If a plant is very potbound and the roots are growing around and around in the shape of the pot, you can gently massage the roots to loosen the root mass prior to replanting. If the roots are not growing around and around in the shape of the pot you won't need to massage them to loosen the rootmass. In fact, if the roots are tender you can break them if you massage them and it will set your plant back by a few weeks. Hope this clarifies things for you!
