A member asked:
When i stretch in bed, standing up, sitting down i always shake when i stretch. can u tell me why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stretch reflex: Specific to skeletal muscle. When you stretch skeletal muscle that has been at rest it can respond by partial contratction which you would interpret as "shaking" if you continue to stretch. Nothing to worry about.
