UNDERSTANDING DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

What Is Deep Tissue Massage?

Focused work for areas of persistent muscle tension and tightness.

Deep Tissue Massage uses slower, firmer and more focused pressure to address areas of muscle tension that may not respond to lighter relaxation massage.

Rather than simply applying more pressure everywhere, your Massage Therapist works gradually and intentionally, concentrating on specific areas where muscles feel tight, overworked or restricted.

Techniques may include slow strokes, sustained pressure and focused work using the hands, fingers, forearms or elbows, depending on the area being treated and your individual comfort level.

Deep Tissue Massage can feel more intense than a traditional relaxation massage, but deeper pressure should still remain within a comfortable and manageable range. Communication with your Massage Therapist is an important part of the session so pressure can be adjusted throughout your massage.

YOUR COMFORT MATTERS

Deep Pressure Should Still Be Personalized

Deep Tissue Massage is not about using the greatest amount of pressure possible. The goal is focused, therapeutic work that matches your needs, preferences and tolerance.

IS DEEP TISSUE RIGHT FOR YOU?

Who Is Deep Tissue Massage For?

Deep Tissue Massage may be a good choice if you prefer firmer pressure or have areas of persistent muscle tension that need more focused attention.

Some clients choose Deep Tissue Massage because of the physical demands of work, exercise or everyday activity. Others simply prefer a slower, firmer style of massage rather than a lighter relaxation-focused session.

Your Massage Therapist can adjust the session based on your goals, pressure preferences and the areas you would like addressed.

PERSONALIZED PRESSURE

Deep Does Not Mean Maximum Pressure

A Deep Tissue session should still be customized to you. More pressure is not automatically better. Your therapist can increase, decrease or redirect pressure throughout the session.

PERSISTENT TENSION

Tight or Overworked Muscles

For clients who regularly notice areas of muscle tightness that may benefit from slower, more focused massage work.

ACTIVE LIFESTYLE

Athletes & Active Clients

A strong option for people whose exercise, training or recreational activities leave muscles feeling tight or overworked.

PHYSICAL DEMANDS

Work-Related Muscle Tension

Helpful for clients whose jobs involve lifting, repetitive movement, prolonged standing or other physically demanding activity.

POSTURAL TENSION

Desk & Repetitive Positions

For clients who experience muscle tightness after extended sitting, computer work or repetitive daily positions.

PRESSURE PREFERENCE

Clients Who Prefer Firm Pressure

Some clients simply prefer the sensation and focused nature of a firmer massage experience.

TARGETED CARE

Multiple Areas of Tension

Longer Deep Tissue sessions allow your therapist additional time to address more than one area during the same appointment.
