Massage Therapist Questions Deep tissue massage

Do the effects of a deep tissue massage last longer?

I'm a 32 year old baseball player, and recently I had my first deep tissue massage. Do the effects of this massage last longer than other types?

No. You can get a massage to last longer if you let your body rest more, drink water, stretch, and go in regularly. Going in more often and taking care of your body will help the effects last 3-5 days sometimes.
No, effects of massage last longer with frequency and regular massage.
Very good question!
I don't believe so. The effects of a massage are very individual, I could do the same massage on 3 people and all of you have a different perspective. Do what feels good to you. To my knowledge there have not been any studies noting the difference in DT V.S. a lighter pressure and the effects as far as how long the relieve lasts. I would opt for a firm to deep massage more often then a deeper massage less often.
No it would just affect the deeper parts of the muscle but as soon as you go back to working out and moving the way you do, the muscles will tighten again and you’ll need another one
