Deep Massage

 

Deep massage is contraindicated if the patient is fatigued, stressed, unable to relax to deep pressure or has bruising over an area.  Different people have different abilities to relax when deep pressure is applied to their tissues.  If they completely relax the musculature, then deep tissue will not cause bruising.  If they cannot relax and instead ‘mound up’ against pressure, bruising will occur.
