Will it hurt?

How long will it be until I feel the results of a DT Massage?
It’s important to be realistic about what a deep tissue massage can achieve for you. It can take time to release tension from muscles, especially if the problem is chronic or long term. This is best achieved with an integrated program of massage or osteopathy coupled with appropriate exercise and or stretching techniques.
