Q1
Is deep tissue massage painful?
Though the deep tissue massage can cause rather unpleasant feelings within you at times, the soothing effects prevail. Your therapist is trying to avoid crossing the line of excessive trial on you and will play it close to your pain limits during the procedure.
Q2
Regarding the duration of the deep tissue massage session, for how long does it go on?
My recommended session of deep tissue massage usually lasts from 60 to 90 minutes. It provides enough time for the therapist to investigate and resolve any existing muscular problems and ensure a comfortable and healing pain-free session.
Q3
For whom the deep tissue massage is necessary?
This kind of massage amasses its reputation to its capabilities of stress and chronic pain reduction, which are then beneficial for people with these conditions.
Q4
How far apart or how often should I get a massage?
Sessions can be arranged and undertaken more often or less often since every person is different. Some of the sufferers may want the session every week to fix the problem immediately. Some may require only monthly sessions to sustain their mental health.
Q5
Are there any absolute contraindications or precautions that will warrant a massage therapist to avoid deep tissue massage?
While deep tissue massage is generally a safe modality when under the supervision of a doctor, for some people with recent trauma or certain medical conditions, it may not be a very effective approach, especially if it is performed during pregnancy. Your physician will be in a better place to inform you if massage therapy is safe for you, before starting.
Q6
What will I go through during a deep tissue massage attendance?
As a part of the deep tissue massage session, your therapist will employ specific techniques that work on eliminating the general muscular stress and discomfort. Sensations must be at bearable levels and your therapist must be constantly attentive to the signals that you are giving out to make sure you are never in any discomfort or harm.
Q7
How can I prepare for a deep tissue massage?
If you want to make your massage a success, try to have a glass of water before entering the massage room, inform your beauty professional of whatever bothers you, and plan to go early and turn up well-rested; peel off all the heavy clothing and put on something that lets you breathe freely and feel comfortable.
Q8
How does deep tissue massage differ from that of Swedish massage?
However, they share the common features regarding manual manipulation of the muscles and tissues, but they target and use different techniques. Swedish massage provides relaxation and improved circulation through gentle kneading, while typical deep tissue massage allows a particular release of pressure using focused pressure and specific approaches to treat muscle pain and tension.
