Start with your goal, not your pain tolerance
Therapeutic massage is planned around the areas and goals you want to discuss. Deep tissue generally describes slower, firmer work. The two can overlap: a therapeutic session does not always use deep pressure, and firm pressure is not a goal on its own.
Tell your therapist what matters
Explain where you notice tension, what you want from the appointment and what pressure feels comfortable. Share relevant health information in the clinic’s intake process. You do not have to choose every technique yourself.
You can change your mind
Consent is ongoing. Ask for lighter pressure, a different position, a pause or a stop. A treatment should not be something you endure because you think more pressure must be better.
