Frequently Asked Questions
The best-known benefits of deep tissue massage are pain relief and tension reduction. However, you may also experience benefits like improved range of motion and flexibility, better sleep quality, lower blood pressure, and more.
While a deep tissue massage uses strokes similar to a regular massage, your therapist will apply the strokes with greater pressure. These sessions are meant to relieve major tension or aid recovery from muscular strain rather than deliver relaxation.
Clients who wish to achieve the maximum benefits of deep tissue massage may visit us about every three to six weeks. If you are receiving treatment for chronic pain, we may recommend scheduling sessions every one to two weeks initially and then spreading the appointment out as your pain reduces.
Since a deep tissue massage targets the innermost layers of your muscles to break tight knots, you may experience muscular aches after your session. You should avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours and drink plenty of water. If you feel sore, consider taking a warm bath with Epson salt.
