Can a masseuse feel tension?

Accepted Answer

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

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 5

What should I do after a deep tissue massage?

Accepted Answer

After your deep tissue massage, you’ll want to ensure you feel the full benefits and maximise your gains. It can be helpful to:
- Rest: After an intense massage session designed to relax your mind and body, the best thing to do is help yourself stay relaxed. Whether it’s having a nap or just putting your feet up in front of the telly, let yourself feel the effects of your deep tissue massage. Try and wait for at least 24 hours before any intense physical activity
- Eat and drink - but keep it light: While you should ideally avoid eating or drinking too much before the massage, afterwards you should definitely hydrate yourself. It’s also normal to feel peckish after a massage, so a light and nutritious meal can really hit the spot
- Have a bath: Nothing aids the relaxation process quite like a warm bath - and if you’re feeling it, treat yourself to some bubbles or a bath bomb to really indulge yourself. However you should avoid a hot bath or shower as this can aggravate inflammation. If you have an injury, it’s better to take a cold shower or bath for pain relief.

Question 6

What is a deep tissue massage?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

Can deep tissue massages cause damage?

Accepted Answer

You should talk to your doctor before having a deep tissue massage if:
- You take blood thinners or have a clotting or bleeding disorder
- You are undergoing treatment for recent surgery or chemotherapy
- You suffer from nerve damage
- You have any skin conditions
- You have wounds that haven’t healed completely 
- You have a hernia
