What Releasing (Another) Muscle Knot Looks Like! Deep Tissue Massage 

I have absolutely no experience in massaging someone. My girlfriend has a very tense, knotted and pained back. So I watched your video to help relieve some of her pain and it helped tremendously. She had gone to a misuse appointment and it didnt do much but when i rubbed her the way you showed it was way more helpful so thank you

I had two muscle knots removed in that same area. We had a health fair at my job and two students were do excited to do it. I felt them release, I felt soooo much better afterwards.

For mobile users: 0:39 warmup 3:55 for knot release

I need this. My shoulders hold ALL of my stress. I have panic attacks daily to the point that my entire body tenses up like I'm having a seizure. It's exhausting and so freaking painful. I could feel the release as I watched the muscle relax. Ugggh, it would be amazing to experience that. I bet he felt so much better!

My wife has a tendency to get muscle knots so I get to do massages often. Over time I developed a sense on how to get the muscles to relax. It feels amazing to have a video like this validate the techniques I instinctively picked up through experience. 4:17 one thing to note about muscle knots “letting go” is that sometimes they only appear to let go but they actually went under the finger or elbow or whatever body part you’re using for applying pressure. Even though the video didn’t show it, I’m pretty sure he went back and did this pin point pressure thing again a couple of times to ensure that the muscle knot was released. Sometimes, the muscle knots are just so bad that after a couple of these pin point deep pressure thing it still wont let go. At this point, I’ll get a glass bottle and fill it with lukewarm water, dry it up, oil up the bad muscle knot and just slowly glide the lukewarm glass bottle over it until it softens and I can get it to release.

So some people say muscle 'knots' are not real. They sure feel real! They sure cause discomfort for real! And the relief that comes from massage is also very real.

I felt that muscle release in my soul. I need to get this done to my whole body then be snapped back into place by a chiropractor. Then have someone carry me around as I will most likely be to relaxed to move for a hour. :P

I have fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. A couple weeks ago I have my first massage ever, and it was amazing. Yes, it physically helps, but something noone talks about is actual just the touch. Just having a warm and comforting presence was honestly the best thing for me. I start massage therapy later this month and will alternate my appointments with my chiropractic ones as well.

I am newly licensed and have my third day of work today. This is so useful I wish your were my instructor! I never got taught this!

I can't imagine what this guy feels after this. I only watch stretches and followed those, but after watching this?? Wow!! I just want to get rid of my back pain 😭😭

I was having neck pain for a few weeks and I remembered that I can massage my knots with my thumb knuckle, after a few relaxing painful minutes of massaging my knots, I noticed that they went away. My neck feels super today. But I might need to get some back massage done. Great video.

This is awesome man! Just started massage school 6 weeks ago and I understood everything you said and it was so satisfying 😂

You make me want to be a therapist. I love your explanations! As a client, I would find this extremely interesting to learn during the massage.

The other day I had 2 clients with a lot of stubborn knots 😭. Wish I had my tools with me bc it irritated me not to completely release them. I love how effortless your techniques look

Omg I have a spinal fusion from c1-4, all my pain is in my neck, shoulders, and traps so this looks amazing!

Im so happy i found you! So much help for future therapists and current ones!

I KNEW IT muscle knots is real. My mom use to have this all the time whenever She sleep wrong. I basically just massage it against the scapula bone and when I feel the knot. Apply a bit of pressure and she’s all good

found your page because I'm interested in beginning classes to pursue massage therapy and was concerned about being a male in the biz... preciate you making the videos. very informational and gives me a good idea of what I'd be doing in the field

Oh damn that release looked amazing

I need this!! I’m so tense in those areas I can’t sleep at night 😭

The more he replayed it the less I saw it 😂

I need this in my life so bad. I’ve never had a professional massage

I need this more than ever right now

I saw the twitch. I like how you used the right arm and pivoted to reverse your arm after the release and as you continued around the scapula.

I like coming back to this video to watch this release. It’s really cool to see

I’ve had this same knot in my back for years. I need this

I'm loving all of your videos, they are super helpful for new therapists such as myself!

this massage really looks very relaxing

thanks so much for this. in a lot of my student clinics i'm faced with this challenge and it's kind of overwhelming. this broke it down nicely, seeing as a lot of student clients have knots here.

