It’s normal to feel some soreness after a deep tissue massage, as they can be quite intense. Think of it as the same kind of pain you get after a hard workout! The treatment itself does involve high pressure being applied to your body, and there may be some discomfort - if it becomes too much, you can always let your therapist know.

However, it’s important to note that while soreness can be common, you shouldn’t be feeling any extreme pain post-massage. If this is the case, you should tell your therapist and your doctor too.

Massage etiquette is a thing - and it’s important for both you and your therapist. When you’re undergoing a treatment, you shouldn’t:

• Disrespect your therapists’ boundaries
• Be late and expect your full time
• Dress down while your therapist is still in the room
• Make excessive noise

A deep tissue massage uses slow, firm strokes and deep pressure to target the inner layers of muscle tissue and connective tissue. It is designed to break up scar tissue, relieve chronic muscle tension, and address musculoskeletal issues such as strains and sports injuries.
