What to expect:
-
Warm-Up Phase: Your therapist will begin by lightly warming up the surface muscles using classic gliding strokes and oil.
-
Targeted Work: The therapist will use their fingers, knuckles, forearms, and elbows to apply sustained, deep pressure along the grain of the muscle fibers.
-
The "Good Hurt": Because of the intensity, the sensation is often described as an intense "good hurt." While it should feel remedial, always communicate with your therapist if the pressure crosses into sharp pain.
-
Soreness: It is very common to feel stiff, tender, or experience delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) for a day or two after your session.
-
Metabolic Flush: Toxins and metabolic waste are moved out of your tissues during the massage, which is why drinking plenty of water is highly recommended afterward.
-
Recovery: For maximum benefits, avoid strenuous workouts for at least 12 to 24 hours so your muscles have time to repair and adapt.
