|---|---|---|
| Primary Goal | Therapeutic relief and muscle release | Relaxation and nervous system calming |
| Best Time | When you have specific pain or tension | When you want to unwind and de-stress |
| After Effects | May feel tender initially, then relief | Immediate relaxation, sleepy feeling |
| Frequency | Weekly for chronic issues, monthly maintenance | As often as desired for stress management |
| Communication | Important to speak up if too intense | Can request deeper pressure if desired |
Choose deep pressure if you have chronic tension, muscle knots, or need therapeutic work on specific problem areas.
Choose light touch if you want pure relaxation, have sensitive skin, or prefer a gentler experience.
Start with light touch to warm up, then request deeper pressure on problem areas—many clients prefer this mixed approach.

“Always thought I needed firm pressure to get any benefit. A 90-minute aromatherapy at medium pressure changed that — the sustained lighter contact was more effective for nervous system relaxation than anything firmer had been. Now I specify what I need rather than defaulting to hard.”
