Deep Tissue Massage
Firm, focused pressure designed to reach the deepest layers of muscle and fascia, release chronic tension, and break down restrictive scar tissue.
Reach Deeper Layers
What is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep tissue massage focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue (fascia). It is especially helpful for chronic aches and pains and contracted areas such as a stiff neck, upper back, lower back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders.
Unlike traditional relaxation massage, deep tissue therapy applies sustained pressure using slow, deliberate strokes. This allows the therapist to physically break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and physically reduce rigid tension in the inner layers of your musculature.
The Benefits
How Deep Tissue Therapy Helps
This highly therapeutic modality is ideal for athletes recovering from strenuous training, individuals with physically demanding jobs, and anyone suffering from long-term, chronic pain patterns.
Relieves Chronic Tension
By bypassing the superficial muscles, we can address the deeply rooted, rigid tissue bands that cause persistent stiffness and chronic daily pain.
Breaks Up Scar Tissue
Deep, focused pressure helps to physically break down internal scar tissue and adhesions from old injuries, improving local circulation and restoring flexibility.
Improves Range of Motion
When deeper fascial restrictions are released, your body is no longer fighting itself to move. This leads to freer joint movement and a reduction in compensatory injuries.
Your Session
What to Expect During Treatment
Slower, Deliberate Pacing
Movements in deep tissue massage are slower than a traditional relaxation massage. This slower pace allows your therapist to safely and effectively sink into the deeper layers without triggering a defensive response from your nervous system.
Focused Pressure
Your therapist may use their knuckles, forearms, or elbows to apply sustained, deep pressure. While the pressure is intense, it should feel productive and relieving. Always communicate if the pressure feels too sharp.
Breathe Through It
Taking deep, even breaths during the most intense parts of the massage is crucial. Breathing oxygenates the muscles and actively signals your brain to allow the deep tissues to release rather than tense up.
Post-Massage Recovery
It is perfectly normal to feel some muscle soreness or tenderness for a day or two after a deep tissue session. Drinking plenty of water is essential to help flush out the metabolic waste that was released from the deep tissues.
