Massage Pathology Chronicles

What I found most interesting was how to massage an overweight client. It is important to remember that areas with a lot of adipose tissue must be massaged carefully as to not incur bruising or tissue damage. I was not aware the back, neck and legs would require extra work as these muscles become overdeveloped to carry the weight. I guess that explains why some overweight women I have massaged had very "thick" backs and shoulders.
