A deep tissue massage does sound nice!
Worth looking into. If there are trigger points (knots) in the muscle or connective tissue it's going to cause it to shorten or even go into spasm. It's pointless to try to stretch the muscle before you get the trigger point to release. A good massage therapist will know how to find and treat trigger points. It's not a painless process but it works.
