With similar benefits to a Swedish massage, the deeper pressure used in a deep tissue massage addresses the deeper layers of muscle with slow, deliberate strokes that are beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. The slower speed and more concentrated pressure encourages the muscles, fascia, and tendons to relax and realign. This massage modality is often recommended to release chronic patterns of tension, reduce pain, relieve muscle spasms, improve circulation, rehab muscles, and increase range of motion.

After discussing your session goals, your massage therapist may use only deep tissue massage, or include it as part of your customized treatment, to best address your specific concerns.
