Stiff muscles/muscle tightness/tension
Explanation:
I think the text is about muscle discomfort, not a muscle disease.

This tightness feels like lumps, or "knots", or "ropes" when rubbed, and can cause pain, headaches

Massage helps relieve headaches by releasing tight shortened muscles, trigger points, and fascia (connective tissue surrounding muscles and other structures) in the neck and head.

I think this translation is indeed the best since it is very general and indeed about discomfort and not so much about diseases.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Ruchira Raychaudhuri: Actually I agree with Francina because the text seems to be a general one about massage and not about a specific disease. Even though 'myosclerosis' may be a translation of 'spierverharding', the context should help decide how to translate it.
