Why can muscles feel tight even when you stretch?
The feeling of tightness is real, but it does not always mean a muscle simply needs to be lengthened. Repetition, unfamiliar activity, poor sleep and stress can all influence how an area feels.
Massage and stretching may provide relief, especially when adapted to the cause and your comfort. Long-term change often also involves recovery, varied movement and appropriate professional care when symptoms persist.
