Some therapies may involve some pain, but in this case I think the therapist was over the top; some minor swelling/redness - maybe - but there shouldn't have been any bruising.

Sounds like the therapist got a little too enthusiastic. I think it's worth reporting and proceed from there. Your feedback should be as constant as is necessary. If she kept things up or went back to being too rough, you need to be adamant. If necessary, ask for another therapist right then & there.
