Hello, all.


Welcome to my blog for Otahuhu Chiropractic Acupuncture


Have you heard about muscle knot?

Muscle knot is small area of muscle that may cause significant pain in response to touch.

It can be around your neck, shoulders, back, hips, knees, ankles and all these kinds of joints included.


Do you why does it happen?

It can happen by our bad daily habits such as sitting in a poor posture, prolonged bed rest with awkward posture, repetitive motion and lifting movement, ongoing stress and tension.


What you can do to relieve it?


1.You need rest to allow your body to heal itself.

2.Gentle self-stretching releases pressure of your muscle knot.

3.Deep breathing exercise helps your body to release your muscle tension on the affected area.

4.Hot pack is helpful for controlling your muscle relaxation and cold pack is helpful for your pain-relief.

5.Trigger point massage is also key point to reduce tension and stress over your muscle knot.

6.Chiropractic care helps your body to take an ease of your muscle knot in a gentle and specific correction of body adjustment and plus, stretching and myofascial release.
