Does a sports massage in Goa hurt?
Sports massage in Goa can vary in intensity with the level of discomfort experienced: it can depend on an individual’s pain tolerance; the specific techniques and the areas being treated. It is important to develop a two-way communicative feedback system to understand more about the pressure and comfort level – then adjustments to the pressure can be made.
Sports massage in Goa can range from gentle and relaxing to deep and intense, depending on the goals of the session and specific needs. Whilst some discomfort or mild pain may be experienced, it shouldn’t be excessively painful or unbearable. It is important to note that this is a temporary response.
‘It is essential to work with a skilled and experienced therapists in Goa who can customise the treatment, attending to your specific needs whilst adjusting the pressure accordingly – but still providing an effective outcome.’
It is important to keep several things in mind when you visit a therapist:
- Keep your expectations real.
- It’s your body – be aware of how you are reacting.
- If improvements are taking place, you are on the right track and it may be worth continuing.
- If there is no / little improvement, consider a re-evaluation. A good therapist will refer you to other specialists if the problem is out of their remit.
- Wear comfortable loose fitting sports clothing (eg comfortable, loose running shorts) and avoid clothing that is too tight or restrictive as it may limit the therapist’s ability to access or work on specific areas.
