Yes. Therapists begin with a thorough consultation to gauge comfort and medical history, then adjust pressure accordingly. Communicate preferences during the session; we can modify techniques to ensure safety and effectiveness while minimizing discomfort or excessive soreness after treatment.

Arrive hydrated and avoid heavy meals beforehand. Wear comfortable clothing and bring medical notes if applicable. Allow extra time for a pre-session consultation; this ensures therapists can plan focused work on chronic tension and personalize pressure levels.

Some soreness is normal, especially with deep pressure addressing chronic knots. Discomfort typically peaks within 24 hours and subsides in 48–72 hours. Hydration, rest, and gentle stretching speed recovery. Contact us if pain is severe or persists beyond a few days.

Therapy Massage focuses on deeper, targeted pressure to relieve chronic muscle tension and restore function, while relaxation massage emphasizes lighter, soothing strokes for stress reduction. Our 90-minute therapy session concentrates on problem areas with techniques tailored for lasting structural improvement.

Yes. The focused depth and duration allow therapists to work through persistent adhesions and trigger points in the neck and back, improving mobility and decreasing pain. Multiple sessions often produce the best, long-term results combined with recommended home care and stretching.

Certain conditions—like recent surgery, blood clots, uncontrolled hypertension, infectious skin disorders, or acute inflammation—may preclude deep pressure massage. Inform your therapist of medical history; they will assess suitability and may offer modified techniques or recommend physician clearance before treatment.
