A member asked:
Received deep tissue massage to lower back for muscle spasm. now i have bruises on lower back from the massage - should i be concerned ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds deep.....: certainly consult your masseuse. Deep tissue massage should not leave bruising. The ongoing use of Advil and Aleve (naproxen) may contribute to your issues.
