Knot in back?!


Question: Whats is a 'knot'? what does it feel like?


Answers: Whats is a 'knot'? what does it feel like?

A knot feels on the outside like a bump or a hard area.

A knot is one of two things.

First of all, make sure it is not a cyst or something like that.

Usually when someone refers to a knot it is the myofascial tissue that bunches up and makes like a band in a spot. It restricts the muscles from moving correctly or sometimes freezes them in a tight area.

Massaging the area helps as well as light stretching. Ice or heat can help as well, also warm bath to relax. The muscles and tissues are tense, so they need to be relaxed. BTW - the massage to get it out will hurt a bit, but it is better than the knot remaining.

It's like a tangle in vains and it feels bad.
