What is deep tissue massage?
Deep tissue massage uses slow, firm pressure and targeted strokes to reach the deeper layers of muscle and fascia (the connective tissue around muscles). It is especially helpful for chronic tension and stubborn knots that do not respond to lighter work.
Key benefits
Releases chronic muscle tension
Reduces neck, shoulder, and lower-back pain
Breaks up adhesions and scar tissue
Speeds up recovery after intense training
Improves range of motion over time
What to expect during a session
The therapist will use forearms, knuckles, and elbows in addition to thumbs. Pressure is firm but should never be painful - communicate if a spot is too intense. Some soreness the next day is normal, similar to a workout.
Who it is for
Deep tissue is for people with chronic tension, athletes, desk workers with neck and shoulder pain, and anyone who has tried Swedish massage and wants something stronger.
