Some discomfort during the session is normal — and a certain level of intensity is actually important for the treatment to be clinically effective. Most patients describe it as a strong, deep pressure or a dull aching sensation. We use a gradual ramp-up approach so your body can adjust to the treatment, and we can modify the intensity if needed. Any discomfort typically settles quickly after the session. You may notice a bruised feeling in the treated area for a day or two afterwards, which we recommend managing with ice.
