“Go as deep as you want”
“I wanna get the most for my money outta this massage”
“I want it to hurt”
“Pain equals gain”
These comments drive me bonkers !!! lol Let’s learn about massage and pressure.
I do not believe in using deep pressure for MOST of my clients. For MANY reasons. Their bodies cant handle it (holding your breath, flinching and tensing muscles are all signs that the pressure is not comfortable for your body !), their nervous system does not respond well to it and honestly most people are not even aware enough of their body to properly relax to accept deeper pressure.
I do therapeutic massage. Theres a difference. I listen to what you have to say about your complaint, i observe you (the way you walk, sit, move) and then i listen to what your body has to say. And what do I follow ? - your body. 100% of the time THAT is what dictates the pressure I am going to use for your treatment.
How to accept deeper pressure ? Breathe. Stay relaxed. Mentally lean into the sensation. Be aware of your body. Come into your session with an open mind and lets learn your body together ! I can teach you !!!
