Pain Series: Part 3 of 6
It does not have to hurt to help!
There is a perception out there that the deeper and more painful a massage, the more good it will do.  Of course if I can give a thorough deepER massage, I can accomplish more in your muscles.  I am here to help you and not to hurt you.  If the pressure is simply too much, your muscles will tighten up in response to guard your body.  When this happens I accomplish nothing.  Also, if the pressure is too deep for your body, you have an increased risk of being sore the following day from the massage itself.  I am here soley for you.  So tell me it is too much and I can adjust my pressure and technique to make sure you comfortable as well as receiving a good deep tissue massage.
