A member asked:
Certain places on back and shoulder and neck sore to the touch . could that be muscle tension? any remedies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Trigger points: Sound like you may have trigger points or "knots". These can certainly be caused by tension. Heat and massage are good remedies the can be used followed by stretching the muscles involved. In some people they are severe and require medical evaluation for treatment. Physical therapy may also be helpful.
