Lately I've been massaging myself since no one I know can do it well enough besides a massagist, and I can't hire one everyday Lol. So, how do I find knots in my back?
Someone told me it felt like a bump, well how do I know it's not a bone?

You reach back and massage your shoulders and squeeze them gently I guess... I might be double jointed??

A bone is pretty obvious, if your bones are in the right place :)
A "knot" is kind of like...well, when you go over it, it's like your hand/finger/whatever sort of "jumps" over it. It's like something's in the way when you go back and forth over it. It will feel really tight and might hurt a bit. Be gentle trying to get knots out.

Massaging Knots

Knots are just lumps of tissue in ones body where a persone is usually stressed.
Depening on how hard your knots are, knots and bones are basically the same. But bones are usually harder. Just don't massage yourself in large bone areas. Or, who cares if you actually massage your bone? worst comes to worst, it hurts a little bit.

When you find it you will know it.
Massage your knuckle, that is the difference
Most people have knots about 2 inches from the spine and about 2-3 inches down.
See if you can find that.

It you get a spoon and hit it.. not to hard to hurt yourself like 3 times and if it sound like you are hitting a wall it's bone but if it don't make that sound it made be a knot..
But may I ask why are you looking for knots in your back?

When you feel the bump, if you can move it or if it hurt when you touch it, then it is a knot - bones don't usually hurt or move when you touch them.
And knots can usually be located close to the spinal cord, and when massaging them, you want to apply constant pressure, but not to the point of pain.
(ps. its not massagist..its called a masseuse (ma-seuss)..lol)

bump (knot) vs bone.
The bump will be able to move easily... and if you know what muscle it is you can flex it. Bones don't move and are actually a harder consistency than bones.

they fill like little bumps on your back and they are tight wound up spots in your muscles. if you massage them for awhile they go away. They are usually the size of a marble.
