WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE?

When you book a deep tissue massage you’ll have a conversation with your massage therapist or you’ll fill out a questionnaire ahead of time. During this consultation, you’ll let your therapist know about the areas where you experience pain so that they can focus the massage on treating your problem areas.

After the consultation you’ll be asked to remove your clothing up to your level of comfort; however, the area that you want worked will have to be exposed. You’ll then lay under a towel and the massage therapist will come in and begin by using light massage to work the area. They’ll then move on to a deeper massage that uses long, firm strokes and movements to improve the circulation of the inner layers of your muscles.
