One of my biggest pet peeves as a Massage Therapist is when I’m literally just applying oil & warming up the muscles & the client goes, “Can you go firmer?” 🤣
Meanwhile I’m over here like:
“Bestie…I’m just saying hello to your muscles.” 😅
Like…trust the process, my friend.😅
We’re not even at the actual work part yet!
Warming up the tissue is just as important as the deep stuff. 🙌
Imagine trying to stretch a cold rubber band. If you pull too hard right away, it snaps!
But if you warm it up first, it gets soft, stretchy, and safe to work with.
Muscles are the same way! They need a little warm-up time so they don’t get hurt & so the deeper work actually feels good & works better.
Massage is a journey, not a race. 👍
