Have you ever wondered what causes knots in muscle? The dense knotty areas of muscle occur when the muscle fibers and fascia bind up and stick together, this can be due to a variety of things, including injuries dehydration, overuse, and over stretching. When this happens your muscles form adhesions, which restrict fresh oxygen-rich blood from coming into that area and trapping the metabolic wastes in the tissue. The metabolic wastes burn your tissues like an acid, causing pain and inflammation. Breaking up those adhesions by utilizing massage techniques allows your body to send oxygen-rich blood to the area to clean out the waste.
