You may feel firm pressure and brief discomfort as knots release; therapists communicate intensity and adjust pressure for comfort. Post-treatment soreness can occur for a day or two, but overall results and reduced tension are worth temporary discomfort.

Drink water, avoid heavy meals, and arrive early to review your medical history and focus areas. Wear comfortable clothes and discuss pain tolerance so the therapist can adjust pressure safely and effectively.

Many clients feel immediate relief in tightness and improved mobility, though deeper structural changes may take several sessions. A treatment plan will be recommended based on your goals, injury history, and response to therapy.

Mild soreness, bruising, or fatigue can occur, especially after intense work on tight areas. These effects typically resolve within 48 hours; apply heat, hydrate, and rest. Contact us if unusual pain, swelling, or prolonged symptoms occur.

Deep tissue uses slower, firmer strokes targeting deeper muscle layers and adhesions, while Swedish focuses on lighter, rhythmic techniques for relaxation. Choose deep tissue for chronic tension or sport-related issues, and Swedish for stress relief and gentle circulation improvement.

Frequency depends on condition and goals. For chronic tension, weekly or biweekly sessions often provide substantial improvement, then monthly maintenance. Your therapist will propose a personalized schedule based on progress, pain levels, and activity demands.
