@meltcouplesmassage: So you've found a knot on your partner's body, what do you do now? Press in and hold. This is not fancy but it's effective. Make sure that you don't press in deeper. Hold the same pressure. Stay consistent and let your partner experience the release. The pain will drop rapidly. You'l hear their breath calm down, you'll feel their shoulders relax. When this happens you've wont the massage game. This is exactly how the process works. Wash away pain with relaxation massage and start again.
