*  Most of us have some targeted muscles that knot up under stress. It's a sort of a viscous cycle. Stress produces adrenaline , which produces muscle tension, which more adrenaline, and so on. A good way to break the cycle is by finding out the targeted muscles , as they are the one's responsible for tension under pressure. Usually muscles in the back of your neck and upper back are the culprits. So massage them when ever you feel like in stress or in order to eradicate the stress situation just massage them whenever possible or you get time
