What Causes Recurring Knots In Shoulders?
I keep getting recurring knots in my shoulders - I have had massages & am fine for a while then they return! I had a massage last month & the therapist said I should have a massage once a month to sort them out but I can t really afford to spend fifty quid once a month! What are knots & how can i try to get rid of them?

Hello,
You are suffering from tendinitis or fibrofacitis of your shoulder and spinal areas. These complaints frequently arise from bad posture and overuse injuries. I would suggest you to consult a physiotherapist and sort out your posture and strengthen your paraspinal and shoulder muscles. This will help u out. For pain you can apply any topical pain relieving gel or balm.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
