Does sports massage hurt ... ?

Some forms of massage are very superficial and can be very relaxing. A sports massage is applied deeper to manipulate muscle tissue more effectively. This can induce a deeper relaxation although at the time some techniques may border on the uncomfortable. However during the treatment the sports massage therapist will ask how the pressure is and gauge how the client reacts to deeper techniques in certain areas.
