@theknotking: Muscle knots, often called myofascial trigger points, are sensitive areas within muscle tissue that may cause localized discomfort or pain that spreads to surrounding areas. They can develop alongside muscle overuse, repetitive movements, prolonged postures, and increased physical stress. When a muscle repeatedly handles more demand than it can comfortably tolerate, sensitivity and protective muscle tension may increase. This can make everyday movements feel stiff or uncomfortable, especially in areas like the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Manual therapy, stretching, and manipulation can help reduce discomfort and improve movement by influencing pain sensitivity and muscle tone. However, lasting improvement may also require addressing contributing factors such as movement habits (functional patients), recovery, and strength. #massage #painrelief #SelfCare #fyp #tiktok
