Subject: Should treatment be painful?

I recently came across a post that said…

“Psst…your massage shouldn’t cause you pain.”

Honestly, I think this conversation needs a little more nuance.

First, pain and discomfort are not always the same thing.

Sometimes, treatment can feel uncomfortable because your body is sensitive, tight, irritated, or protective. That doesn’t automatically mean something harmful is happening.

Think about things like exercise, stretching, getting a tattoo, or even deep pressure on a sore muscle. Those experiences can feel intense or uncomfortable, but they are not necessarily dangerous.

Our bodies often work through a simple process…

Challenge → Adapt → Recover

A good treatment sometimes gently challenges the system so the body can relax, adapt, and move better afterward.

That said, more discomfort does NOT mean better results.

There’s a big difference between

• tolerable therapeutic discomfort

and

• feeling unsafe, overwhelmed, or flared up afterward

Good treatment should feel controlled, respectful, and within your tolerance.

The goal is never “pain for pain’s sake.”

The goal is helping you move better, feel better, and create positive change afterward. :)

Though sometimes it may not seem like it 😀 I am always looking to return your brain to safety.

Have a great day.

Hi everyone, I'm away for a week or so, I will respond to any messages upon my return. 🌞🌞

When Frances came to me, she was suffering with chronic pain all over and had lost confidence in her body and feared walking. Over the time, we worked through her issues and and it's great to see her moving so well and smiling. What she hasn't said here is that she has also worked hard with her PT in the gym to regain her confidence and build strength and has taken responsibility for her health, and changed her story.
Well done, Frances. Keep up the great work.

😀

Good day, I've been so busy. I've not shared much recently sorry, here are a couple of reviews of some Rapid work. One on a long term knee issue and the other on the dreaded sciatica.

Have a great day
