A member asked:
Why do i get lumps under my skin after a massage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle knots: Massage is good for superficial muscle spasm relaxation. However, mechanical excitation from a massage is not sufficient to relax the deep muscle spasms. With chronic uperficial muscle spasms , mechanical excitation from massage is not sufficient and teases the muscle rather then releasing it. Therefore, the muscle goes into a knot and these are the lumps that you feel.
