You should leave each session feeling better, not worse. In other words, massage should feel helpful and not hurt.
Deep pressure can be helpful. "Good" pain can be helpful. But these are not always necessary, and not always helpful. It depends on the person and the situation.
My style is all about effectiveness and finding a style that works well for YOU. So there won't be any forcing your body into uncomfortable positions or using extreme pressure.
There WILL be lots of clear communication to find exactly what feels right and avoid what feels unsafe or unpleasant.
Of course, occasional mild soreness can happen, like after a workout, but most clients report immediate relief and improved comfort.
In rare cases as with clients with severe fibromyalgia or other conditions, you may be extra sensitive to pressure. My style of massage is perfect for these cases because it can easily adapt to whatever level of pressure is safe and beneficial to you.
