⚠️Not every muscle texture is a problem that can be treated for permanent relief!
People LOVE asking us to treat their ropy knots!
Unfortunately, if we did, those people would feel amazing leaving our office, until the pain comes crashing back in 2-3 days!
Temporary relief is not good enough @barefootrehab
Ropy knots are secondary problems.
Adhesion (or fascial glue) is a primary problem.
That’s why we focus 100% on adhesion, so our patients’ relief lasts weeks, months, to years.
Here, our upper body adhesion specialist Dr. Joe notes some “ropy” tissue that he avoids, then he finds some adhesion between the nerve roots and scalene muscles.
This is an extremely common spot to treat when you:
👉 have numbness or tingling in your forearms, hands, or fingers
👉 can’t bend your ear to your shoulder without tightness or pain
👉 feel like your shoulders are always shrugged
