Hello Barbara, Thanks for a great question! The answer is NO. Massage Therapy Treatment should never be uncomfortable however after a Deep Tissue Massage your body may feel a little tender. Everybody reacts slightly different. Deep Tissue Therapy is usually a gradual deepening of pressure as the soft tissue releases slowly. Too much pressure on tissue before it begins to release can be painful and counter productive.
