What Our Clients Shares
Common questions
Q: Is deep tissue massage painful? A: It can involve firm pressure, but it should never be sharp or unbearable. We work within your comfort level throughout – always let your therapist know if you need them to adjust.
Q: What’s the difference between deep tissue and sports massage? A: Deep tissue focuses on releasing chronic tension in specific muscle layers. Sports massage adds assisted stretching, rhythmic rocking, and trigger point work – it’s better suited for active individuals and athletic recovery. Your therapist can help you choose at booking.
Q: How many sessions will I need? A: It depends on how long you’ve been carrying the issue. Many clients feel significant relief after 2–3 sessions. Chronic or long-standing pain often benefits from a regular monthly or bi-weekly rhythm.
Q: Can massage help after surgery or an accident? A: Yes, once your doctor has cleared you for bodywork. Massage can support recovery by improving circulation, reducing scar tissue buildup, and easing the compensatory tension your body develops around an injury.
