Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Deep Tissue Massage (90-mins).

Some discomfort is normal when therapists work deep muscle layers, but pressure is adjusted to your tolerance. Expect focused, firm techniques, brief soreness afterward, and guidance on aftercare and stretches to ease recovery and maximize benefits.

Ideal for clients with chronic tightness, athletes, desk-workers with postural strain, or anyone needing comprehensive therapeutic intervention. We assess health history and customize techniques to address specific pain patterns safely.

Deep tissue uses slower, targeted pressure to reach deeper muscle layers and adhesions, while Swedish emphasizes lighter, rhythmic strokes for relaxation. The 90-minute deep session allows thorough work across multiple areas for lasting therapeutic effect.

Frequency depends on your condition: weekly or biweekly for acute issues, then monthly for maintenance. Your therapist will recommend a plan based on pain severity, recovery progress, and lifestyle to ensure safe, effective outcomes.

Not recommended with recent surgery, blood clots, uncontrolled high blood pressure, open wounds, or acute inflammation. Always disclose medical history, medications, and pregnancy so we can modify treatment or suggest alternatives.

Arrive hydrated, avoid heavy meals, and wear comfortable clothing. Complete intake forms and share pain areas or health concerns. Plan light activity afterward, and follow therapist aftercare advice for best recovery and results.
