💭 What actually is a muscle knot?
Your muscles are made up of thousands of tiny muscle fibres that work together to help you move.
When an area of muscle is placed under repeated stress or tension, some fibres can remain contracted and become tight and sensitive. This can create a small, tender area that we commonly refer to as a “muscle knot.”
You might notice:
• Tightness or stiffness
• A tender spot when touched
• Aching or discomfort
• Reduced movement
• Pain that can sometimes spread into nearby areas
Massage therapy can help reduce muscle tension, improve mobility and leave your muscles feeling more relaxed. 🤍
