Which muscles do you massage most?

It seems to be that most people receiving massage tend to get their back muscles massaged more than any other part of their bodies. Part of reason for this may have to do with the assumption that most people feel more comfortable getting massage on their backs, even though the problems that give them discomfort are muscles in other parts of their bodies, usually on their front side. In general, on the back and shoulders the trapezius muscle is the one that is most often massaged because it works all day long holding your shoulders in place. It is ideal to massage muscles in your body parts where you used frequently. Because these muscles are in frequent stress and strain, especially while working.
