A relaxation massage should not cause you pain, a Sports massage applies pressure to certain muscles to relieve tension that has built up, this may require deeper strokes to remove. I will explain what I am doing during the process and at any time if you are caused any discomfort please let me know. I will explain what technique I will use and advise you how to breath normally to minimise the pain. We all have a different levels of pain that we can bare please speak if you cannot stand the pressure I am applying.
