When you hear muscle knots, you might picture a rope tied in a knot ➰️ but that's not actually what's happening. Knots are tight, overworked muscle fibers that stay contracted when they should be relaxed.
They form from:
• Stress & tension
• Poor posture
• Repetitive movements
• Overuse or lack of movement
• Old injuries
When muscles stay tight for too long, blood flow decreases, oxygen drops, and waste builds up. That’s what creates those achy, tender spots.
😬 Knots can:
• Refer pain elsewhere... sometimes the pain isn’t even where the knot is
• Limit movement
• Cause stiffness, headaches, or nerve irritation
💆♂️ Massage helps by:
• Restoring blood flow
• Releasing tight fibers
• Reducing tension
• Calming the nervous system
🗣 Consistency matters!!! Regular massage helps prevent knots before they turn into pain.
Massage isn’t just about fixing pain. It’s about preventing it 🙌 so take care of your body before it starts asking louder.
My schedule is filling quickly, so be sure to get your next session on the books to stay ahead of the tension 💛
