Question 6

Does a deep tissue massage break up fat?

Accepted Answer

Deep tissue massages offer a range of benefits, from improved circulation and blood pressure to better sleep and a healthier mind. However, there is currently very little evidence to directly link deep tissue massages to the breakdown of fat.

That doesn’t mean a deep tissue massage, or any kind of massage, can’t be used as part of a well-rounded approach to weight loss. If it makes you feel better both mentally and physically that can only help!

Question 7

Why do i feel sick after a deep tissue massage

Accepted Answer

Feeling slightly sick or dizzy after a massage, particularly a deep tissue massage that involves intense pressure on your body, is quite common. It’s normally as a result of dehydration - a deep tissue massage releases toxins from your lymphatic system that build up under your skin. The best way to remedy this and flush out those toxins is to stay hydrated, so make sure you drink a little water regularly before your massage and hydrate thoroughly afterwards!

However remember, if you are feeling any severe discomfort, pain or sickness after your treatment, you should talk to a healthcare professional.
