How does the Taoist principle of "going with the flow" apply to the application of massage and bodywork?

What will be an ideal response?

A complete response should include these concepts:
• "Going with the flow" means allowing and not resisting. This principle is important when applying pressure to the body.
• If you push into the muscle too forcefully or quickly, the body will resist.
• If you relax and allow the pressure to be accepted, there will be less resistance.
• By not creating resistance, you will be able to perform deeper and more effective therapy.
• "Going with the flow" means having patience with the therapeutic process and not pushing for results in therapy.
• If you try too hard to make a change in the client's body, there is a risk of overworking the body.
• Sometimes less is more.
• "Going with the flow" means working with the client's body, not against it.
• Therapy may have ups and downs. It is important to have patience with the natural course of the therapy and the healing process.
