How long should a first DTM take?
I had a new client today request an hours deep tissue massage and I explained to him that I would need to do a full consultation with him and advised him that an hours DTM may cause soreness the following day to all areas worked on, which could be from "head to toe". I advised that for his initial DTM he should have a 30 mins massage and gradually build up to a one hour DTM session to allow for his muscles to get used to the deeper techniques.
I have never given an hrs DTM due to the above principal and due to the fact that I would think that an hrs DTM would also be very labouring to the therapist???
Please can you share your ideas and views?
