Oh my goodness the answer is yes!
Just because a massage is deep in pressure doesn't mean it's more effective. I always go for technique over pressure which is why finding an educated therapist is important. Going to deep can actually cause tissue damage and even spasms. You should never be uncomfortably jumping off the table because you think deep is best. Some of my clients simply like the deep pressure which is fine but it's always on the that "hurts so good" spectrum.
I hope this helps!

Hi there,
Our muscles are very reactive as they should be. If you were not very hydrated and it had been a while since your last massage yes It's very normal to be sore up to 2 or 3 days after your therapy. I actually had a massage yesterday and I'm feeling it when the back of a chair hits my back. If It's hurting "pretty bad" though your therapist may have gone to deep.
