What is Myofascial Pain Syndrome?

It’s a chronic pain condition where tight knots form in your muscles — called trigger points.
These knots don’t just hurt where they are… they can send pain to other parts of your body too.

Common Signs:
Deep, aching pain in muscles
Stiffness or reduced movement
Tender “knots” you can feel under the skin
Pain that worsens with stress or poor posture
Common Triggers:
Poor posture, repetitive motion, injury, stress, or even lack of sleep.

How It’s Managed:
Stretching & massage therapy
Heat + gentle exercise
Dry needling or physical therapy
Stress management & good ergonomic
Key Takeaway:
It’s not “just muscle soreness.” It’s your fascia — the connective tissue around muscles — getting tight and irritated. Early treatment = faster relief.
