What should it feel like?

Remedial Massage is a mixture of various pressure massage techniques. Most people think it is a No Pain mean No Gain. At certain times deep pressure through Deep Tissue Massage or Trigger Point is needed, a good therapist will not apply deep pain but a pain level which is acceptable by both the client and the body part worked on. David, will not give extreme pain but a level which the muscle/s require to relive the pain or discomfort. Generally the pain will never be more than 60 – 70% of what you can tolerate. In many cases it is a lot less using therapies like acupressure or mayo-facial release, which is more gentle. It might take a little longer, but the outcome is better than walking out feeling more soreness.

On saying this you can feel sore for a day or two afterwards and generally on the 2nd day start feeling much better. David’s aim is feeling better start after the treatment and improving as the day goes on.

In fact if there is a pain felt during the treatment, it’s getting that good pain feeling, just below that pain some will give.

Good pain, helps improve the problem quickly.

Remember this

A massage is to improve not increase pain and make the massage unbearable
Generally you will notice a difference (even small afterwards) but may take 2 days to fully improve
Bruising is not good in massage, David works at a level that improves you
Try not to guard or resist the treatment, the more relaxed you are the quicker the treatment

Massage is a great way to help the body at optimum condition

Communication

It is important to talk to your therapist and let them know how you are feeling, especially during the sore part. The therapist will talk to you and ask how you feel, it is better to let the therapist know than to put up with it.

After the Massage

It is best to drink a glass of water every 2 hours for the remainder of the day, of course a big drink is good, but if you drink that 1 glass every two hours it will help to hydrate, improve blood flow and rid toxins from the massage.
