Muscle knots, which are muscle fibers that stick to each other and become adhered, are common in most people but it’s not normal to have them and they can lead to further damage. If too much stress is placed on our muscles, tearing of the tissue can eventually leave scar tissue. If this issue is left untreated the muscle will continue to lose elasticity and eventually cause postural stress that will cause further difficulties in the body.
Knots in the muscles can be caused by the posture we find ourselves in every day with work, like sitting a lot or working on a computer for hours and daily chores, or if we injure ourselves or become dehydrated. Our muscles should be strong, pliable and challenged but this can be lost if we lose the mobility and flexibility in them.
We need to remember that our muscle fibers run in different directions in the body and a lot of our muscles are layered on top of each other and this is the reason why we can challenge our bodies the way we do with, sports, posture positions etc.
Massage can keep our muscles oxygenated, healthy and pliable relieving muscle pain and breaking up any adhesions.
So choose a lifestyle that will allow you take care of yourself - find time to relax and unwind.
