This thread actually scares me. This sounds like a pretty dangerous massage...
(I am a Swedish massage student on a hiatus)
There are many different types of massage, so most are actually quite gentle, and any soreness experienced should be gone in a day or two and is generally quite mild. Just like any physical endeavor you should start out gently.
This sounds like the extreme sports version of a massage. I hope it is medically backed.
Edit: looking it up, it looks like what we would just call a deep tissue massage. Certainly not for everyone! I can't say I would ever personally touch deep tissue work like that. But then I'm not sure! I'm a small person though lol. I have a very light touch when I do massage. Everyone is so different. It's definitely important to find the right pressure for you!
