What It Actually Feels Like
The first session can be intense — real pressure on tissue that hasn't felt contact in years. That's expected, not a reason to stop. Soreness the next day is normal too: it means the tissue did real work. What you're feeling is your body waking up, not breaking down. The free course shows you exactly how to tell “strong and workable” from “back off,” so you're never guessing.
When It Becomes Something You Want
The goal isn't to white-knuckle a new habit. For me, around the two-month mark, something shifted: the deep pressure crossed over into that “it hurts, but feels good” feeling — the satisfying ache of working a knot out of a tight muscle — and I caught myself reaching for the balls on my own. I believe that once you feel that, staying with it takes no discipline at all; it becomes something you do for the rest of your life without thinking twice.
