Deep Tissue massage is painful...but effective. So is extreme stretching when the muscle is full of blood.
You can read several articles on fascia stretching that substantiate the benefits.
Glad things are going good with you. Sometimes it's best to have a second set of eyes no matter how experienced you are. I'm the first to admit I don't know it all and always looking to learn.
You and FlaPatsFan have really helped motivate me and open my eyes to new ways of training!

Yeah he is trying to break down those knots as well as increase flexibility in our sessions now. Programming he sends out and I'm doing solo at this point. Once he gets me sorted a bit then will do more in the gym with him.
