"Deep tissue massage" is a fairly recent invention designed to take advantage of 20th Century susceptibility to things "mysterious" and "beyond science"...it was invented in 1922 by Ida Rolf.

The main idea behind the trigger point massage is that there are certain points on the body where calcium buildup occurs and Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders.
