Frequently Asked Questions About Deep Tissue Massage
Common questions about our treatments and billing.
Will deep tissue massage hurt?
It should feel like a "good hurt," not sharp pain. Our RMTs in Colwood work within your personal tolerance level. We use slow, deep strokes to release tension without causing your body to "guard" or tense up. Communication is key—if the pressure is ever too much, let us know immediately, and we will adjust.
How is this different from a Swedish or Relaxation massage?
The main difference is the goal. Swedish Massage focuses on relaxation and increasing circulation using lighter strokes. Deep Tissue focuses on structural changes—breaking down scar tissue (adhesions) and releasing chronic knots that restrict your movement.
What conditions do you treat with deep tissue?
It is highly effective for chronic pain issues, including:
• "Tech Neck" and upper back tension from desk work.
• Lower back pain and sciatica.
• Sports injuries (IT band tightness, hamstring strains).
• Tennis Elbow and repetitive strain injuries.
How often should I get a deep tissue massage?
For acute pain or a specific injury, we typically recommend 3–4 sessions spaced 1–2 weeks apart to make structural changes. For maintenance and injury prevention (especially for active West Shore residents), once every 4–6 weeks is usually sufficient.
Is deep tissue massage covered by insurance?
Yes. At Sync Therapy, all deep tissue treatments are performed by Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs). This means they are covered by most extended health plans. We offer direct billing for Pacific Blue Cross, Canada Life, Sun Life, and more.
What should I expect after my appointment?
Some muscle soreness (similar to a post-workout feeling) is normal for 24–48 hours after a deep tissue session. This is a sign that the muscles are releasing toxins and realigning. Drinking plenty of water helps flush these metabolic wastes and reduce soreness.
