Muscle Knots

yadmit Posts: 4,670 Joined: 2003/10/05	2005/03/26, 12:37 PM Is there any treatment, aside from massage, to remove a muscle knot? I've had one just under my right shoulder blade for the last couple of years and sometimes it's a challenge and other times it isn't...

It's actually a muscle that is staying turned "on". -------------- Scales are for dead weight: We are not dead yet! Still trying to find out how to do the Hollywood Free Press.

Ibuprofen and heating pads is the only "home remedy" that works for me. That or a good ole back massage:big_smile: I hope you get to feeling better soon! ~Shannon~

I think I'll be making an appointment with my acupuncturist lady! t -------------- This donut has purple in the middle, purple is a fruit. - Homer (Simpson) Be here. Live. Love. Hope. Now. Faith.
