this is interesting - another way to explain why we need to get rid of trigger points first -

[It doesn’t surprise me that stretching it is making it worse. The problem with stretching is that it doesn’t always release the spasms that are shortening the muscle fibers. In fact, I’ve found that most of the time you have to first release the spasms, and then you can safely stretch. The analogy I use is, if you had a 12″ piece of rope and you tied enough knots in it to make it 11″ long, you couldn’t stretch it back to 12″ without first untying the knots. It’s the same thing with your muscles. That’s what the Julstro System does, it shows you how to find the many knots, and how to untie each of them, and then how to safely stretch all the muscles.]
