Deep Tissue

Service Description

Deep tissue is a type of massage therapy that targets the deeper layers of muscles, tension, and fascia. The massage therapist will use a combination of slow strokes to reach these deeper, which can help release chronic tension and muscle knots. During a deep tissue massage, the massage therapist may target specific muscles that are causing pain or discomfort. They will use a combination of slow strokes, deep finger pressure and friction to release the tension in the deeper layers of the muscles. Deep tissue massages use more focused and intense techniques than Traditional Swedish Massage does. The massage therapist will often use their elbows, forearms and knuckles to apply the deep pressure needed to reach the targeted muscle areas. The pressure used in deep tissue massage can be intense, and it is essential to communicate with the massage therapist to ensure you are comfortable and not in pain. It is vital to remember that deep tissue massage is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It is best to speak with a licensed massage therapist to determine if deep tissue massage is right for you and to discuss the best course of treatment based on your unique needs and goals.
