Understanding the Balance of Pressure in Bodywork

Deep tissue massage does not necessarily equate to deep pressure, as the body may tense up when it feels unsafe. Proper body mechanics and understanding one’s therapeutic limits are crucial for effective treatments, emphasizing that discomfort can be beneficial but should never cross into pain. The importance of listening to one's body signals—through practices like stretching or exercising—is highlighted, as ignoring these can lead to long-term injuries. As illustrated by a client's experience, true relaxation and healing occur when interventions are applied gently, supporting the body’s natural responses rather than forcing them.
