Massage on healthy tissue feels good. The normal response is the slow down, breathe deeply, and relax.
Your Massage Therapist will begin using a lighter touch, preparing you for deeper pressure. The most effective and deepest massage works with the body’s natural responses, not against them. Working in the area of injury or chronic pain may at first cause some discomfort, which usually lessens as the treatment progresses. Your Massage Therapist knows ways to minimize pain, and will work carefully within what feels right to you. Always tell your therapist if you feel discomfort so he/she can adjust.
It is important to remember that you are in control of your treatment and if you are uncomfortable with any aspect of the treatment, your therapist expects you to voice your concerns.
Our Massage Therapists will be happy to discuss your questions by phone or in person before you book an appointment. But in the end, the best answers come from experiencing massage first-hand. Enjoy in good health.
