✨Top 10 Massage Therapy FAQs✨
1. How often should I get a massage?
It depends on your goals. For chronic pain or tension, weekly or biweekly sessions can help. For maintenance and wellness, once a month is often enough.
2. Do I have to get fully undressed?
Not at all. You undress to your level of comfort, and you’ll always be draped professionally with only the area being worked on exposed.
3. Is massage painful?
Deep tissue massage may involve some discomfort as tight muscles are released, but it should never be unbearable. Always communicate with your therapist so the pressure stays at a healing level.
4. Will I feel sore afterward?
It’s common to feel mild soreness (like after a good workout) for a day or two, especially after a deep tissue session. This is a normal part of the healing process.
5. What should I do after my massage?
Drink water, rest, and give your body time to adjust. Gentle stretching or light movement can help your muscles settle.
6. Can massage help with chronic pain?
Yes. Regular deep tissue massage can help reduce chronic pain by improving circulation, breaking up adhesions, and releasing long held muscle tension.
7. How long is a typical session?
Sessions usually last 60–90 minutes, but shorter or longer options may be available depending on your needs.
8. What are the main benefits of deep tissue massage?
Reduced pain and tension, improved mobility, faster recovery from workouts, stress relief, and better overall balance in the body.
9. What if I have a medical condition?
Always let your therapist know about any health concerns. In many cases, massage can be adapted safely, but sometimes a doctor’s approval is recommended.
10. Can massage replace medical treatment?
Massage is complementary care. It can greatly support healing and wellness, but it does not replace professional medical treatment when needed.
