Frequently Asked Questions

Is deep tissue massage painful?
Deep tissue massage can involve firm pressure and some temporary discomfort, particularly around areas of significant tension. Treatment should always remain within a tolerable and comfortable level for you.
How often should I have a deep tissue massage?
There is no single schedule that suits everyone. Frequency depends entirely on your symptoms, activity levels, lifestyle, and individual goals.
Can deep tissue massage help with back tightness?
It may help relieve muscular tightness affecting the back. However, persistent or unexplained back pain should be clinically assessed to determine the most appropriate treatment.
What's the difference between deep tissue and sports massage?
Deep tissue massage focuses primarily on deeper muscular tension and soft tissues, while sports massage is generally more targeted towards the specific needs of active individuals, exercise performance, and athletic recovery.
Should I choose massage or physiotherapy?
For general muscular tightness, massage may be appropriate. For an acute injury, persistent pain, reduced movement, or recurring symptoms, a physiotherapy assessment may be more suitable.
