massage and bodywork professionals

a community of practitioners

I've got a new client that came to me with a Baker's Cyst (popliteal cyst) on her posterior knee. She stated that a "friend of hers went to a massage therapist and the therapist was able to massage away the cyst." She asked me if I might be able to do the same for her. She had some other areas of concern that I worked on but, I told her I would have to do some research on the Baker's cyst. Everything that I've read so far says to stay away from them, that you could do more harm than good.

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with baker's cysts?

Thanks!
