There is nothing specific you will be required to do before a Deep Tissue Massage. However, you may be refused treatment if you are under the influence of alcohol/ drugs or have any contraindications to Massage.
Should I stretch before a massage?
Stretching is not necessary. However, some people stretch to help their muscles relax for the start of the session.
Are muscle knots dangerous?
Muscle knots are a signal from your body that your muscles are overworked. Unhealthy lifestyle habits such as stress, muscle injuries and poor posture contribute to knots. It is the root cause of the knots that can be deemed dangerous, not the knots themselves.
