Wahine, thanks for the links you posted to Mimi, they were excellent!
Mimi, thanks for posting on this topic!!!!!
With the soft version, you shouldn't feel much of anything. It's a correction technique, that might let your grumpy muscles relax and give any pelvic bones that might be hanging out in an awkward ("out of alignment") position a chance to gradually squirm their way back to where they belong.

It's dull and boring, like rocking a baby.

What you'll feel (if anything) is that after the soft shotgun your back might not be as sore, or your grumpy muscles might have relaxed.
