Depending on how tight your muscles are, the Range, formerly the Nuckle, can give that “hurts so good” type of feeling. Remember, happy muscles don’t hurt.
The goal of the Range is to provide direct and prolonged pressure to a tight muscle in your body. Once you find a tight spot, stay there for at least 90 seconds. Rubbing over that spot can irritate the muscle, and ultimately increase pain. Focus on taking some slow & controlled breaths to help the muscles relax under the pressure.
During the first 30 seconds, the pain may feel intense (especially if your muscles are tight). As you continue to take these deep breaths and relax, that pain should decrease as you approach 60 (and even 90 seconds) or more. That is the feeling of your muscles beginning to release!
If the pain has not decreased after 30 seconds, it may be an indication that you need to take a break, move the Range to a slightly different position, or modify your position to help reduce the pressure you are applying into the area.
