Is Swedish Massage supposed to be painful?
Many people have experienced the pain caused by deep tissue massage over tender and tight muscles, not knowing that a massage can be very beneficial without pain as well. Each client will have areas that are more tender than others and every body is different. My intention is to provide massage that allows you to relax, both body and mind, while tension and knots are massaged away. Each massage is based on your preferences, including the depth of pressure. If you request deep work, be prepared to experience a mild discomfort that most enjoy as a “good pain”, and possibly some soreness the following 1-3 days as the muscles adjust to their new, relaxed state. If you request light pressure, you should experience no discomfort at all, and simply enjoy the relaxing benefits of massage. Communication is always important for me to provide you with the very best massage possible.
