Get answers to common questions about Deep Tissue Massage - 120 Mins.

In a 120-minute deep tissue session, therapist begins with assessment and warming strokes, then uses firm pressure, slow strokes, and focused techniques on problem areas. You may feel discomfort as adhesions release; therapists adjust pressure and recommend aftercare like hydration and gentle stretching.

Some discomfort is normal as therapists work deep layers, but pain should be tolerable. Communicate pressure preferences and any sharp pain immediately. Skilled therapists balance effectiveness with client comfort, modifying techniques or taking breaks to prevent excessive soreness.

Arrive hydrated and avoid heavy meals beforehand. Wear comfortable clothing and complete health intake forms. Share medical history, current medications, and problem areas with your therapist. Plan for light activity post-session and allow time to rest and rehydrate.

Mild to moderate soreness can last 24–72 hours as tissues recover. Use ice or heat, hydrate, and perform gentle stretches. If soreness persists beyond a few days or sharp pain occurs, contact your therapist or healthcare provider for follow-up.
