Yes. Therapists adjust pressure to your comfort and will communicate throughout the session. Expect deeper work than a Swedish massage; if you're new, notify the therapist about pain tolerance, medical history, and areas to avoid.

Hydrate well and avoid heavy meals before your appointment. Wear comfortable clothing and arrive ten minutes early to complete health forms. Communicate injuries, recent surgeries, or sensitivities so the therapist can tailor pressure and techniques for safe, effective results.

Some discomfort can occur when therapists work through dense knots, but it should never be intolerable. We prioritize communication and adjust pressure based on feedback. Post-session soreness is common but typically subsides within 24 to 72 hours with rest and hydration.

Frequency depends on severity and goals. For chronic tension or athletic recovery, weekly or biweekly sessions may be recommended initially; transition to monthly maintenance as symptoms improve. Your therapist will suggest a personalized schedule during consultation.

Yes. Deep tissue massage is not advised for acute injuries, blood clots, infectious skin conditions, uncontrolled hypertension, or soon after surgery. Pregnant clients should seek pregnancy-safe alternatives. Always disclose medical history so we can determine safe, effective care.

You may feel relaxed but slightly sore for 24–72 hours as tissues adjust. Expect improved mobility and reduced tension. Drink plenty of water, avoid strenuous exercise that day, and apply heat or gentle stretching as recommended by your therapist to aid recovery.
