What is a deep tissue massage?

Deep tissue massage is a specific type of massage that works on the deep layers of muscle and fascia in the body. Our therapist will use firmer pressure to reach your key areas and get them to release, which is why this particular massage is often recommended for people who are comfortable with a slightly more intense touch. However, deep tissue massage can also refer to gentle yet sustained pressure targeting the myofascial layer.

How does it work?

It involves long, flowing strokes that focus on realigning the muscle fibers in order to release tension and restore a sense of balance. This technique employs use of five basic strokes: effleurage, petrissage, friction, tapotement and vibration. By combining these motions with varying levels of pressure and circular movements, Swedish massage stimulates circulation throughout the body while also relieving stress. Furthermore, it can also reduce swelling related to injury and loosen stiff joints by manipulating muscles beneath the surface skin tissue. Swedish massage is an excellent choice for anyone looking to de-stress, relax their body and promote overall wellbeing.

What does it help with?

Deep tissue massage involves manipulating the deeper layers of muscle tissue and connective tissues to reduce chronic pain, ease tension and increase range of motion. Unlike other types of massage, deep tissue is usually slower and can at times be slightly uncomfortable as the therapist applies more pressure. During a deep tissue massage, areas such as the shoulder blade, glute muscles and lower back are typically targeted to address specific complaints such as poor posture, improper alignment and physical scarring due to injury or trauma.

Those looking for a relaxing massage should opt for another type since deep tissue can feel much heavier than lighter methods. However, most people who get regular deep tissue massages report greater relief from their chronic conditions with each session.
