THE "HOW MUCH PRESSURE" PHENOMENON
The concept of deep tissue and deep muscle massage has pretty much gotten out of control within society. Many people do not understand what muscle therapy and muscle work really consists of.
Too many people believe that the harder the pressure the greater the results...... WRONG!
Deep Tissue is a technique by therapists used to get the deeper layers, that does not mean heavy amounts of pressure.
Some people even believe their therapist must not be making progress unless you feel something deep during your session.
To build your understanding
Muscle Tissue is many layers and each layer is constructed by many important parts that have their own unique purpose. Gently going through and conditioning each unique part within each layer is key to a healthy muscle. Healthy muscles won't have pain.
The amount of pressure will depend on the body's response that day and at that moment of palpation.
