Massage should not be painful, but it can sometimes involve discomfort, especially in areas of tension or tightness. It's important to communicate with your massage therapist about your comfort level and preferences regarding pressure. While some techniques, such as deep tissue massage, may cause temporary discomfort, it should never be unbearable.

If you experience pain during a massage, be sure to speak up so your therapist can adjust the pressure or technique accordingly.
