FAQ

Therapeutic massage doesn’t have to hurt—a session should feel productive above anything else. Deep tissue massage does often involve some level of discomfort as we work to break down restrictions and release knots. More intense bodywork can potentially bear more results, but not if you feel like jumping off the table. Don’t grin and bear it! You should communicate your preferences and needs before and especially during a session to make sure you’re receiving the level of intensity that feels right for you.

How often you get massage depends on your budget, schedule, and of course, your body’s needs. Many people schedule weekly or biweekly massage sessions. This is helpful if your issues are impacting your daily life or if you want to see progress quickly. It also allows your body to internalize the effects of deep tissue massage. You’ll feel the benefits of massage for weeks or even months after your appointment. So, even with longer gaps between sessions, deep tissue massage can still be effective. Some clients prefer monthly sessions for prevention or maintenance. These appointments address stress and tension in your body before they turn into bigger problems. Listening to your body and choosing the right frequency of massage can mean the difference in feeling your best.

Therapeutic and deep tissue massage are essentially interchangeable. They both describe a general category of body work that focuses on more than relaxation. They are different in that one generally specifies the goals while the other describes the techniques. Therapeutic massage broadly defines the bodywork goals of making noticeable, helpful change in the muscles and soft tissues of the body. Deep tissue massage categorizes several different, more intense techniques that break apart restrictions, release knots, and loosen tight muscles. In most cases, deep tissue techniques are integral to therapeutic results, so the terms are often used synonymously. However, sometimes therapeutic goals can call for lighter techniques and deep tissue bodywork can also be used for relaxation.
Release Stress with Deep Tissue Massage in Minneapolis
Deep tissue and therapeutic bodywork broadly focus on maximizing the effectiveness of massage on muscles and connective tissue. The body is a dynamic, interconnected system and these soft tissues can have wide reaching affects, affecting nerves, blood flow, pain responses, range of motion and so on. Deep tissue massage doesn’t mean heavy or hard or painful necessarily, and finding an ideal pressure that feels productive is a critical art in the work. More often what “deep” refers to is the precision and focus on specific structures that are causing distress.
Targeted Relief: A Specialized Approach to Pain Management
Focused therapeutic bodywork puts the issues that are affecting you most to the forefront. While we will work directly on those trouble spots, there are often connected muscles and soft tissues that are interacting with or even causing that pain. Pain can cascade through the body as different structures and muscles try to support weak points, restrictions and injuries. Using kinesiology to understand these structures, we can identify that origin, like following a series of dominoes, and the techniques needed to release it.
It can be surprising to feel tension or even pain in places you haven’t been aware of, but this is normal. The brain tends to block all but the worst of pain, which we can be thankful for on some level. When one knot releases, pain signals from other spots can start to become apparent. This can be a good sign of progress being made, even if those spots are jealous. At Sorcery Crush Massage, we specialize in providing effective deep tissue massage in Minneapolis to address your specific needs and alleviate pain.
