Chest stretch.
If you find yourself working hunched over a computer screen all day, it’s a good idea to take a stretch break every hour or so. The doorway stretch for your pectoralis muscles provides length for tight and contracted muscles and relief for those strained fatigued back muscles.

The process of trigger point formation.
The next time you feel a painful “knot” in your muscle tissue take a moment to reflect on just how complicated a process it was for it to get there.
Poor posture and trigger points
If this looks familiar to you, then you probably have trigger points. The muscles in your back and neck become strained and overloaded and the muscles in the front become shortened and contracted. When this happens trigger points can develop. These points will cause pain, refered pain, stiffness and weakness. Trigger points in the neck muscles can refer pain into the head and cause headaches.

Myofascial pain syndrome.
Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic pain disorder. In this condition, pressure on sensitive points in your muscles (trigger points) causes pain in the muscle and sometimes can cause pain spread to other parts of your body. This is called referred pain. Trigger points can also cause stiffness and weakness.
This syndrome typically occurs after a muscle has been contracted repetitively. This can be caused by repetitive motions used in jobs or hobbies or by stress-related muscle tension.
While nearly everyone has experienced muscle tension pain, the discomfort associated with myofascial pain syndrome persists or worsens. Treatment options include massage therapy, dry needling, and physical therapy. relaxation techniques such as meditation also can help.
