We have all felt the “it hurts so good” pressure pain and we’ve all felt the pressure pain that makes your body jump. There should never be a time during your session where the pressure is so deep that you’re wincing or it’s unbearable. Struggling through pressure pain like that is not healthy nor is it beneficial to the massage. At that point, your body is tensing up causing your muscles to contract therefore not giving your ailment areas the right type of treatment. If at any time during a session, pressure is too deep you should be vocal about it; let your therapist know so they can adjust. Remember just because you were able to handle deep pressure in another area or that same area before, does not mean that’s what you need in your current session.
