Davis’s Law

Davis’s Law states that soft tissues like ligaments, tendons, and muscles will adapt and change shape based on the forces placed upon them. When a tissue is stretched or put under tension over time, it tends to lengthen and become more flexible. Conversely, if a tissue is immobilized or not used, it can shorten and become stiffer. Essentially, the body’s tissues respond and remodel themselves to accommodate the normal stresses and strains they experience, helping maintain proper function and flexibility.
