There is no standard method - the treatment should be tailored to your specific needs, but all therapists will have their own individual styles too. Your therapist might begin lightly at first to warm up your muscles, before moving on to the areas of focus. This will involve deep pressure being applied slowly with hands, arms and elbows to release your contracted muscles and tissues.
The time it takes to complete the treatment can vary, but it will normally be between one and two hours. This could be daily, a few times a week, every month - whatever makes you feel comfortable.
Deep tissue massages offer a range of benefits, from improved circulation and blood pressure to better sleep and a healthier mind. However, there is currently very little evidence to directly link deep tissue massages to the breakdown of fat. If it makes you feel better both mentally and physically that can only help! Feeling slightly sick or dizzy after a massage, particularly a deep tissue massage that involves intense pressure on your body, is quite common.
The best way to remedy this and flush out those toxins is to stay hydrated, so make sure you drink a little water regularly before your massage and hydrate thoroughly afterwards!
