A deep tissue session generally uses slower, more focused pressure. The experience should be discussed with your therapist rather than assuming that stronger is always better.
Explain your preferences and point out sensitive areas. Pressure should remain within your comfort level, and you should feel able to request an adjustment.
Ask the provider about suitability if you have a recent injury or a medical condition. Massage is a wellness service and does not replace medical assessment or care.
