- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
I often get requests for Deep Tissue Massage on the first session. Everyone has different tolerances with pressure and I ususally do not recommend it on the first session. For two reasons. The first is when you meet someone knew, reguardless of how good of a Massage therapist is, its the first time you are getting a massage from them. Some therapists pressure is stronger then others naturally. You may have a easier time relaxing when you know more what to expect and its the second session. If you get a deep tissue massage in the first session you will most likely feel sore after the session from your body not being used to it. Second, When someone is getting a massge for the first time, or when its been a few years since someone has had a massge, your body will need to get used to getting a massage again. If you are not used to being relaxed, and you are in a very high stress enviroment with work and such you may feel tired after the first few sessions. Usually after two sessions your body gets used to recieving Massge and the tiredness after the session is replaced by energy. The other thing that may happen is if you have very tight muscles and are looked to get deep tissue right away it may casue you to feel sore later on. To aviod any discomfort after a massage session its good to get a massage with out a lot of deep tissue first, and then after the first session the client knows what to expect and can relax into the session better and will be better ready for deep tissue. I am very careful with my clients, and during each session ask me how the pressure is, and if it is to much i can tailor it to their confort level. If you have extremely tight muscles, it takes a few sessions to retrain your muscles to let go.
