Here are some of my thoughts about "Deep Tissue Massage" and how that terminology is misleading to everybody involved- Clients, Patients, Therapists, Spa Owners, Medical Professionals and more.
Long story short, any kind of bodywork- massage, stretching, reflexology, or movement training should be within Your tolerance and boundaries of comfort as a client or patient being treated. Just because you might be able to survive a session of torture, doesn't mean that's the best way to get your body to move or perform at it's best. Look for a therapist or trainer who understands that. Don't give your hard earned money to someone who doesn't apply appropriate levels of pressure to accommodate what's going on in Your Body on that day. Look for a professional who uses his brain as much as his brute strength.
