Why would some releases be painful?

There’s a saying ‘No Pain, No Gain’.

This is not necessarily true. Some manual therapy releases [treatments] we do at Youngify are not at all painful.

But, some people have built up strain in some parts of their bodies that has built up over a long period of time. Some people have strain build up in a short time with a traumatic accident. These body parts, such as muscles and joints, can be very painful to touch even with light pressure.

It is actually the nervous system that is irritated by the build-up of strain in a body part. This strain can be ‘released’ (treatment) and the nervous system calmed down with sensitive and specific types of manual therapy that we do at Youngify.
