Trigger Points Therapy has been developed for dissolving muscle buds. These are small spasms in the muscle that feel like painful hardening.
In popular speech we also call these small spasms “muscle knots”. These can be caused by overload or trauma such as an accident or surgery. Little exercise, stress & poor nutrition can also cause cramping, resulting in a shortage of oxygen and blood circulation. This lack of oxygen and circulation creates a sensitive area. Exerting pressure on this place often gives a nasty pain with possible pain to other body parts.
