Megfeszülése

Megfeszülése is a Hungarian noun formed from megfeszülni, meaning the process of becoming tense or tightening. It can refer to the tightening of muscles or other soft tissues, such as tendons or fascia, as well as to a general state of tension in a body part or in a psychological sense.

In anatomy and medicine, megfeszülése often denotes muscle tension or increased muscle tone (tonus). It may occur as a voluntary action during purposeful movement or as an involuntary state, such as a muscle spasm or sustained stiffness. The term can describe both transient tightness after exertion and more persistent tightness that restricts movement.

Causes are diverse and include physical activity, psychological stress, anxiety, cold or damp conditions, dehydration, fatigue, and injury. It can also be associated with neurological or musculoskeletal disorders that affect muscle tone. In everyday language, megfeszülése is commonly used to express that a muscle or part of the body is tense or stiff.

Management of megfeszülése generally involves relaxation techniques, gentle stretching, and warming measures. Adequate hydration, rest, and, if appropriate, gradual conditioning or physical therapy may help reduce chronic or recurrent tension. Persistent or severe tightness warrant medical evaluation to identify underlying causes and appropriate treatment.
