Can frequent deep tissue massages cause swollen nodes? can massage from someone not trained be dangerous? i have swollen nodes but not sick.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: massage cant result in production of lymph nodes which are essentially found along major venous structures in the groin, para aortic region, axilla and cervical region. Only an inflammatory or neoplastic process can spread to and involve nodes. If no tumor present, nodes in general are inflammatory Bad massage can injure underlying tissue.
