Deep Tissue Massage FAQs
Common questions about deep tissue massage therapy at Sync Therapy.
Is deep tissue massage painful?
Deep tissue massage may cause some discomfort, often described as a “good hurt,” especially in areas of chronic tension. However, it should never be excessively painful. Our therapists work within your comfort level and encourage open communication throughout the session.
How is deep tissue different from regular massage?
While relaxation massage (like Swedish) uses lighter pressure for general relaxation, deep tissue massage uses firmer pressure and slower strokes to target deeper layers of muscle and fascia (connective tissue). It’s specifically designed to address chronic pain, adhesions (knots), and restricted movement.
How often should I get a deep tissue massage?
The ideal frequency depends on your individual needs and goals. For chronic conditions, weekly or bi-weekly sessions may be beneficial initially. For maintenance or general wellness, monthly sessions might be sufficient. Your therapist will discuss a personalized recommendation with you.
What should I do after a deep tissue massage?
Drink plenty of water to help flush metabolic waste released from the tissues. Avoid strenuous activity for about 24 hours. Some mild soreness is normal, similar to after a workout; gentle stretching or applying ice/heat as recommended by your therapist can help.
Are your therapists registered?
Yes, all our therapists at Sync Therapy are Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) in British Columbia. They have completed extensive training and are licensed by the College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia (CMTBC).
Do you offer direct billing for insurance?
Yes, we offer direct billing for most major extended health insurance providers (like Pacific Blue Cross, Manulife, Sun Life, Canada Life, etc.). Please bring your insurance information to your first appointment. We also provide official receipts if you prefer to submit the claim yourself.
