Best Deep Tissue Massage Portsmouth

Q: What happens when you get a deep tissue massage?

When you get a Deep Tissue Massage, you can expect the following: Consultation: Your therapist will discuss your goals, areas of concern, and any medical history that may affect the treatment. Preparation: You'll typically lie on a massage table, and the therapist will use massage oil or lotion to reduce friction on your skin. Techniques: The therapist will use deliberate, firm pressure and slow strokes to access deep muscle layers. They may use their forearms, elbows, knuckles, and thumbs to target specific areas of tension. Communication: It's important to communicate with your therapist throughout the session. If the pressure is too intense or if you experience discomfort, let your therapist know. Sensation: You may experience some discomfort during the massage, especially if there are tight or tense muscles. However, it should not be painful. You should feel relief and relaxation as the session progresses. Post-Massage: After the massage, your therapist may recommend stretches or self-care techniques to maintain the benefits of the treatment. It's also essential to drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins.

Q: What is the difference between a deep tissue massage and a deep muscle massage?

Deep Tissue Massage and Deep Muscle Massage are often used interchangeably, but they typically refer to similar techniques. Both aim to address deep muscle tension and discomfort. The key difference is in terminology rather than the techniques used. The therapist may use various techniques, such as deep pressure, slow strokes, and targeted work, in both types of massages to access and release deep muscle tension.

Q: What should you not do after a deep tissue massage?

After a Deep Tissue Massage, it's essential to consider the following: Avoid Strenuous Activity: It's generally best to avoid intense physical activity immediately after a deep tissue massage. Allow your body time to recover and benefit from the treatment. Stay Hydrated: Drinking water helps flush out toxins released during the massage and prevents dehydration. Rest: Give yourself some time to relax and unwind after the massage. Resting can enhance the benefits of the treatment. Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: Refrain from consuming alcohol or caffeine immediately after the massage, as they can dehydrate you and counteract the relaxation effects. Listen to Your Body: If you experience any unusual or severe discomfort after the massage, contact your therapist or healthcare provider. Follow Therapist's Recommendations: Your therapist may provide specific post-massage instructions based on your needs. It's crucial to follow their advice for optimal results.

Q: Do you take clothes off for deep tissue massage?

For a Deep Tissue Massage, you typically undress to your comfort level. Most people choose to leave their underwear on or wear specialized draping provided by the therapist. Your therapist will ensure that you are appropriately covered and only expose the areas they are working on. Your comfort and modesty are a top priority during the massage, and therapists are trained to provide a safe and professional experience.

Deep tissue massage is a rejuvenating massage technique typically used to alleviate aches and pains from exercise or musculoskeletal issues. Deep tissue massage benefits are wide-ranging but include bringing relief from muscle tightness, a sense of well-being and relaxation, increased circulations, and reduced inflammation. Deep tissue massage is a type of massage technique that uses deep pressure. Combining slow strokes and notable finger pressure, the purpose is to release the tension and tightness held deeply in your muscles and your connective tissues.

I am actually heading to see Georgia in the Recovery Room in about an hour. I have been attending monthly for quite a while now and find the sessions very useful. Georgia listens carefully and tailors each sessions to my physical needs. I would, and have, recommended this business.

I had the best deep tissue massage at The recovery room. Georgia was very friendly and professional, took time to understand my individual needs and gave advice following the treatment on stretches I could do to stop my back from getting so tight again. I wouldn't go anywhere else now - highly recommended!!

I’ve been coming here for over a year and I cannot recommend it enough. I have chronic neck & shoulder pain from bad posture/desk job and Georgia always is there to help and she knows exactly how to! She also gives tips on how to prevent it, and as I’m a medical doctor I like the fact that she doesn’t sell nonsense and has proper skills. She also helped me when I got injured after jogging. I spent many months searching for a good massage place and this is the best in Portsmouth.

I've been coming to the recovery room for about three years now, following a torn hamstring and requirement for rehab, the recovery room was great at catering for my needs.I've since continued to have routine sports massages to maintain my general health and wellbeing which has been great for my routine strength and conditioning regime.I'd certainly recommend the recovery room to anyone looking to improve their overall health or focus on specific areas!

The recovery room is the best! I had another wonderful appointment with Vikki where she guided me through a diagnosis, treatment and then some homework for my rehab. This lady knows her stuff, is so welcoming and friendly every time I see her. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I've been to The Recovery Room a couple of times for sports massage before and it has always been great.This time I went to see Georgia 2 months after a bike accident to help ease the tightness and stiffness in my legs and knee which took some impact from the fall.We spent some time discussing what happened, the injury I sustained plus what was currently happening and Georgia worked wonders and even sent me away with some homework!!I'll be back for another sports massage after my next physio appointment for sure ☺️

I booked in with Georgia for the first time as I had pain in my back and neck. She was brilliant throughout the whole treatment, from identifying the issues I was having to applying the right pressure and advising on some exercises to try at home. She knew exactly how ease the pain and I felt so much better afterwards. I would highly recommend
