Incorporating deep tissue massage into your therapeutic massage will focus the energy of your Purrrfect Touch massage therapist on the deepest layers of muscle tissues, tendons, and surrounding areas. For individuals not accustomed to massage therapy, beginning with the amount of pressure necessary to reach these tissues may cause residual pain and bruising. Your massage therapist will discuss this option with you, and may assess your threshold of pain at key points during your massage to ensure that you receive maximum benefits.
For individuals that have never received a deep tissue massage it is unlikely that this would be their first massage therapy session, rather something they can progress towards. Your first sessions will deal with the outer layers of muscles, working to relax them using less pressure, hot stone therapy, and other modalities. This is so that residual sessions will allow for deeper muscle layers to be reached without causing further discomfort or pain. The key is to go as deep as your pain threshold will allow, without hurting you. After all, a massage should make your feel relaxed and relieve tension.
