By Elefteria Mantzorou Muscle adhesions, or trigger points, manifest as areas of tightness and restriction within muscle tissue and the encompassing fascia. They can result in discomfort, pain, limited range of motion, and altered muscle function. Hot stone massage is an awesome way to get rid of these adhesions. Learn more in the video! Overuse or repetitive movements, injuries, poor posture, muscle imbalances, and the often-overlooked contributors, stress and tension, can all play a role in the formation of these adhesions. Now that we've identified the culprits, let's explore what happens on a physiological level when a muscle adhesion takes hold. Muscle fiber misalignment is a key aspect in the formation of muscle knots or adhesions, contributing to a cascade of effects that impact muscle function and overall well-being. Under normal circumstances, muscle fibers are intricately organized in parallel bundles, resembling the neatly arranged threads of a tapestry. This organized structure allows muscles to contract and lengthen smoothly, facilitating fluid movement and optimal function. However, when an adhesion forms, this harmonious alignment is disrupted. Picture it as threads of the tapestry becoming entangled or going awry. Muscle fiber misalignment occurs as a result of irregular contractions, overuse, or trauma, causing certain fibers to contract more forcefully than others. This disruption in the normal arrangement can lead to a range of issues.
