Archie B. says, "Absolutely Life-Changing Experience – Highly Recommended! As a disabled combat veteran, I’ve dealt with chronic pain, injuries, and the lasting effects of service-related trauma for years. I’ve tried everything—traditional medicine, physical therapy, and countless treatments—but nothing has come close to the level of relief and healing I experienced with American Regenerative Bodywork Massage at Energy of Chi LLC/Transitions Healing Arts. From the moment I walked in, I felt a genuine sense of care, expertise, and understanding that is rare to find. This isn’t just a massage—it’s a holistic healing experience that truly addresses the root of the pain, not just the symptoms. The level of knowledge and skill in regenerative bodywork is unmatched, and the focus on energy alignment, deep tissue work, and personalized techniques made a massive difference in my mobility and overall well-being. The relief I felt after just one session was incredible—something I haven’t experienced in years. The techniques used are not only effective but also deeply restorative, bringing balance back to both the body and mind. I walked in feeling tense, stiff, and weighed down by pain, and I walked out feeling lighter, more mobile, and genuinely at peace. If you are dealing with chronic pain, recovering from injuries, or simply in need of deep healing, I wholeheartedly recommend their services. This is not just bodywork—it’s a transformative experience that every veteran, athlete, or anyone struggling with pain should try. I can’t say enough good things about it—book a session, and thank me later!" Read more

Your deep tissue massage questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.

How much does a deep tissue massage cost?

A deep tissue massage costs $80 to $120 per hour on average, depending on location and the therapist's experience. Rates are higher for in-home deep tissue massage, costing $100 to $130 per hour for the added convenience and reduced stress of not having to leave your home or deal with traffic.

  • Adding extras like aromatherapy or reflexology to your session increases the cost by $10 to $50+, depending on the service.
  • Most therapists offer a discounted rate when purchasing 5+ sessions at once.

What is a deep tissue massage?

A deep tissue massage involves firm pressure and slow, smooth strokes to sink deep into the layers of muscle and connective tissue. Rather than just focusing on relaxation like Swedish massage therapy, deep tissue massage aims to reduce chronic pain and stiffness by breaking down knots and adhesions that are restricting movement and causing tightness and discomfort.

Using their hands, forearm, elbow, or specially designed massage tools, the therapist may use one or several techniques during a deep tissue massage, including:

  • Myofascial release
  • Trigger point therapy
  • Cross-fiber friction
  • Muscle stripping

Does deep tissue massage hurt?

No, deep tissue massage should never hurt. While you may feel some soreness for a day or two after a massage, you should not feel pain during the massage. Always communicate with your therapist if you feel pain during the session. Experiencing pain during a massage can cause your muscles to tense and tighten more, resulting in the opposite effect that most people are seeking when they schedule a massage.

Can you get a deep tissue massage while pregnant?

Most doctors and therapists recommend avoiding deep tissue massage during pregnancy, especially deep pressure to the legs that could dislodge a blood clot. Prenatal Swedish massage using gentle pressure and avoiding the abdomen can help lower stress, decrease leg and back pain, and improve sleep and mood. However, be sure to discuss any type of massage with your doctor first to confirm it will not put you or your baby at risk.

How long should you wait in between deep tissue massages?

Most therapists recommend waiting at least 48 hours in between deep tissue massages, to allow the system to rebalance itself after such deep bodywork. A general scheduling guideline is to get a deep tissue massage once per month at minimum or up to 3 times per week to manage pain and stress, always leaving at least a 2-day gap between sessions.

How much do you tip for a deep tissue massage?

Tipping a deep tissue massage therapist 15% to 20% is common in most areas. You do not need to tip for a deep tissue massage at a medical office or hospital where the therapy is often covered by insurance. If your therapist works for a spa or non-medical setting, a good amount of what you pay goes to the facility, not the therapist. While tipping is not required, it can make a significant difference in a massage therapist's take-home income.

  • Most therapists prefer a cash tip so they don't have to wait for it in their paycheck.
  • If you are using a gift certificate or a coupon, calculate your tip based on the full price of the service.
  • Consider tipping more during the holidays if you see the same massage therapist regularly.

How do I choose the best deep tissue massage near me?

When researching deep tissue massage therapy services near you, be sure to:

  • Choose a licensed and insured company or therapist that has been in business for at least 5 years.
  • Confirm their licensing information. Most states have an online database where you can look up a therapist's license information and status.
  • If your state does not regulate massage therapy, look for a therapist specializing in deep tissue massage with at least 500 hours of training from a reputable massage therapy school.
  • Search for members of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP) or the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA).
  • Read their reviews on Google and Thervo.

What questions should I ask when searching for deep tissue massage therapist?

Ask these questions to help you choose the best deep tissue massage therapist near you:

  • What training and certifications do you have?
  • Are you licensed and insured?
  • How long have you been a massage therapist?
  • Will deep tissue massage help my specific problem?
  • What add-on services do you offer, and how much extra do they cost?
  • Do you require a health questionnaire?
  • Do you offer a discount if I buy several sessions in advance?

There was so many different things I liked about my massage therapist. First I will say he was very professional. He also was knowledgeable about massaging the muscles that needed attention. He was considerate in asking if he was massaging too hard or soft. I enjoyed my professional experience with my therapist. I give him 💯 Thank you so much and look forward to next session

First but definitely not the last massage. I have been in a lot of pain or quite some time now. Just been looking for the right massage therapist. Not only did I find somebody that will come to my house, but I also found somebody that really knows how to work on my muscles to get them stubborn things to relax. I was a little weary about having a man come to my house for the first time to give me a massage but he is very very professional polite and clean and even arrived a good few minutes early I think it was about 10-15 minutes early so if you were thinking or need a great massage therapist you definitely need to give him a shot you will not regret it not at all .I am so happy that I gave him a shot so now I can become a regular client and to top it off you will not find a better masseuse at a spa for his prices but it makes it even better that he comes to your house. So I definitely recommend everybody give him a shot you will be so happy that you did. Thank u so much and can't wait for our next session in about 2 weeks. 😊

Jeff is the BEST of THE BEST! He is polite, professional, follows safety protocols, always accommodating, and is extremely knowledgeable and experienced on how our bodies work. He will not disappoint. The amazing experiences each visit with a calm atmosphere, along with his attention to body work while giving clinical / therapeutic massages was a relaxing, yet an excellent treat for self care! I admire how he was able to promote healing with techniques and tools on previous injuries of mine and help restore my strength. I would highly recommend Jeff to others.
