As with your sports massage, your therapist will communicate with you at all times to make sure that you are not in pain.  The suction can feel tight on the skin and in places where you may have particular muscle tension, they may feel uncomfortable, but they can be released immediately.  Most people find the sensation very effective and comfortable.
