Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is deep tissue massage painful?
Deep tissue massage uses slower, more focused pressure to release tension in deeper layers of muscle. Some areas may feel more sensitive, especially where there is tightness, but the session should not be overly painful.
Pressure is always adjusted to your comfort level, ensuring an effective and supportive experience rather than discomfort.
2. How often should I come in?
This depends on your goals and level of tension. For chronic pain or ongoing tightness, weekly or biweekly sessions may be beneficial at first. For maintenance and general wellness, many clients choose to come in once a month.
Your therapist will help guide a schedule that best supports your body.

3. What is the difference between deep tissue and regular massage?
Deep tissue massage focuses on releasing chronic tension in deeper muscle layers using slower, targeted techniques. A regular relaxation massage is typically lighter and focused more on overall stress relief.
At Dragonfly Aura, each session is personalized and may combine techniques depending on your needs.
​
3. Will I feel sore after a deep tissue massage?
Some mild soreness can occur after a deep tissue session, especially if there is significant tension being released. This is a normal response and usually resolves within a day or two.
Drinking water and allowing your body to rest can help support recovery.
