Hi. I get quite stubborn and painful knots in my back - usually near the shoulder blades - and have had this for a few years now. Massage only offers temporary relief - usually the knots are back within a couple of days. Cracking my back relieves the pain too but the pain returns the same day, and I'm also not sure if regularly cracking your back (twice a day or more) could damage or weaken it. So, I'm looking for any advice. If anyone knows what causes knots - or, more importantly, what gets rid of them (mid-long term), I'd really appreciate the advice.
I have pretty good posture, am active enough (but not a fitness fanatic) and usually the knots are worst when I wake up.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
