Conor Harris on Instagram: "HOW TO FINALLY FIX THAT MUSCLE KNOT IN YOUR BACK

When we have sensations of “muscle knots” in this area, it’s usually because you have over time built up a restriction of the ability to expand your posterior ribcage with each breath you take.

Naturally we should get expansion of a large area in our back ribcage called our Posterior Mediastinum.

As we become more sedentary, lose variability of movement, build up injuries, etc, this space can become progressively more closed off.

When that happens, tissues back there can become a bit “stuck” and unable to elongate/move as easily as they once did.

This sensation can feel like a “muscle knot”, but muscle knots don’t really exist as you think they may. They’re just often times restricted tissue in some capacity.

Megan Dahlman on Instagram: "😫 Shoulder blade knots and painful kinks in the neck? It’s so tempting to want to dig in to massage it out and stretch it out. But did you know that this could make it worse and take longer to release? A LOT of those knots are from tense, cramping muscles. And your neck muscles in particular are fairly sensitive and will cramp even harder if they feel threatened. So you’re very best bet is to take a far gentler approach. 1️⃣ Start with deep breathing down in your diaphragm. This can get control over the “fight or flight” response that causes you to “neck breathe”. 2️⃣ Do gentle, easy stretching at about 50-60% tension. Don’t force it. If you massage or roll, it should feel gentle, too. 3️⃣ Shoulder blade circles can activate the opposing muscles, like Flight Response, Neck Muscles, Knot Out, Shoulder Knots, Stiff Neck, Deep Breathing, Muscle Tension, Stretching, Muscles
