Deep Tissue Massage FAQ
Understanding intensive muscle therapy
What is deep tissue massage?
Deep tissue massage uses slower strokes and deeper pressure to target chronic muscle tension, adhesions, and knots in the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It is particularly effective for conditions like chronic back pain and neck tension.
Is deep tissue massage painful?
You may feel some discomfort during treatment, but it should never be unbearable. We adjust pressure based on your comfort level and tolerance.
How often should I get deep tissue massage?
For chronic issues, weekly sessions initially, then bi-weekly for maintenance. Athletes may benefit from more frequent sessions during training — see our sports massage for athletic-focused care.
What conditions does deep tissue massage help with?
Deep tissue massage is highly effective for chronic pain, fibromyalgia, postural imbalances, and fascial restrictions. It's also beneficial for injury recovery and muscle rehabilitation.
How is deep tissue massage different from sports massage?
While both use firm pressure, sports massage focuses on athletic performance and recovery, while deep tissue targets chronic tension patterns and adhesions. Many clients benefit from combining both approaches.
Can deep tissue massage help with posture?
Yes! By releasing chronically tight muscles and restoring balance, deep tissue massage supports posture improvement. It's especially helpful for office workers dealing with desk-related tension.
