WHAT ARE MUSCLE KNOTS?
Muscle knots are hard, sensitive areas in our muscles where the muscle is in a shortened, contracted state even when the muscle is supposed to be at rest.
These muscle knots are commonly found in our neck, shoulders, upper back, and hips and are a common condition that affect millions of people everyday.
These tight areas of contracted muscle are also referred to as "trigger points" as oftentimes touching these areas can "trigger" pain in different location in your body.
Muscle knots can cause a painful, aching sensation in the muscle that can refer to nearby joints as well. When you touch it it feels tight and contracted despite your efforts to relax that area.
Muscle knots can also feel swollen and inflamed and can contribute to other associated problems including headaches, stress, anxiety, and difficulty sleeping.
Muscle knots are a common condition that I see in patients in my physical therapy clinic all the time. Fortunately there's a lot that you can do about them to treat them safely and effectively right at home!
Today I wanted to share some of my favorite tips, tricks, and exercises to help you get rid of muscle knots in your neck, shoulders, and upper back. I've also included video demonstration of each of these methods to ensure you do them correctly and maximize your outcomes.
HOW TO TREAT MUSCLE KNOTS
Keep in mind that treating your muscle knots can take some time. You didn't develop them overnight; chances are they're not going to go away overnight, also.
To treat your muscle knots you'll need to break up the knotted tissue and calm down the inflamed nerves.
Below you'll find a list of the most effective methods to alleviate your muscle knots at home.
1. Heat: applying heat to an area causes capillaries to dilate, thereby promoting more blood flow into that area. Increasing blood flow to a muscle can be an effective means of getting knots to release.
2. Stretching: muscle knots are areas of the muscle that fail to fully relax/elongate. Stretching the muscles in which these knots lie is an effective way to stretch out the knot,
3. Muscle Activation: by working the muscle in which your knot lies you can increase blood flow into that spot and promote relaxation. Contracting these muscles is also a good way to fatigue this area and get the muscle knot to release.
4. Postural Correction: poor posture is one of the primary contributing factors predisposing one to muscle knots. Taking actions to correct poor posture and promote improved alignment can significantly improve muscle tension and pain.
5. Postural Strengthening and Muscle Activation: Stretching the tight structures through the front of the chest and shoulders while strengthening the weak muscles of your upper back in between your shoulder blades is key in improving posture and decreasing propensity for muscle knots.
NO-EQUIPMENT BACK WORKOUT: • At Home Back Workout -...
6. Massage: massaging muscle tissue is a great way to decrease tension and "break up" those chronic muscle contractions. We decrease tension and promote blood flow into an area when we massage it, so massage is great at alleviating muscle knots and associated pain.
7. Trigger Point Release: Trigger point release is applying a deep pressure directly on a muscle knot and maintaining that pressure 15-60 seconds. The theory here is that we actually compress capillaries and "starve" the knot of blood and oxygen. After the muscle fibers "release" we then release our pressure and blood/oxygen comes rushing back into the spot, thereby maintaining the relaxed state.

Why don’t you ask your patients to agree to a video of themselves carrying out their exercises, especially whilst giving instructions and offering guidance. If not, then you have the option of asking a family member to assist you. I assure you that any current or potential new clients will appreciate the personal touch when you mention that they’re actual patients, and even better if you are able to inform them of their progress. Your involvement is sure to promote a sense of professionalism. Sorry for being so presumptuous, but I’m sure you will benefit. Peace.
Amazing, you video is legit. When I went to PT for the same symptoms, we did most of these. Thank you. The only question I have is how many/how long?

Thank you for the superb videos!! I am helping my husband who is incarcerated and he does not have any equipment at his disposal. Having never been in jail, he has run into some discomforts of which he couldn't have known to prepare for. Reading books to pass the time, his posture must be an absolute wreck, I'd imagine. The "can do anywhere" exercises are the perfect solution for him to be able to help relieve the constant (worsening) knots he's been struggling with. Recently, he has been getting frequent tension headaches, but with my part as messenger and your videos he won't have to suffer any longer. Thank you again!!

Lol what kind of shitty PT's did you go to because myogelosis are very common and Ive learned about them since year one in my study and it's mentioned in different years and subjects
I can tell you how grateful i am for this! Thank you so very much! I wake up with a horrible pain in my shoulder , it hurt me even when i take too much deep breath ! I search on youtube, i looked over 6 or 7 videos and find yours, this one and an other! It was hard doing the exercices bc of the pain, but little by little it was making my pain go away and now i can take deep breath ! Especially the shoulder retraction and the double chin lol! So im sending you many many thanks all the way from switzerland 🙏👍

Thank you so much, I’ve been struggling with my neck for weeks due to, I think lock down anxiety, home training and spending more time on my phone. Physiotherapist are like gold dust here and restrictions in place make appointments even harder. I was thinking I had something life changing and was going to end up having to give up my training. Everything you have discussed fits in to place and I can identify with - I feel less tension in my Traps and neck already. I can’t thank you enough. 😘

Hello Michele......
Amazing! I just tried these techniques while watching your video. Feeling soooo good. I suffer muscle knots the past 5 months due to lifting heavy pots in my garden. I checked from many different sources for a remedy. No one ever tell me the right way to fix it. I did a few movements practice similar to this video I found out on my own and with the new instructions I learned from here I believe I am on a good path to recovery. I wish to go back to my daily planking and pushing up like before without PAIN. I am so lucky finding your video today, with all my gratitude. Thank you so much!

I had a physical therapist who specialized in myofascial release who used to fix all my pains. No stretching no heat just a little light pressure here and there and bam all better!!! He retired and I will never be the same.
I had severe muscle spasms in my neck and upper back from cycling. This video gave me immediate relief. Thank you!
