Deep Tissue Massage

Whether it’s everyday stress or an injury that’s got your muscles tied up in knots, nothing soothes quite like a deep tissue massage. Swedish massage, the most common variety, gently releases and relaxes the top layer of muscles. But deep tissue massage reaches those aching problem areas that need a bit more persuasion to relax.

Straightaway, a deep tissue massage begins with your therapist warming your muscles with gentle kneading and long, fluid strokes. Further, just as your muscles begin to respond and relax, your therapist will start using more pressure, zeroing in on stubborn knots. Even the most stubborn knot will eventually yield to this kind of warm, steady, soothing pressure. You can almost feel the knot “give up” its fight and melt away.
