Why do you have knots in your back?

Knots are areas of muscle that are in contraction or spasm. You can get them from overworking a muscle in your back. You can also get them from overstretching a muscle. This is probably the most common cause since so many of us have failing posture and this causes back muscles to be stretched too much. Muscles also need sufficient minerals and water to function well and not create knots.


Can muscle spasms on your back cause you to collapse?

No, back spasms would't cause a person to collapse. More likely, a spasm causes a person to abruptly stand still, bend in the direction that gives the most relief, and causes a "seizing" or tightness in the back muscles that are affected. Typically, if the person can lean or bend holding onto a wall or piece of furniture, or sit or lie down, the spasm eases and the person can move about again. Most back pain has spasms of varying degrees.
