Self Treatment For Muscle Knots
Muscle knots are also referred to as trigger points, or myofascial trigger points. These knots are small bumps in the muscle, or fascial tissue that are often painful to the touch. Capable of causing both local pain and referred pain (pain experienced in other parts of the body other than the site of the painful stimulus). The trigger point cone can be a useful tool to help relieve pain from active muscle knots.
