It feels more intense than a Swedish massage and some moments can be uncomfortable. It should never be painful: tell your therapist and they will ease off straight away.

Deep tissue FAQs
Will I be sore afterwards?
Some people feel a little tender for a day. Tell your therapist if the pressure is more than you want.
Can I have deep tissue on just my back and shoulders?
Yes. Say where you want the time spent when your therapist arrives.
Is deep tissue suitable in pregnancy?
Book a prenatal massage instead; it uses positions and pressure adapted for pregnancy.
