✨ ️What actually is a muscle knot? ✨️
Ever had that one spot in your neck, shoulders or back that feels tight, tender or like there’s a little hard lump hiding in the muscle?
You might be experiencing a muscle knot — often called a trigger point. It is inflammation and contractions in your muscle fibres.
Muscle knots can develop when muscles are overworked, held in the same position for too long, or repeatedly put under tension. Stress, poor posture and everyday activities can all contribute too.
✨️ So where does massage come in? ✨️
Massage works on the soft tissues and muscles, helping to:
🌿 Reduce muscle tension
🌿 Increase circulation to the area
🌿 Encourage the muscles to relax
🌿 Improve flexibility and movement
🌿 Ease that feeling of tightness and discomfort
Massage doesn't simply "break up" a knot, but by applying controlled pressure and working the surrounding tissues, it can help the muscle relax and make those tight areas feel much more comfortable.
