Heat and gentle massage. If you have anything lavender (proper lavender, not just "lavender scented", which is usually nothing like real lavender. Dr Teal's lavender bath stuff is awesome.), soak in a hot lavender bath and keep gently massaging it while you are in the water.

a needle into the knot will usually make it release.

I prefer a hot shower over a bath. I like being able to have the water hit directly where I'm hurting. A good massage helps, too. If it's in the neck, I take Excedrin Tension Headache. For anywhere else, I take Aleve. If it's really bad, I'll use a heating pad in addition to all that.

i'm completely serious. most of the time, when they do a trigger point injection, the needle going into the muscle is what gives you the relief, but the steroid and numbing agent help speed along the recovery.

Cold, hot, cold, hot, alternating continuously every 5 minutes. Gentle massage + NSAID.

Works every time for me.

I've got this f-buddy who will do anything if I ask, so I have him massage them sometimes, only really happen on my shoulders.

It's like having a slave.
