Get answers to common questions about Deep Tissue Massage - 60 Mins.

A Deep Tissue session can feel intense as therapists apply firm pressure to break up adhesions. You may experience temporary discomfort, not sharp pain. We adjust pressure to your tolerance—communicate continuously. Post-treatment soreness is normal and typically subsides within 24–72 hours.

Arrive hydrated and avoid large meals immediately before your appointment. Wear comfortable clothing and arrive five to ten minutes early to complete intake forms. Share medical history, current medications, and any pain areas so the therapist at BH MASSAGE can tailor pressure and technique.

This treatment excels for chronic muscle tension, recurring knots, sports injuries, postural imbalances, sciatica referral patterns, and scar tissue restrictions. It’s a clinical choice for clients seeking measurable improvements in mobility, circulation, and sustained pain reduction.

Many clients notice immediate increased mobility and reduced tightness, while deeper changes develop over several sessions. Expect some soreness for 24–72 hours. For chronic issues, a short series (2–6 sessions) spaced weekly or biweekly often delivers lasting improvement.

Common side effects include temporary soreness, mild bruising, fatigue, and increased urination as circulation improves. Drink plenty of water and rest after treatment. Contact BH MASSAGE if you experience severe pain, prolonged swelling, fever, or unusual symptoms.

Yes — Deep Tissue combines well with physical therapy, corrective exercises, stretching, and modalities like heat or ultrasound when coordinated. Inform your therapist about other treatments. We’ll create a safe plan at BH MASSAGE to sequence therapies and avoid overworking inflamed tissue.
