I am now totally against being extremely aggressive- and even in clinic practice, I never saw the value to being over aggressive. It's the patient that leaves the clinic in agony, not the therapist. There is no literature or evidence to say this aggressive approach results in more desired outcomes. I do feel that you have to shove gently- push to your limit but then a bit further. For those that have a low or poor pain tolerance, you have to push through.
