What is the crunchy sound in muscles when getting a massage? i have it all over
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fibrous adhesions: Sometimes when there is inflammation in the muscles and more likely fascial planes, tiny fibroisis adhesions form and these get broken with deep massage. Nothing to worry about, it is the massage actually working.
