You’ll receive a full assessment followed by targeted pressure and release techniques on tight muscles. Therapists use slow, focused strokes, occasional stretching, and pauses to allow tissue release. Two hours permit comprehensive work and time for discussion and aftercare advice.

Some pressure and brief discomfort are normal as tight bands release, but therapists adjust intensity to your tolerance. You may feel aching or dull soreness that eases within hours to days; regular sessions reduce discomfort and improve tolerance.

Wear comfortable, loose clothing and eat lightly beforehand. Arrive hydrated and bring any relevant medical history or notes about pain patterns. Expect to discuss goals at the start so the therapist can prioritize areas and plan the two-hour focused session effectively.

Contraindications include acute infections, deep vein thrombosis, uncontrolled hypertension, recent fractures, or open wounds. Inform your therapist about medications, pregnancy, or major health conditions. They will modify or defer treatment to ensure safety and recommend alternatives when necessary.

Initial plans often recommend weekly or biweekly sessions for several weeks to break chronic patterns, then spacing sessions based on progress. Your therapist will customize frequency according to pain levels, lifestyle, and response to treatment for long-term maintenance.

Hydrate, rest, and apply gentle stretching or prescribed exercises to support releases. Use heat or cold for comfort as advised. Avoid intense activity for 24 hours and track changes; report persistent or worsening pain to your therapist promptly.
