Deep tissue massage targets deep areas of muscle, while other massage techniques may focus on superficial body regions. This massage therapy can help to alleviate chronic pain, reduce stress, and improve posture. It also helps to break up adhesions and knots, which can limit the range of motion.
Research has shown that deep tissue massage helps lower levels of stress hormones while at the same time boosting feel-good neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin and endorphins.

What to expect from a Deep Tissue Massage?
We will talk with you about what you want to achieve through the massage and your massage therapist will focus on any particular area of the body that you struggle with. Deep tissue massage can be uncomfortable at times as it targets deeper muscles, but we will adjust the pressure and technique to ensure comfort. During the session, the therapist will use firm pressure and slow strokes with hands, fingers, and elbows and may use other techniques like stretching or cupping, if needed. After a deep tissue massage you can expect to feel a little tender in the area that has been worked. Most clients find that the biggest after effect of a deep tissue massage is sleepiness.
