Common Questions About These Massages
Answers to common questions about Swedish, deep tissue, and sports massage treatments.
For pure relaxation, Swedish massage is ideal. Its long, flowing strokes soothe the nervous system and reduce stress. A 60-minute Swedish session typically provides deep relaxation; 90 minute sessions offer fuller body focus and longer restorative benefits.
Swedish massage emphasizes light-to-medium pressure with long strokes for circulation and relaxation. Deep tissue uses slower, deeper pressure to release chronic muscle tension and adhesions. Sports massage incorporates both plus stretching and injury-specific techniques to support athletic performance and recovery.
Yes. Sports massage helps prevent injuries, improve flexibility, and speed recovery when tailored to your sport. Pre-event sessions mobilize and warm muscles; post-event work reduces soreness and promotes circulation. Our therapists design protocols based on your activity and goals.
A 60-minute Swedish or deep tissue session begins with a brief intake and targeted assessment. The therapist focuses on priority areas, balancing full-body and focused work. Pressure and techniques are adjusted throughout, and you’ll receive aftercare tips to maximize results.
Frequency depends on your needs. For chronic pain or injury rehab, weekly sessions are common initially. For maintenance and stress relief, every two to four weeks often suffices. Athletes may schedule sessions around training cycles or events for optimal performance.
Some soreness is normal after deep tissue or intense sports work, especially when breaking up adhesions. Expect mild, temporary discomfort for 24 to 72 hours. Hydration, gentle movement, and rest help recovery; contact us if pain is severe or persists longer.
