What is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep Tissue Massage is a therapeutic technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It uses slow, deliberate strokes and firm pressure to target chronic tension, tight muscles, and adhesions (knots). This type of massage is especially beneficial for those recovering from injuries, experiencing persistent pain, or dealing with postural imbalances. It helps increase mobility, improve circulation, and restore natural alignment in the body.
Deep tissue differs from lighter massage styles in its approach: we use forearms, elbows, and knuckles alongside hands to apply sustained pressure to reach fascia and deep muscle fibers. Sessions move more slowly than Swedish massage because we're working methodically through layers of tissue to break up adhesions and scar tissue.
