A first session begins with a health intake form and brief discussion about your goals, problem areas, and any medical conditions. The therapist will leave the room while you undress to your comfort level and lie on the massage table under a sheet. During the session (typically 60 to 90 minutes), the therapist works on the areas discussed, adjusting pressure based on your feedback. You should speak up if the pressure is too much or too little. After the session, the therapist may recommend stretches, hydration, and a follow-up schedule. Mild soreness for a day or two after deep tissue work is normal.
