Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Deep Tissue Massage (60-mins).

Your therapist will use firm pressure and focused strokes, communicating about comfort. Expect deeper pressure, occasional discomfort as adhesions release, and attention to problem areas. Sessions include pre-assessment, targeted work, and post-care advice to maximize relief and recovery.

Some pressure and brief discomfort are normal as deep knots are released, but therapists adjust intensity. Communicate pain level during treatment; we’ll modify technique or pressure. Post-massage soreness for 24-48 hours can occur and typically subsides with rest and hydration.

Ideal for active people, athletes, and clients with chronic muscle tension, postural issues, or persistent pain. Effective for those needing deeper work to restore mobility, relieve stiffness, and prevent recurring injuries when combined with regular care and home stretching.

Arrive hydrated, avoid heavy meals before the session, and wear comfortable clothing. Inform therapist about medical history, recent injuries, and pain areas. Plan light activity afterward and follow post-care suggestions like hydration and gentle stretching.

Not recommended if you have recent surgeries, fractures, deep vein thrombosis, uncontrolled hypertension, severe osteoporosis, or certain skin conditions. Pregnant clients should consult their physician. Always disclose health issues during booking so therapists can adapt or recommend alternatives.

Drink plenty of water to flush toxins, apply heat to sore areas, and avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours. Use gentle stretches and follow therapist’s personalized tips. Mild soreness is normal; contact us if pain intensifies or persists beyond a couple days.
