Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage involves applying firm pressure with focused attention on muscle knots and trigger points.

This massage style is especially beneficial for managing chronic tension and repetitive strain injuries, such as tennis elbow or carpal tunnel syndrome. Although it uses techniques similar to Swedish massage, it is performed at a slower pace with deeper pressure, targeting specific trouble spots.

Massage therapists may use their hands, elbows, forearms, knuckles, and fingertips to break down adhesions—rigid tissue bands that can cause pain, swelling, restricted movement, and reduced circulation.

• Stiff neck and upper back
• Lower back pain
• Tight legs
• Sore shoulders

Deep tissue massage helps to realign tissue layers, working on tendons, ligaments, and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, joints, and bones), in addition to the muscles themselves.
