The assumption that you have to stretch and release a muscle that feels tight and sore to fix your problem can be the exact opposite to what you have to do. Muscles can feel tight for 2 reasons:

1) The muscle is chronically contracted or ‘shortened’

2) The muscle is chronically overstretched or ‘lengthened’

In both scenarios, the pain and restricted movement can feel the same.

Pushing further into this is futile.
