The short answer
Keep a quiet room with about two metres of floor space. Your therapist sets up a clean mat with sealed sheets in about four minutes, asks about pressure and health concerns, and keeps you draped throughout. Afterwards, drink water, rest, and take a warm shower when ready. Mild soreness for a day after deep tissue is normal.
