A client with a kyphosis likes to have the back massaged and asks that most of the massage time be focused there. However, each week the client complains that the massage is ineffective in reducing back pain the day after the massage. What is the most effective explanation that can be given to the client?
A
The soft tissue of the back often is long and taut because of extensive pulling and shortening of tissues in the chest; massage of the chest may help.
explanation
Long, taut tissue, usually extensors and abductors, often produces pain but is not the source.