This is extremely magical and I wish I could have a therapist do this for me

Went to a chiropractor years ago, after one session i had a night where i had the worse pain i ever had in my life , at 2.57 in your video the pain i had was the left side of my neck right down to where your hand is at the base part of the scapula. Since then pain comes and goes and i feel weakness there

Awesome job, Spencer! 😁 I like this new format, too! The voiceovers are good, but it's great to see you explain what you're doing. Keep up the amazing work!!

keep up the brilliant instruction, my massage technique has improved immensely over the past year, many thanks.

I'm about to graduate massage therapy school this week! I appreciate all your videos, you do awesome work and continue to inspire me! My class actually watched a few of your videos I recommended, hopefully you earned a few more subscribers! :)

that's was a great technique I use same elbow to release muscle Thank you enjoyed watching

You are the pro of pro's in massage therapist.keep up the great work bro.

I swear your vids is always so relaxing and educational. Gives me a better idea and understanding of what to do.

My back has knots all over the place. Jus watching this video relaxed me

So satisfying. I'm just happy that you referenced that other video of yours that I watched years ago.

I need to book wit u dawg. Great content

Thank you so much! sometimes when a client asks me to work a good 90 mins on their shoulders mostly, I'm not sure what else to do when I've done all the warming and necessary frictions in the area. but I now know I can spend more time warming their tissue up so their muscles don't fight me.

I need another video just like this and LONGER PLEASE

Great 👍🏻 Job Spencer! I’m falling asleep 😴 just thinking 🤔 how Relaxing this Looks!

U make it look so easy .. but im sure il be able to master this soon

You videos are amazing - congrats on the 100k

Fabulous thank you for sharing sir😍 for giving another techniques i will learn much more on your video❤❤❤ watching here from Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭

I injured my back and when I went to the chiropractor they did the heating pad thing and the electric thing it sent that made my muscles tense without me tensing them felt better than the actual cracking

His vocal tone and annunciations are interesting. Specifically, how he end some of his words. Super cute

Is it normal when my husband is giving me a deep tissue massage that my legs spasm not in a bad way but when he is deep on that knot it feels good but hurts at the same time

This is definitely my go-to channel as a new massage therapist to stay educated!

Back at it again with these awesome vids

Are you taking any clients cause I definitely need this🥴

is it bad that my mouth literally started watering just thinking about getting this done to my back 😭😅😅

And why do we need to warm up the tissue before going deep? So it gets soft allowing us to get in better or to prevent pain, or prevent bruises? Or all I said or smth else?

Just wanted to say love your nails😍

I hate knots but I love it when my bf messages my knots out from my back. Sometimes when it’s bad it hurts getting the massage for the first few minutes and I have to endure it but later it feels awesome

good work on the levator. Good job.

you're videos are straight to the point and very educational, now to go get interviewed!

I am glad I subscribed to you!!!!

I love the way you go into detail as a new remedial therapist these vids are really helping me

This is a serious question, how do you get rid of knots similar to that on the mid back muscles, and the lower back muscles; as well as where you would get sciatica pain?

It's insane that you can literally SEE it 😳

I do it for patients but very painful for them

Can muscle release cause nausea and upset stomach?

My new favorite massage channel

Omg I have so many knots that I need getting rid of ASAP plz 😢

Great work 🙏💛

This was an excellent episode !!

I massage my own back and I know every spot to go for when I do someone else's back

Thank you. My wife suffers really bad from this.

Thanks for massage video.amazing

all the stress im feeling is on my shoulders. this would really feel relieving 😭

I really need this!!!

Arghh If you were in the UK i would 100% book you!!

..is the liquid in the adhesion and if so, what's being released when the muscle let's go?

I have an unbearable knot in my armpit back of my shoulder area and I have no idea what to do about it.

I'd pay so much money to have a personal massage therapist.

Good job 👍🏻 from Indonesia

Exactly what i need

I saw cupping tools. Do you ever use those to help with adhesion removal. If so I’d love to see your take on how to use the cups to that purpose.

I need this so bad

Thanks for sharing!!!

This is awesome

I see you massaging people all day but who’s massaging u?

Love your work bro

I am a massage therapist so thks I need all the tips

This looks amazing, and it's so interesting to watch.

Great job!!

What is this type of massage called

Will this be beneficial for someone who has a lot of tension and tightness in the neck as well as shoulders due to sitting at a desk nearly all day every day/bad posture ?

Amazing and thorough review!

Thanks that was a helpful video

Great sharing 👍

Where are you located? Or how do I sign up for a massage?

I need this so bad...I wish i can do it for myself

That was awesome.

How can you tell it’s an adhesion?

I’ve gotten dry needled before my muscle popped so good

Thank you for the Great video

What is adhesion? Which muscle adheres to what? And why??
