Considerations:



1. Many clients mistakenly believe that Deep Tissue massage should hurt, and pain will be instantly relieved. In reality, Deep Tissue massage should not hurt, though it might be uncomfortable in comparison to Swedish massage. You must tell your therapist if the pressure becomes to much to handle.

2. It's possible that you might feel some soreness the day after a Deep Tissue Massage; you may be able to avoid soreness by drinking sufficient water after a Deep Tissue Massage.

3. It's important to be realistic about what one Deep Tissue Massage can achieve. Many people think that if the therapist just pushes hard enough, they can get rid of all their knots in an hour. This just won't happen. In fact, undoing chronic knots and tension built up over a lifetime is best achieved with an integrated program that includes exercise, work on your posture and ways of moving, relaxation techniques and a regular program of massage.
