Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage provides a more intense massage treatment which involves strong pressure applied to the deeper layers of the body's muscles and tendons.
Our therapists begin with a firm warm-up, followed by deep thumb and elbow techniques to address your specific areas of concern.
You may experience some discomfort throughout this treatment. This is a sign that old, stagnant muscle groups and tendons are being stimulated, which allows chronic stiffness and pain to be relieved and reset.
It's important to fully relax into this treatment
Your therapist will ask you if the pressure is ok for you. Be sure to let your therapist know if the pressure needs adjusting. Bracing your body and can cause the massage to be ineffective.
We recommend having a deep tissue massage for chronic stiffness that has been hard to shift over the years or when your body feels stiff and in-movable. The body has an innate way of laying down additional matrix (fibers) to support the body in prolonged and uncomfortable positions. This can feel like hard, lumpy areas within the muscles.
Our deep tissue massage is ideal for, but not limited to those with conditions like Dowager’s Hump, upper cross syndrome, scoliosis, chronic tight hamstrings and lower back from repetitive tasks such as computer work, driving, prolonged standing and heavy lifting.
