Whether the muscle adhesion can be rubbed away by massage depends on the degree and time of the muscle adhesion. If the adhesion is caused by acute injury, it can usually be rubbed away, while chronic injury causes, usually requires surgery to release the adhesion. 1. Acute injury: for acute injury to the muscle caused by localized muscle spasm, resulting in localized muscle hardness, generally through gentle massage to relieve muscle spasm, muscle relaxation, hard knots can be kneaded open. 2. Chronic injury: for chronic muscle injury, muscle adhesions for a long time, the formation of stubborn muscle adhesions and muscle scarring, this situation through massage, kneading and other techniques usually can not be kneaded away. Such chronic adhesions usually need to be loosened by small needle loosening or surgical removal of severely adherent muscles to release the adhesions. Therefore, when muscle adhesions are prolonged, painful or interfere with normal muscle function, it is important to seek medical attention and receive appropriate treatment under the supervision of a physician.
