Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Deep Tissue Massage.

Sessions typically run 60 or 90 minutes, depending on your needs. Initial consultations at Thai Star Massage may require extra time to assess problem areas and customize pressure levels for safe, effective treatment.

Deep Tissue Massage uses firm pressure and can cause temporary discomfort, especially around knots. Therapists at Thai Star communicate with you to adjust intensity and minimize pain while achieving therapeutic release.

Most clients see improvement after three to six sessions, though chronic conditions may need ongoing care. Your therapist will recommend a personalized plan based on pain severity, goals, and response to treatments.

Mild soreness, bruising, or fatigue is common for 24 to 72 hours after treatment. Drinking water, resting, and gentle stretching help recovery. Notify therapists at Thai Star if you experience severe pain or prolonged symptoms.

Pregnant clients should consult their healthcare provider before receiving Deep Tissue Massage. Thai Star offers prenatal massage options; deep pressure over the abdomen and certain points is avoided during pregnancy for safety.

Avoid intense workouts immediately before a session so muscles are not overly tight. After treatment, choose light activity and hydration; wait 24 hours before heavy exercise to allow tissues to settle and recover.
