Deep Tissue Massage
What is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep tissue massage is a focused therapy targeting deeper muscle layers and connective tissues.
By using strong pressure and intentional movements, this technique works to relieve persistent tension, reduce pain, and improve range of motion. Therapists employ methods such as firm finger pressure and friction to concentrate on areas of discomfort, targeting knots and encouraging the relaxation of tight muscles.
How Does It Work?
The process begins with a gentle warm-up to relax your muscles, often incorporating soothing techniques like light strokes (effleurage). From there, we transition to deeper work, applying firm pressure with fingers, elbows, and forearms to target areas of tension. Techniques such as “stripping” and “friction” are used to break down muscle knots and alleviate tightness.
Throughout the session, open communication is encouraged so you can share your comfort level and request any adjustments. After the massage, we provide practical self-care tips to help you maintain the benefits. Our goal is to support the relief of chronic tension and improve your overall well-being.
