Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To prepare the muscles for deep tissue massage, you could use diathermy. The diathermy process provides heat at a deeper level than a hot pack and to a larger area than ultrasound. Since you would like to massage the entire shoulder girdle, using diathermy to heat the area would be appropriate.
