Before treatment, your practitioner may need to ask a series of questions, while palpating rele- vant body parts to ascertain the nature of your injury, its cause and resultant manifestation. The findings and outcomes influence the strength, location and depth of the massage. Treatment requires the exposure of the problem area: this is to assess for temperature of the skin, observe any bruising or scarring and to allow the massage therapist access to the dys- functional region.

Often people report ‘discomfort’ when old injuries are treated but then report that it ‘feels good’ to have such areas treated.
