Does massage therapy have to hurt to work? 🤔
A common myth is that deeper = better. The truth? Not always.
When you’re in pain, your nervous system can become sensitive and protective. Sometimes a lighter touch is exactly what your body needs to help calm the nervous system and reduce pain signals.
The right pressure depends on:
✔️ Your pain levels
✔️ Your tolerance
✔️ The condition being treated
✔️ Your body’s response to treatment
Effective massage isn’t about how much pain you can tolerate—it’s about finding the approach that helps your body heal.
Sometimes the best results come from consistent treatment, not the deepest pressure. 💆♀️✨
