What it feels like

Most people describe strong, deep pressure that feels satisfying. On a tight area you feel it working for a few breaths, then the muscle softens and the pressure feels easier.

Finding the right pressure

The right pressure feels deep and releasing, and you can breathe slowly and stay relaxed through it. James checks in as he works so it stays right for you.

  • Rate the pressure from 1 to 10 and aim for 6 or 7
  • Breathe out slowly as pressure goes in
  • Ask for lighter or deeper at any time

How you feel afterwards

Most people feel looser and lighter afterwards, a little like after a good workout. Gentle walking, warmth and water help the tissue settle.

He spent time analysing my posture, looking for the sources of my problems, explaining to me how they are all linked, then gradually working on releasing the fascia in every single part of me.

Questions

How deep tissue massage feels: questions answered

What pressure works best?

Firm enough to feel deep and satisfying, while you can still breathe slowly and stay relaxed.

Why do some areas feel stronger?

Areas that work hardest hold the most tension, so they respond most to pressure.

Can I ask for lighter?

Yes, any time.
