What is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage is a specialized therapeutic technique that targets the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. Unlike a regular massage that focuses primarily on relaxation, this type of massage uses slower, more forceful strokes to address chronic muscle tension and pain. It’s particularly beneficial for those with sports-related injuries and chronic discomfort, as it’s designed to combat muscle and tendon injuries. By using the palms and fingers to manipulate your tissues, deep tissue massage provides a more intensive experience to relieve stiffness and persistent pain.

Tension can build up in the body for a variety of reasons, including stress, poor posture, and overuse of physical activities. Deep tissue massage helps to break down knots and improve your overall muscle function, promoting better circulation and reducing inflammation.

This holistic approach not only alleviates existing discomfort but also enhances the body’s natural healing process. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing pain, or simply want to improve your muscle health, regular deep tissue massage sessions can be a powerful, preventative tool.

Deep Tissue Massage FAQs

The frequency of deep tissue massages depends on your individual needs and specific health goals. If you’re suffering from an injury, we may recommend you schedule a deep tissue massage twice a week. However, our experienced massage therapists will create a customized treatment option that best suits your needs.

You may experience some discomfort during a deep tissue massage as pressure points are activated and knots are worked out. For optimal comfort, we always encourage clients to stay well-hydrated before and after their session. If you’re experiencing more pain than expected during your massage, please speak up and we’ll adjust the amount of pressure being applied.

Yes. The muscular system of the body is layered, meaning there are muscles that are superficial, and deeper muscles beneath those. Because the deeper muscles and fascial tissue between the layers hardly get worked on, it’s normal to experience some soreness following a deep tissue massage. However, this soreness should subside within 24 hours.
