There is such a misconception that deeper pressure and the massage being more painful is better 😬
My friend experienced a brutal, deep leg massage that left him feeling worse
He had a treatment with me which included my usual Swedish, Deep Tissue and Sports techniques plus grounding and working with his body and nervous system, rather than forcing my way in ✨
We also had communication during the treatment because as I was working he was getting sensations that his legs might cramp, which was happening sometimes at night
His treatment was on the Saturday, his legs were painful after, over the next few days it decreased, on Wednesday he messaged me to say the pain was gone 😊 And this was amazing because he has always suffered with leg pain, as an ongoing thing, so I was really happy to get that message
Massage success 🤗 and it goes to show how blending techniques and working with an informed touch and communication really can work wonders
Your muscles don’t have control over themselves, they work on instruction from the brain 🧠 So when you calm everything down and work intentionally you’re signalling safety to the brain and that it’s ok to let that area go
