Bands

Absent Muscle Tension

Expressions activating this band do not provide clear evidence of bodily tightness, clenching, stiffness, or related somatic tension. They are largely unrelated or too nonspecific to indicate muscle tension as an active experience.

Mild Muscle Tension

Expressions activating this band describe early or intermittent bodily tension, trembling, or difficulty relaxing, often framed as worry about pain or physical sensations during activity. The tension is present but not yet localized as a persistent muscular state.

Moderate Muscle Tension

Expressions activating this band describe recognizable muscular tightness, twitching, aches, or feeling wound up, with tension becoming more clearly embodied and emotionally salient. The experience includes trouble calming the body and awareness of pain-related tension.

High Muscle Tension

Expressions activating this band describe sustained and localized muscular tightening such as clenching the jaw, stiff or achy muscles, and tension concentrated in the neck or related areas. The bodily tension is concrete, recurrent, and physically uncomfortable.

Severe Muscle Tension

Expressions activating this band describe pronounced muscular tightness centered in major upper-body areas such as the neck and shoulders. The tension is experienced as an intense, unmistakable bodily state.
