A member asked:

How can i relieve knots and tension on my back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Therapeutic massage: should help significantly, especially if they are frequent. You can also try laying on foam roller (you can purchase at walmart or target) and use this to relieve tension. Avoid stress when possible and good posture is also helpful. I can say these are helpful from personal experience.

Had my partner push on my back, very hard, to relieve tension. Heard a pop sound. No pain at the time, but spine and back developed consistent pain a few days/weeks after. Could this be serious? Or just pushed too hard and irritated area.
