Get answers to common questions about Deep Tissue Massage - 120 Minutes.

Your therapist begins with a consultation to target chronic areas, using slow, firm strokes and focused pressure across deep muscle layers. You may feel intense pressure or brief discomfort; communication guides adjustments. Expect increased mobility and possible temporary soreness afterward.

Some pressure is normal because therapists work on tight fascia and muscle knots, but it should never be unbearable. Communicate openly so pressure can be adjusted. Mild soreness or achiness for 24-72 hours can occur as tissues release and heal.

Hydrate well, eat lightly, and arrive ten minutes early. Wear comfortable clothing and disclose medical history, medications, injuries, or recent surgeries. Avoid heavy exercise immediately before the session to allow your body to relax and maximize treatment effectiveness.

Avoid this treatment if you have recent fractures, deep vein thrombosis, open wounds, contagious skin conditions, uncontrolled hypertension, or acute inflammation. Pregnant clients should consult their healthcare provider first; modifications or alternative modalities may be recommended for safety.

Frequency depends on goals and severity: acute or chronic issues may benefit from weekly or biweekly sessions initially. For maintenance and overall wellness, many clients schedule monthly or every 3-4 weeks. Your therapist will create a personalized plan based on progress.

Drink plenty of water to flush toxins, rest, and avoid strenuous activity for 24-48 hours. Use gentle stretching, heat or ice as needed, and apply light massage for soreness. Contact your therapist if unusual pain or swelling occurs.
