Spasticity is a condition where muscles feel stiff or tight and may move involuntarily. It is common after spinal cord or brain injuries and can impact comfort, posture, and mobility.

Management often includes stretching, strengthening, positioning strategies, and sometimes medical interventions. The goal is not only to reduce stiffness but also to improve functional movement and comfort.

A personalized approach guided by a professional can help individuals manage spasticity more effectively in daily life.
