These knots, also known as âtrigger points,â occur when your muscle fibers cannot relax. Theyâre commonly found in the trapezius muscle, a large muscle that extends from the base of your skull down your back and out to your shoulder. You can try some techniques on your own to get rid of knots, or seek professional treatment.
Q: What is a muscle knot, and can massages get rid of them? It's not entirely clear what causes muscle knotsâbut your muscles don't literally get twisted and tied. Experts think that these muscle adhesions (also called myofascial trigger points) likely result from repeated tension and overuse in a specific area. Hot spots for tightness are the neck, shoulders, and back. Clenching your muscles out of stress or anxiety can create knots, or they can develop due to an injury, poor posture, or even long periods of inactivity. Massage is in fact one of the best ways to release the tension.
