Individuals differ in their reactions to massage depending on what they wish to achieve. For example, long term tension may require deeper and firmer movements, which may cause some aching as the muscles realign into their natural state. Knots are areas where muscle fibres become bunched and stick together. Sometimes you will hear a pop as air which has become trapped in the fibres is released. Massage is a bit like combing hair, the muscle fibres are separated into their original and natural positions so that the tone and movement and strength is improved. Another treatment may be very gentle as the muscle is coaxed back into its natural state.
Muscles tense in response to emotional and physical trauma and stress. To prevent damage they tighten and pull the body into a defensive position. Often the event has passed but the muscles are not aware of this and remain in their protective stance until the body recognises that it is safe to relax. Sometimes a much quicker result can be achieved by activating the muscle memory and resolving the situation both mentally and physically. It is much the same as if no-one bothers to tell you the crisis has passed and you carry on, constantly on red alert,causing further fatigue and weakness.
Muscle tension acts like a tournequet on blood vessels and nerves, pulls bones out of alignment and starves organs of nutrients and causes building up of toxins. It is hardly surprising that a massage has such a beneficial effect when a relaxing effect brings relief to all these symptoms.
