You may have heard of, or even received, a deep tissue massage. However, many have only heard of this and haven’t actually experienced it. If you are thinking about getting a massage and trying to decide what kind of massage to get, this blog is to talk about the pros and cons of getting a deep tissue massage.
For instance, I first heard about deep tissue massages long before I tried one. The woman who told me about it was a co-worker who said she gets one every week and considers it to be a necessity, rather than a luxury.
Personally, I tried many different massage therapists and day spas through the years and have found that the way people give massages can vary dramatically.
For me, the first deep tissue massage I received, which I finally had years after my former co-worker told me it was the bee’s knees, and that I had only because she had recommended it so highly, did not turn out to be an experience I wanted to repeat because it hurt me a bit too much. In later years I had another deep tissue massage from a different massage therapist at a different day spa – and it was fantastic.
However, people’s preferences on the level of pressure they enjoy really does differ a lot, so you’ll want to think carefully about it when deciding what type of massage you want to experience.
