"Massage has to hurt to work."
We hear this all the time β and it's one of the biggest massage myths out there! πββοΈ
While deep tissue massage can involve more pressure, effective massage therapy isn't about causing pain. In fact, too much pressure can sometimes make muscles tighten up even more.

Whether you prefer a gentle therapeutic massage or deeper muscle work, your session should leave you feeling better β not beaten up.
What massage myth did you believe before learning otherwise? π
