Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage uses slow, firm strokes and focused pressure to reach the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for stubborn knots, chronic tension and the tightness that builds up from desk work, training or poor posture.

What you need to know

What to expect
After identifying your problem areas, your therapist applies firm, targeted pressure to release tension in the deeper muscle layers. It is normal to feel some intensity during the work; communication is key, so tell your therapist if you would like more or less pressure. Sessions typically last 60–90 minutes.

Frequently asked questions
Does it hurt?
Deep tissue work can feel intense but should never be unbearable. Your therapist adjusts to a "good" pressure that stays within your comfort.
Will I feel sore afterwards?
