What are these little hard “knots” that move around during massages?

229 views

Why is it, when I’m getting (or giving) a massage, that when you find the little hard bumps that seem to be the source of pain, they move? What exactly are these bumps and how can they seemingly move several inches?

A lot of them are where the fascia (tissue structure between muscle and skin) and muscle have stuck together. Fascia is the part of our bodies that keeps the skin in place and not sliding around so it needs to be sticky. Sometimes though, it gets so sticky that it creates an adhesion, AKA “knots”.
