The speed of the strokes will be slower than a regular massage and the duration will be about an hour and a half, depending on the therapist and how much you pay. You should tell the therapist as to where your trouble spots are like your neck, lower back or any specific area which is painful. The therapist will apply pressure there for extra relief and hold it for a few minutes.

Post Massage: After the massage it is good to soak in a tub of warm/hot water of with Epsom salts. Epsom salt draws the toxins out into the water and you will feel rested after the long massage and relax and get a complete benefit of the Deep Tissue Massage.
