What Causes Tight Latissimus Dorsi?
Since most of the major movement is performed by the arms below the head, the muscles in this area often become tight and shortened due to lack of movement. Although tightness in these muscles is less likely to limit shoulder motion when the arms are below the shoulders, tightness can limit the ability to perform movements with the arms higher than the shoulders, such as cross-country skiing, gymnastics, rock climbing, and golf .
For each person, the problems of muscle tension and fascia adhesion will vary a lot due to their own innate bone structure/personal posture/exercise factors. Many people in the current office population lack exercise, lack of core strength, and sitting for a long time every day can easily lead to excessive tension in the back muscles. Therefore, most people will feel sore during the first massage, especially when the back first receives external force ranging from a few seconds to tens of seconds. This is because the adhesion nodes are slowly opened. As the muscle fibers are opened, muscles that are normally tense and overstretched are relaxed, and you feel a sense of relaxation.
