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 3

What should you not do during a massage?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 4

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!

Yes, with Fresha you can book deep tissue massage appointments online 24/7. Browse therapists near you, pick a time and confirm instantly.

Question 6

How painful is a deep tissue massage?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

How often should you get a deep tissue massage?

Accepted Answer

There are no hard and fast rules on how often you should get a deep tissue massage - it’s more about what feels right for you and what provides the most benefits. This could be daily, a few times a week, every month - whatever makes you feel comfortable.

Remember you can always ask your therapist to recommend a treatment plan, as their expertise means they’ll know how to address the underlying issues you may be suffering from.
