Massage is one of the oldest healing practices in the world, with the first recorded use as a treatment for pain dating back thousands of years. There are many different styles and varieties of massage and every practitioner has their own unique style, which makes it vitally important that you find the right practitioner to fit your needs.
I work with a focus on healing and treating underlying dysfunction in the muscle and connective tissue that leads to discomfort in the body. Does it hurt? People are often wary of massage therapy because they think it has to hurt to be effective, which is completely false. There are a few techniques that can cause pain, but with proper attention from the therapist there is often no need to employ such painful techniques.
When these techniques are necessary they should be used minimally and with proper communication. There should never be more than a "good hurt" when deeper pressure is being used as it can trigger defense mechanisms in the body making the work ineffective.
