Finding a gay therapeutic massage is not quite as hard as you may think, but let's start with some definitions. A "therapeutic massage" is a term for any type of massage approach that aims at reducing stress, relieving pain, and tackling certain issues such as headaches, muscle pain, or joint stiffness.
Most people think that therapeutic massage means they will receive a massage with very deep pressure - however, that’s not always the case.
The side effects of deep tissue massage vary from person to person, and it will be different for you based on what's happening with your body from day to day.
After receiving a massage, guys usually experience some muscle soreness for a while, especially if the therapist is giving you one with intense pressure. If they've been working your muscles, you'll probably feel that soreness as the toxins drain out of your system.
Remember: a gay therapeutic massage shouldn’t cause you horrible pain - and if something hurts, just tell your masseur, and he’ll back on the pressure. After the massage, you may feel disoriented and spaced out. This is perfectly natural. Just hang out in the massage space for 10 to 15 minutes until you start feeling better, before you hit the road.
If you are overwhelmed with the types of massage, you can read our article to help you find the one that’s right for you.
