Muscle balance:

The relationship between the tone or strength and length of the muscles around a joint is known as muscle balance. Muscles can be divided into two types:

MOBILISERS  AND STABILISERS

Mobilisers: These muscles are found close to the body`s surface and tend to cross two joints. They are typically made up of fast twitch fibres that produce power but lack endurance. With time they tend to tighten and shorten. The mobilisers assist rapid or ballistic movement and produce high force.
