Deep Tissue Massage is a massage in which the therapist goes slower with their massage strokes and more pressure is applied than would be applied in a Swedish Massage. I like to start clients with some Sports Massage first to help loosen the muscles and not have to go as deep so that the treatment feels more enjoyable. I also incorporate Swedish, cranial sacral, reflexology and shiatsu.


Can a deep tissue massage cause intestinal upset 2-3 days after the massage?

Probably not. Any intestinal disturbance would have occurred during the treatment session, if it occurred at all. Plus, deep tissue massage should never be performed on the intestines. That is outside the scope of deep tissue massage. However, if you suspect that there could be a problem, check with your massage therapist, a general practitioner, or go to the emergency room of your local hospital.
