@domesticblisters: Replying to @🤷🏼‍♀️ I probably spoke up verbally four or five times during the entire massage and he was responsive to it but only for that one moment. Sometimes I would OK the pressure but then he would hold at that pressure for so long it became painful. It was just such a weird experience uncomfortable experience ##strugglecare##MentalHealth##massagetherapy

We learn in MT school to listen to the clients’ words AND bodies. If someone is wincing, or muscles are tensing with our touch… we need to back off

as MT's we are not supposed to try to pop backs/joints it's outside our scope of practice. if it happens as the muscles relax, that's OK.

my tolerance for massage pressure is a lot lower than baseline. I have to tell them in the beginning and often have to remind

When I was a baby massage therapist I did this when I had trouble keeping present; I thought I was listening, but my brain would slip into autopilot.

You need to tell him/his manager. He could seriously injure someone

His default was not your default. I had a MT hit a nerve or something that triggered my gag reflex. It was awful. Haven’t had a massage since.

So the kindest thing you could do, is send him honest feedback. Sounds like he's a nice guy whose trying, but needs a bit more practice and direction.

I have a dental hygienist who is SO heavy handed. It hurts so bad. I don’t think he realizes how rough he is 😭

naturally skilled intuitive MT should have very good touch awareness before you need to say anything, but never be scared to speak up ❤️

I am so sorry that you had this experience. It is his job to adjust to your feedback and incorporate it or clarify in moving forward.

I stopped using male MTs because they were uniformly too rough. I had to use one the last time I went and I was in pain for days.

In the meantime - Would a hot bath help?

I had an MT that popped my neck in August without telling me ahead of time, and I haven’t been the same since. You’re not alone.

I have a hard time with massages because of my fibromyalgia & it hurts if they don’t do it gently

I don't get men & have to tell folks in advan e to go slow & light. It takes me time to trust you won't hurt me. My muscles are very sensitive.🥺

please call the spa and let them know. It sounds like he's stuck in his way of doing massage, it happens, however...

During MT school I got a massage from a "professional", and I came home in pain looking like a cat attacked my back. I too spoke up but it didn't help

It sounds like maybe he's new? If you feel up for it you could reach out, call out the awkward (I felt too awkward to say anything at the time) and

Idk why but this reminds me of the first time I went to a male tattoo artist. It was insane how heavy handed he was vs woman tattoo artists lol
