Question 1

Is deep tissue massage painful?

Accepted Answer

Deep tissue massage uses more pressure than a relaxation massage and can be intense, particularly over knotted or tight areas. Most people feel some discomfort during treatment but significant relief afterwards. Always communicate with your therapist about pressure levels.

Question 2

How do I find deep tissue massage therapists near me?

Accepted Answer

Use Fresha to browse qualified deep tissue massage therapists near you. Filter by location, price and availability to find the right therapist and book instantly.

Question 3

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 4

Are deep tissue massages worth it?

Accepted Answer

This is entirely up to you. If you’ve experienced a deep tissue massage and felt the benefits, then you might decide it’s worth doing regularly - or even just the once so you could know what it’s like and if it’s something you’d be interested in again.

You might feel they aren’t for you, in which case you might be more interested in other types of massage treatment, including:
- Swedish massage
- Hot stone massage
- Thai massage
- Lymphatic massage
- Shiatsu massage

Question 5

Are there deep tissue massage providers open on Sunday near me?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a number of deep tissue massage providers are open on Sundays. Browse Fresha to find therapists near you with Sunday availability.

Question 6

What are the benefits of a deep tissue massage?

Accepted Answer

Deep tissue massage is effective for chronic pain, tight muscles, posture problems, sports recovery, and conditions like sciatica or fibromyalgia. It helps improve range of motion, reduce inflammation, and release deeply held muscle tension.

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.
