I think it's therapist and patient dependent. My DH had it done and said it was terrible (and he has a very high tolerance for pain). He had bruising from it. I had it done, and thought it felt good (sort of like a really hard massage). I'd be at about a 2 for it to (on the IT band) - and no pain when it was done on my ankle. Now....the PT digging her elbow into my calf to break up adhesions. Yeah - that was painful.
