What Happens When You Get a Deep Tissue Massage? (Hint: It’s More Than Just “Ouch!”)

14 Mar, 2025

So, you finally decided to book that deep tissue massage. Maybe your muscles feel like overcooked spaghetti tangled in knots, or perhaps your shoulders have been permanently glued to your ears from stress. Whatever the reason, you’re ready to experience some real relief. But what actually happens during a deep tissue massage? Let’s break it down.

Phase 1: “Oh, this feels nice…”

At first, everything is blissful. The therapist applies gentle pressure, warming up your muscles like a baker kneading dough. You start to think, This isn’t so bad! Why do people say deep tissue hurts?

Phase 2: “Ohhh, found the spot…”

And then it happens—the therapist zeroes in on those deep knots and tight spots, using slow, firm strokes. You suddenly remember every bad posture decision you’ve ever made. But here’s the good news: that “hurts-so-good” sensation means the therapist is working through tension, improving circulation, and increasing mobility.

Phase 3: “Did I just grow two inches taller?”

As your muscles relax, you feel looser, lighter, and maybe even taller. Deep tissue massage breaks down adhesions (fancy word for muscle knots) and releases built-up toxins, leaving you feeling refreshed and flexible—like a well-oiled machine.

The Aftermath: Hydration and Chill

Post-massage, you might feel a little sore (totally normal!), but drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins. By the next day, you’ll be moving with ease and wondering why you didn’t book this sooner.
