session - 20 minutes. Before the massage, palpable evaluation of the selected anatomical structures was carried out - to determine which tissues have the greatest sensitivity and which motor organs show increased tension (by pressing the attachment). In all the examined patients, pain of the following muscle attachments were shown: * latissimus muscle of the back * major pectoral muscle * supraspinous and infraspinous muscles * teres minor muscle * serratus anterior muscle * deltoid muscle The decision which muscles and fascias have to be massaged was made on the basis of the performed evaluation. In most cases the above mentioned tissues (together with other motor system organs which are structurally linked to it) were massaged to relax them. A palpable evaluation of the previously examined points was again performed during the final part, with particular attention paid to painful muscles, in order to analyze the effectiveness of the performed relaxation.
