinated across multiple muscles and even joints. The term deep tendon reflex is often wrongfully used by many health workers and students to refer to this reflex. "Tendons have little to do with the response, other than being respo As... I guess that might be one of the reasons it’s sometimes difficult to successfully stretch chronically shortened/tight muscle without learning how to deactivate that auto-guarding reflex ---

It’s the “plastic” vs “elastic” response of muscles to stretching. When we stretch muscles, we’re using the “elastic” aspect of them but when they return to their usual length its the “plastic” or learned response. It’s thought that the plastic response can be changed through stretching & even through the shortening/lengthening exercise, but it takes persistence & can take a while for this to happen. I know you’ve experience the delay in muscular changes as you’ve worked on your neck & shoulders, @vdm. ---

> [@Isaiah\_40\_31](#): > > It’s the “plastic” vs “elastic” response of muscles to stretching. When we stretch muscles, we’re using the “elastic” aspect of them but when they return to their usual length its the “plastic” or learned response. It’s thought that the plastic response can be changed through stretching & even through the shortening/lengthening exercise, but it takes persistence & can take a while for this to happen. I’d guess the “stretch reflex” might be the one that in some cases prevents some chronically tight muscles from being stretched out, i.e. prevents from effectively using the “elastic” capability of the muscle tissue. That’s just a pure observation of bodies under anesthesia and other type of heavy influence, or when someone lost their consciousness - there is not much resistance from the muscles, as opposed to the times when the person is fully conscious. I.e. like I wrote in one of the posts, [Facial palsy with ES? - #11 by vdm](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/facial-palsy-with-es/14441/11) > [@Facial palsy with ES?](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/facial-palsy-with-es/14441/11): > > Perhaps it’s something simple, like muscles constantly sending intense electrochemical signal to the brain demanding immediate action/reaction to keep the body in balance, eventually overloading the brain and putting the whole body into some sort of fight-or-flight state without any real need. Perhaps that could possibly explain various effects, like chronically spasmed muscles being unable to properly relax because they (incorrectly) keep receiving signal to “react” (contract) as if there was stretching stimulus present, when it’s not… I don’t really know 🙂 It just seems this “stretch reflex” is exactly about which I speculated without knowing its name, as per the article > **[The stretch reflex and the contributions of C David Marsden](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5341261/)** > > The stretch reflex or myotatic reflex refers to the contraction of a muscle in response to its passive stretching by increasing its contractility as long as the stretch is within physiological limits. For ages, it was thought that the stretch reflex... > If the brain wished to contract a muscle to a certain length, it commanded the small sense organs in the muscles to react as if they had been already stretched to the intended position. The result would be reflex contraction of the muscle in question, and this meant that the nervous system only needed to specify the end position of any movement. This was the first attempt to explain how the nervous system might achieve accurate control of movements. ---
