that happens alot believe it or not. sometimes when I find tension in certain people I notice when working on that area, they stop breathing. I do it myself when someone finds a trigger point on me, and I have to remind myself to breathe deep

I mean to say, “I know FMS well.”
An FMS patient …
An FMS patient shouldn’t avoid DT out of fear of pain. It does hurt, but overall there is better lasting relief. Swedish massage makes my muscles tighter and my skin/soft tissue have burning sensations. DT makes my muscles looser and longer and no burning. There is anecdotal evidence to this in others. Fibros should try both and use the best, but DT needs to be given several sessions as we can be full of TPs.
I FMS well …
I FMS well considering I’ve spent the last 10 years studying and living it. Not only through my experience, but that of Massage Therapists have reported that Swedish massage causes flares. For me it caused a 4-day flare. I definitely agree that it would possibly cause flares with DT, the difference being that DT actually works out the accumulated toxins that Swedish doesn’t reach, therefore, a better overall, lasting result. I vouch from experience.
However, my point …
However, my point was that relaxation IS an effective way to increase the effectiveness of massage. And that deep work can and should often be relaxing as well. There is no rule that painful massage is effective.
fms is a pain …
fms is a pain disorder, so of course in this case discomfort during any physical treatment may be unavoidable. Also, fms is a bad example as it is not even understood. As you said yourself, “swedish massage is fine for others who respond well to it”. So basically, deep work is fine for some, and not for others. Deep work on some people with fms would cause unbearable flareups.
I can tell you from …
I can tell you from experience that “relaxation” massage is irritating to FMS. That’s because most people with FMS have chronic myofascial pain that includes trigger points. Swedish style techniques cause flares in most with it. It’s fine for others who respond well to it. DT IS about getting the muscles to function properly for those who are with this condition.

Pehaps leveling the table to the right height of your knuckles, palm or outstretch hand may help. Sorry for intruding unnotice, obgirl87.

well…i have to …
well…i have to say a MT should always massage with loose wrists, this will avoid any future injuries or diseases such as repetitive motion movement “carpal tunnel”…also the massage is not given with force, is putting you body weight on to the person to give pressure, not muscle…i love the teacher who taught me this…she was my mentor once, and now she is in a pedestal!

Stop breathing in Massage? wtf?
Hi tealeh2, Deep …
Hi tealeh2, Deep tissue massage can be done anywhere on the body. It’s a technique with an emphasis on softening muscles and other tissue w/strokes that lengthen and broaden, break up adhesions (like scar tissue), and discover things (like trigger points-a whole other story) and release them. A lot of clients say it feels as if their muscles have been “worked” or “released.” It can reduce pain and increase range of motion. Also, it can release toxins or emotions from the body. Hope this helps.

That is it for a deep tissue massage??? Is it only for the back??
DT can be relaxing …
DT can be relaxing in fact, everything I ever learned about massage, and experienced supports the idea that techniques are much more effective if they are relaxing as well as properly executed. It just bothers me a lot this seemingly elitist attitude that DT is about getting muscles to “function properly” and relaxation is somehow a lesser therapy. What are the benefits of massage? Greater range motion, circulation, etc. Relaxation is effective for all that massage is intended for.
