Is massage or deep tissue massage supposed to hurt?
Deep tissue massage is not supposed to feel painful when done correctly. Communicate with your therapist if feeling any pain during your massage. *Some deep tissue techniques may feel uncomfortable at times, but should not cross into a painful effect. Deep tissue should be preceded by relaxing and warming up the tissues before accessing the deeper layers or trigger points.
Am I supposed to disrobe for my massage?
You may or may not disrobe for your massage, as it is all up to your lcomfort level. You will be covered under a sheet during your session, while the area being worked on will be undraped. You may also lay on the table fully clothed if you wish, as work can still be done.
