Deep Tissue Massage

Service Description

Deep Tissue Massage is a focused, therapeutic modality designed to decrease chronic tension, restore optimal muscle tone, and assist with detangling deeply held muscular patterns. Using intentionally sustained pressure and specific techniques, Deep Tissue Massage helps break up adhesions (commonly referred to as “knots”), improve circulation to the affected areas, and reduce inflammation that can contribute to discomfort. During a Deep Tissue Massage I will check in with you to make sure that the applied pressure that I use is always adjusted to your comfort level. I want to ensure that the session is both effective and productive, without being overwhelming or causing you more stress. Many clients choose to receive a Deep Tissue Massage versus a Swedish massage for the following reasons: - Overall needs deeper pressure during a massage - Chronic physical tension – neck, shoulder, and back - Postural strain from job related work or repetitive movements - Recovery from athletic activity - Assistance with breaking up scar tissue related to an old injury - Limited range of motion or stiffness - Tension-related headaches - Sciatic discomfort - Scoliosis support - Stress and tension that manifests physically in the body Beyond relieving muscular tension and adhesions, Deep Tissue Massage supports the parasympathetic nervous system by encouraging a shift from “fight or flight” into a more balanced, regulated state of “digest and rest”. As restricted tissue releases, many clients notice improved mobility, better posture, reduced pain, and a greater sense of ease in their daily movements. While Deep Tissue Massage is more focused, the intention is not just relief of tension — it is restoration. When deeper tension is addressed, the body overall functions more efficiently, moves more freely, and feels significantly lighter. If you are ready to move beyond temporary relief and address the root of persistent tension, Deep Tissue Massage can be a transformational step toward long-term comfort and resilience. I welcome the opportunity to work with you and support your body in feeling stronger, lighter, and more aligned.
