A recent health-focused exploration into shoulder knots shows promising relief through a short, low-cost routine. Health journalist insights from a published experiment highlight how targeted movement—and not just massages or pills—can help stressed shoulder muscles.

Shoulder knots form when muscle fibers stay contracted, causing soreness and reduced mobility. Physiotherapists explain that poor posture—think long hours at a computer—plays a major role, a common reality for many people in Thailand. Active stretching can move fluids in the fascia, the tissue surrounding muscles, which may offer more lasting relief than static stretching alone.
