Which is better for knotted muscles, chiropractor, massage, acupuntcure, yoga or Soma?

Maybe you have had experience with something that works well. I have lots of stress in my life and my muscles are all knotted up. What helps you?

Personally, if I can deal with muscle pain without taking medications, then that would be best. Rest, hot baths & massage do work most of the time. One really bad back pain prompted me to go to the doctor and she prescribed a muscle relaxant which made me feel better after a couple of days.
