About "Rebound".

After a massage session, your muscle tension should be released. You may feel light, relaxed, refreshed, and clear. Those feelings are signs of improvement of blood circulation in your body. 

However, some people may feel sore and dull after the massage or next day. We call it “REBOUND”. It is not a bad sign, but it is actually good.  Your body has reacted to heal itself by sending blood to local area where you got rubbed on, but as a result, blood is accumulated in that area like inflammation. It will go away in few days and then, you will feel great afterwards. 

It often happens to a person who is sensitive to stimulation. It is most likely happening to a female customer in the neck area and front area of thighs.  We will take extra care of sensitive female customers regarding this pressure & "rebound".  

We wish none of our customers to get the rebound. We explain about it to the first time customer. If we feel you are sensitive to pain, we work with light pressure for the first session. We always adjust the presssure to your comfort level at any time.
