A member asked:
Can a massage therapist tell if you have chronic inflamation in your body by the tightness in your upper back/shoulders?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A licensed massage: Therapist can feel tightness and trigger points in the body, many times this is in the traps, the area in neck and shoulders. Official diagnosis for inflammation or anything else comes from your doc. Peace and good health.
