Some people may find that massage loses its effectiveness once they get used to it. But if they consequently then ask masseurs to apply greater force, they may end up rupturing the cells of muscle fibers, damaging the joints and ligaments, or even injuring the nervous system or blood vessels and causing contusions which, if too large to be fully metabolized, may lead to calcification.
有些人因習慣性按摩而有「減敏」現象，越來越不痛、也越來越沒有紓解效果；但如果因此要求按摩師加大力道，可能會造成肌肉纖維細胞破裂、關節或韌帶組織受傷，甚至傷及神經、血管，造成瘀血現象，有些部位甚且因出血量大，無法完全排除代謝，而形成鈣化的異物。
