It is critical that you communicate with your massage therapist if you find that the work causes too much discomfort. When your body is in pain, it will fight the work that the therapist is doing, and just cause more harm than good. It is important to make sure you work with a skilled massage therapist when receiving any bodywork, but especially deep tissue massage.
