When Deep Tissue Massage Is the Right Choice
Deep tissue massage is designed for persistent muscle tightness, stubborn knots, and chronic areas of discomfort. It uses slower, more focused pressure than relaxing spa-style massage.
This type of treatment is often a good choice for people with repetitive strain from work, athletes in training, or clients recovering from long-term postural tension.
During a deep tissue session, pressure is targeted to deeper muscle layers and connective tissue. Communication is important, and pressure should always be firm but manageable.
After treatment, it is normal to feel mild soreness for a day or two. Drinking water, light movement, and proper rest can help your body recover faster.
If you need focused relief and functional improvement rather than only relaxation, deep tissue massage is usually the better option.
