Well I guess it depends on who you are talking to. I hear this question all the time and it drives me crazy! Due to the different levels of training in many areas, this debate is ongoing among massage therapists everywhere. For example, I was trained in an area that is medically based massage therapy. Now let another place promote no pain, no gain. I was trained in the premises to do nothing wrong, and to treat injuries and pains, not to do more. When I hear about people getting bruises from a massage, I shake my head in vain and wonder if that therapist is paying attention to what they are doing. I always ask people if they tell a therapist that they are troubled and I wonder how many times they have told. a> them Here are my thoughts on Deep Tissue Massage and I have had very few complaints about my work.
1. Deep Tissue Massage is a firm massage that exercises the tissue. Anything more than “Comfortable Soreness” feedback from your customers is unacceptable. Encourage your customers to let you go. If you want to see a stressful look on their face or feel them depressing, be sure to check it out.
2. Pain is the body’s warning that it has had enough. When you’re in pain, your body sends you a warning that it’s on its way and you need to push back. Compelling text causes more problems than it solves. Maybe consider spending more time warming up that area or moving and tending closer to the area to open it up.
3. To force a text that is not ready to give will do wrong. If the muscle is tight and you want to stick in the elbow there, to show who is the boss, you can finally cut or tear the web. Now if you have a muscle soreness, how did you help? People generally want to feel better after a massage rather than spending days recovering from one.
4. There are many comfortable and advanced techniques that do not require pain or intense pressure. Many people think that the only way to change the muscle is to manage the most active and direct techniques that use force. There are many great and effective techniques out there that only require good knowledge of the antagonistic muscle group, so you treat the culprit rather than the symptoms. Even more or less using a few very powerful techniques.
5. Knowing about cause and effect will help you deal with the problem more effectively and give your customers the results they are looking for. When a muscle is tight, why is it tight? Is there compensation going on? Are there any questions? Is the muscle really tight or just over stretched? Complaints when you treat them, their symptoms always go away.
Some clients may be too embarrassed or uncomfortable in giving feedback under pressure. Maybe they’re afraid of offending you or coming across as a wimp, but remind them that this is their hangup and you want to benefit from your work. Always put your customer’s comfort first. Now there is no way to set that up, someone needs to set it up. Just be sure to always put the safety of your customers first.
