I consider myself a gentle body and energy work/ massage therapist. This does not necessarily translate to “doesn’t or can’t give deep pressure” though. (Ask my Jiu Jitsu teammates 😈) It simply means I achieve goals in the gentlest way possible and I let your muscles, soft tissues, and energetic pathways tell me what they need.
Consider your soft tissues as a non- Newtonian fluid; think ooblek or imagine a bar of chocolate. The more force you use with ooblek, the harder it resists, and with the bar of chocolate too much force will actually break it. With both of these if you simply apply slow steady pressure and respond to what you are feeling,, you can sink all the way through them. With the chocolate bar, if you are consistent and focus on the entire bar, you can melt the entire thing evenly. I don’t want to make you fight me or worse break, rip, or tear something which is why I adjust my pressure based on how you are responding. It’s not that my technique isn’t going deep, it’s that going deep doesn’t have to hurt or be uncomfortable, it can be slow and soothing.
