Muscles and motion are the same in all athletes, human or other.

All athletics stress the muscular system. This causes tightening of the muscle fibers. At the point of stress, "knots" form. Over time these "knots" add more fibers, compromising freedom and ease of motion. Pain and discomfort arise and resistance develops.

The athlete can no longer perform at peak efficiency or power.

Breaking apart the adhered fibers and loosening the whole muscle returns the athlete to full potential.

Warming up and stretching can not release "knots."

Only direct pressure, cross fiber friction and compression of the muscle fibers, along with proper follow-up exercise, restore the tissue to normal function.
