People who experience chronic muscle tension or pain caused by factors such as poor posture, injuries, stress or physical activity could greatly benefit from receiving regular sessions of deep-tissue massage therapy in order to reduce pain symptoms and improve overall well-being. However, individuals with certain health conditions should consult their doctor before starting any new type of treatment or if they have concerns about safety risk associated with this type of bodywork technique especially if they may have adverse reactions (i.e., allergy) towards essential oils or lotions commonly used during treatments.)
