What is deep tissue massage exactly?
Deep tissue massage, what is that? The technique is done with a lot of – mainly – deep pressure. The therapy aims to loosen up muscle knots or trigger points. More pressure will be applied on areas that feel sore and painful which will reduce tension and diminish blockades. This enables treatment of problems caused by bad posture, sports injuries, chronic tension caused by for instance stress, rheumatic complaints or muscle spasms. Bruises, skin rash or hernias will not be cured by deep tissue massage. Therefor it is always best to inform the masseur about any problems you might have and that you do not leave out any information. If you have any doubts about the treatment, we recommend that you contact your family doctor for advice.

So obviously you will feel some pain in that area. However, mostly you will find relieve by the massage and the discomfort will become less or will disappear altogether. So it is definitely worth it.
