If a client complains of hyperesthesia during the massage, what is the client experiencing?

Shooting pain
Swelling
Sensitivity to touch
Dehydration

Explanation

Answer: C Hyperesthesia is defined as sensitivity to touch. When a client is experiencing ticklishness or hyperesthesia during a massage, increasing the pressure and establishing a firmer touch often helps counteract the sensitivity response. Usually, after a few massage passes over the area, the sensitivity subsides and the tissue response normalizes.
