All organs in the human body are strongly connected with each other by means of ligament structures, the nervous system or fascia. If an organ undergoes dysfunction, it affects the work of other organs. For example, if the liver function is disturbed, then the diaphragm, right shoulder and even neck may deteriorate.

Deep tissue massage (DTM) is a massage aimed at removing tension in the myofascial system by relaxing, lengthening and making the tissues more elastic. It is made without the use of olive oil or with its minimum amount to better affect the fascia.

During this massage, trigger points are also removed, i.e. excessively strained muscle fibers, which during pressure cause a lot of pain that can radiate. It is an unpleasant feeling, but it brings a quick effect. Already after the first massage, patients feel a marked improvement and relief.

The sciatic nerve is the longest and thickest nerve in the human body.
