Question 1

How should I prepare for a 180 minute deep tissue session?

Accepted Answer

Avoid heavy meals, alcohol, and vigorous exercise before your appointment. Arrive early to complete intake and discuss goals with your therapist. Dress comfortably and communicate pressure preferences — a 180-minute session allows extended focused work on chronic tension and deeper layers.

Question 2

Will a 180 minute deep tissue massage be painful or uncomfortable?

Accepted Answer

Some discomfort is normal as therapists work deeper layers, but it shouldn't be intolerable. Tell your therapist if pain increases; they’ll adjust pressure or technique. Post-session soreness can occur but typically subsides in a day or two with hydration and rest.

Question 3

How often should I schedule a 180 minute deep tissue session?

Accepted Answer

For chronic issues, weekly or biweekly sessions initially can be effective, then taper to monthly maintenance. Your therapist will recommend frequency based on response, pain levels, and recovery. Longer sessions like 180 minutes are ideal for comprehensive treatment and lasting results.

Question 4

Are there any health conditions that prevent this 180 minute massage?

Accepted Answer

Certain conditions like uncontrolled high blood pressure, deep vein thrombosis, fever, contagious skin conditions, or recent major surgery may contraindicate a deep tissue session. Always disclose medical history and medications during intake so your therapist can determine safety and necessary modifications.

Question 5

What should I expect during the full 180 minute deep tissue?

Accepted Answer

You’ll start with an intake and positioning, followed by progressive warming, focused deep work on target areas, and longer integration time. Therapists alternate pressure and techniques to release adhesions. Expect breaks, feedback opportunities, and aftercare guidance for optimal recovery.

Question 6

How do I care for my body after a 180 minute deep tissue?

Accepted Answer

Hydrate well, rest, and apply gentle movement or light stretching to encourage circulation. Use heat or ice for soreness as recommended. Avoid intense workouts for 24 to 48 hours, and follow any personalized aftercare your therapist provides.
