Many of us will know the discomfort of them,\nbut what exactly is a knotted muscle and, perhaps more importantly, how do you\nprevent and treat them? We\u2019ll be answering these questions below.<\/p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is a \u2018knot\u2019?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>Despite being made of fibres, muscles aren\u2019t like string and\ncan\u2019t really get tied up in knots. What people generally call a \u2018knot\u2019 is\nactually the tearing of your muscles and tendons on a microscopic level. This\nis generally caused by working the muscle beyond its capabilities, putting more\nstrain on them than they can handle. While this is especially common in\nathletic sports, it can occur in something as simple and mundane as office\nwork. Repeatedly doing the same task &#8211; even if that task is just sitting in\nyour chair and typing &#8211; will put strain on your muscles, and doing it for too long\nmight cause overstraining and tears.<\/p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"http:\/\/www.channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/150519-muscle.jpg\" alt=\"Get Rid of Knots, Phuket Massage, Chann Spa, Spa in Phuket\" class=\"wp-image-221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/150519-muscle.jpg 800w, https:\/\/channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/150519-muscle-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/150519-muscle-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/150519-muscle-420x280.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br><p><strong>What causes muscle knots?<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>There are three conditions which cause people to seek out Phuket\nmassages to relieve them of tightness across the shoulders, neck and back.\nThese are dehydration, inactivity and injury. All three make your muscles\nparticularly fragile and inflexible, making them much more susceptible to the\nmicroscopic tearing which causes knotting.

The last one might seem a little of an\noddball, but water is an essential ingredient in respiration &#8211; the process\nwhereby your muscles extract energy from the food you eat. Without energy, the\nmuscles grow weak and more prone to damage.

If you always do the same exercise, your body will soon adapt to\nit and it\u2019ll stop being as effective.<\/li><li>Reduce\nstress.

A good massage is highly effective at relieving knots as it gently works the muscles, keeping them flexible and strong.
