Balanced Ligamentous Tension Adelaide

LBBS - Balanced Ligamentous Tension

Balanced Ligamentous Tension (BLT) is a concept used in Osteopathy that refers to the balanced tension or tone between ligaments and other connective tissues in the body. In BLT, when the body is in a state of balance, there is an equal tension or tone in all of the ligaments and connective tissues, which helps to maintain normal joint function and range of motion.

An imbalance in the tension or tone of the ligaments and connective tissues can lead to joint dysfunction, pain, and other musculoskeletal problems. For example, if one ligament is tighter than another, it can cause an uneven pull on the joint, which can lead to joint misalignment or instability.
​
Osteopaths use BLT to assess and treat musculoskeletal problems by identifying areas of imbalance in the ligaments and other connective tissues and applying manual techniques to restore balance and improve joint function. The goal of BLT is to restore the body's natural balance and help it function optimally, which can reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall wellbeing.
