Many clients enjoy the sensation of deep tissue massage. Yet some therapists shy away from incorporating this form of massage into their treatments, believing that it requires application of force greater than what they can deliver. Or they are anxious about how to apply pressure safely. In Deep Tissue Massage Video With CE Exam, Jane Johnson, a chartered physiotherapist and sport massage therapist specializing in musculoskeletal occupational health, demonstrates how to use compressive and stretching techniques in ways that are safe and effective for you and your clients.
