A muscle knot, or trigger point, is a tender bump-like area in a muscle that is caused by muscle fibers, or the casing called fascia, tightening up. Trigger points can happen from a muscle injury or strain. Small micro tears can happen in the muscle tissue fibers and as it heals, it contracts and twists. When these muscle fibers are knotted, the fresh blood supply is restricted as the muscle shortens to protect itself.
