10 years is a long time to see how things shift and change. I know I am not perfect and fall or have fallen into some of these things I hate. I am glad I have grown from my time as well. Here is the deeper details
The amount of pressure is dependent on a few things. The main one being what the client wants and can handle. Bodies are going to vary, hour by hour even. There is also the modality or style of massage. Philosophy of the creator of that style, what the therapist is good at and they like.
There will always be a modality that is trendy. You never need to bash a style just because you don’t like it.
STOP MAKING FUN OF YOUR CLIENTS! You might see it as jokes about pressure or things you see every day, sounds and types of clients. Out yourself there, do you want to be laughed at because you felt safe to sleep and snore?
You don’t need to be offended at other people who don’t like your style or what you do. You also don’t need to mock them either.
