I can do only so much from these 2 websites for the shoulders, but a good massage therapist or maybe called art therapists or whatever will be able to truly release it for good right? Is that why the tightness been coming back because I was self massaging my shoulders and also sometimes seeing my chiropractor? Whenever I use my shoulders, that is when the tightness comes back. I want the knotts gone. Can it also be because not enough stretching?

What is ART exactly and who exactly performs ART? all I can find at google are machine stuff and how can you get better from a machine or maybe I found the wrong information? I thought ART was a type of massage therapy.
I'm definitely not an expert, but ART stands for Active Release Technique. I haven't actually experienced ART, but from what I've read ART is stretches that promote myofascial release via contracting and stretching muscles.
