FAQ'S

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective. It uses slow, firm pressure and techniques such as kneading and friction to target specific areas of tension and pain. Deep tissue massage can be helpful for chronic pain, injury recovery, and improving range of motion. It is not always a relaxing massage, but it can be very effective in releasing tension and promoting healing.

At HappyBod Therapy, the techniques are specifically designed to address the unique needs of individuals. While sports massage may cause some discomfort, it should not be overly painful. I use a combination of deep tissue massage, stretching, and targeted pressure to address muscle tightness, soreness, and imbalances caused by physical activity. During the session, you may experience some discomfort as we work to release tension and improve flexibility, but it should not be unbearable. My goal is to help you recover from training, prevent injuries, and enhance performance in a way that is both effective and manageable. If you have any concerns about pain during your sports massage, please communicate openly with me so I can adjust the pressure and techniques to suit your needs. HappyBod Therapy is committed to providing a positive and beneficial experience for all my clients.

While it's generally recommended to take it easy and allow your body to rest and heal after a deep tissue massage, each individual's response to treatment may vary. It's important to listen to your body and gauge how you feel after the massage. If you experience soreness or tenderness, it's best to avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24-48 hours to give your muscles time to recover. However, light activities such as walking or gentle stretching can be beneficial to promote circulation and further relaxation. Ultimately, it's best to consult with your therapist at Happybod Therapy for personalized recommendations based on your specific needs and treatment plan.

At Happybod, our Deep Tissue Massage is specifically designed to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Unlike a regular massage, which focuses on relaxation and easing tension in the outer muscles, a Deep Tissue Massage aims to release chronic muscle tension and adhesions (knots) through slow, deliberate strokes and deep pressure. This type of massage can be especially beneficial for individuals dealing with chronic pain, muscle tightness, and injuries. Our skilled massage therapists are trained to effectively address these deeper issues, providing long-lasting relief and improved mobility.

Deep Tissue massage treatments typically last for 60 minutes. However, we also offer 90-minute sessions for those looking for a more extended treatment.

I recommend scheduling a deep tissue massage based on your individual needs and lifestyle. For those with chronic muscle tension or pain, weekly or bi-weekly sessions may be beneficial initially to address the underlying issues. Once progress is made, transitioning to a monthly maintenance schedule may be sufficient to keep muscles and connective tissues healthy and balanced. Ultimately, the frequency of deep tissue massage depends on your specific health goals, activity level, and response to treatment.
