Muscle knots are tight and tense areas in muscles that often cause discomfort or pain. They happen when a small part of a muscle goes into spasm, creating tension. Common causes include repetitive movements, poor posture, or stress. These knots consist of hyperirritable spots in the muscle or surrounding connective tissue, called myofascial trigger points. When these points are activated, they can lead to pain not just locally but also in other areas, known as referred pain. To relieve muscle knots, stretching, massage, and applying heat or cold can be helpful. Staying active and maintaining good posture can also prevent them from forming. Additionally, seeking help from YB Therapy can offer specialised treatments that effectively address muscle knots and enhance your overall well-being.
