Deep Tissue Massage in Limerick
At Limerick Physio Rooms, we view Deep Tissue Massage as a preventive tool, helping you avoid the need for more intensive physio treatments in Limerick. Regular massages keep your body in good working order and allow us to spot potential issues before they develop into injuries. Much like servicing a car to prevent breakdowns, regular Deep Tissue Massage reduces the risk of injury and can include exercises to protect your body.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Deep Tissue Massage Hurt?
Everyone’s tolerance to pressure is different, and some discomfort is normal, especially in tight areas or after heavy physical activity. However, Deep Tissue Massage should never be painful.
Your therapist will adjust pressure based on your feedback throughout the session. To get the best results:
- Stay hydrated before and after your massage
- Engage in light activity to maintain muscle mobility
What are the Precautions and Contraindications?
Before a massage, we will ask about your general health to ensure your safety. Deep Tissue Massage cannot be performed in the following cases:
- Rash, open wounds, bruises, varicose veins, hernia, or tumour
- Immediately after surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation treatment
- Directly after a heavy meal
Certain conditions require doctor clearance before massage:
- Pregnancy: Deep Tissue Massage may be too intense; lighter massage can be adapted, with doctor clearance recommended
- Osteoporosis: Lighter massage recommended, with doctor approval
- Heart conditions or blood pressure issues: Clearance from a doctor is essential
If you are unsure whether massage is suitable, contact us at Limerick Physio Rooms. You can also book a Free Consultation for Massage to discuss treatment and determine if it is safe for you.
What Should I Wear?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing so it is easy to expose the areas being treated. You only need to remove clothing you are comfortable with.
At Limerick Physio Rooms, we prioritise your dignity and comfort at every session.
What Should I Do After the Massage?
It is normal to feel lightheaded or slightly tired after a Deep Tissue Massage. To support recovery:
- Drink plenty of water to rehydrate muscles and flush out toxins
- Avoid strenuous activity immediately after your session
Regular Deep Tissue Massage, combined with other physio treatments in Limerick, can help you maintain flexibility, prevent injuries, and support your overall health and wellbeing.
