💆‍♂️ What to Expect in Your First Deep Tissue Massage with Maral

If you’re new to deep tissue massage, you might be unsure of what to expect — especially if you’re booking in San Diego with a healer like Maral. Don’t worry: we’ve broken it down so you feel fully informed, confident, and relaxed before your first session.

What Is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique that targets the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissue. Unlike Swedish massage, which uses light to medium pressure, deep tissue work focuses on releasing chronic muscle tension using slow strokes and firm pressure.

At Maral’s Healing Massage, each session is tailored to your body’s specific needs — whether you're dealing with pain, postural problems, or accumulated stress.

How to Prepare for Your First Visit

Here’s what you can do before your appointment:

• Stay hydrated – this helps your muscles respond better

• Avoid eating a large meal right before your session

• Wear loose, comfortable clothing

• Arrive early to fill out any intake forms and discuss your goals with Maral

During the Session

Expect firm but controlled pressure. Maral uses a variety of techniques, including:

• Slow, focused strokes along tight muscle fibers

• Cross-fiber friction to break up adhesions and knots

• Guided breathwork to ease tension as pressure is applied

You may experience some "good pain" as tight areas release — this is normal. Always communicate your comfort level with Maral during the session.

Aftercare Tips

You may feel sore for 24–48 hours afterward, like after a workout. To maximize healing:

• Drink lots of water

• Gently stretch the treated areas

• Rest if you feel tired

• Avoid heavy workouts right away
