š¢š¢ MASSAGE SHOULDNāT HURT!!!
And it doesnāt have to in order for us to get results.
Yes, there are many different styles of bodywork and techniques used. And yes, some are going to be more intense than others. Thereās a big difference between āintensityā and āpressureā and outright pain.
Iām talking bruises, guys. Iām talking āI had to breathe through itā and āI just wanted to end the session and leave.ā Iām talking clients who told their therapist to lighten up and were basically told that theyāre WRONG, and if you canāt tell, Iām mad as hell about it.
If youāve experienced a session like this,
Iām sorry. Please know that pressure is *subjective*- one personās mild-medium might leave another person sore for days. You know whatās right for your body and where the line is, and anybody you trust to put their hands on you needs to respect it.
I truly believe there is a great massage therapist out there for everyone! And if you want bodywork thatās effective, but also deeply relaxing, I just might be the one for you. š
