Is pain tolerance something that can be improved? When I get deep tissue, I squirm as soon as the RMT gets semi-deep. Am I missing out on benefits by having her back off?

Asked by Sue C over 11 years ago

Wow. I don't know the answer if pain tolerance can be improved. You stumped me!

I will explain my approach though. 

In a deep tissue treatment I will work to the client's level of discomfort but never pass that level to the pain threshold.  If I were working with you and you were squirming that would be a clear sign to back off.

Also, semi-deep is really subjective as every body's sensitivities to pain is different and can change depending on different areas being worked on.

 

I get erection and sometimes ejaculate when my therapist is working on my inner thighs and groin area. I do not think or have feelings about my therapist nor do I act inappropriately. What would my therapist think? its embarassing

Received a 1 hour Swedish massage. Noticed that therapist got an erection while I was on my stomach face down. He kept hitting my hand, while massaging my back that's how I could feel his erection. What are your thoughts?

For decades any attempt to massage the muscles along my spine makes me jump like being poked. What is this called? This happened before and after L2-S1 fusions and prior spondylolisthesis at L4-L5. Possible cause and treatment?

I am a woman and I want to try my next massage undraped. Do I need to ask my MT to be undraped or can I just choose to not cover myself with the sheet? My MT is a male. Also am I allowed to ask for my glutes and chest to be massaged?

Hi This is weird but I released sperm in a massage but she was fine about it and help me clean up. Is this normal?

To just "dumb it down" for lack of better wording... Is it clear to say trigger point therapy is the treatment of hyperirritable spots?
