Deep Tissue Body Massage (30 min)

Deep tissue massage uses firmer pressure and slower strokes to reach deeper muscle layers, targeting chronic tension and knots. Regular massage uses lighter pressure for general relaxation. Deep tissue is therapeutic and problem-focused, while regular massage emphasizes overall stress relief and relaxation.

Deep tissue involves firm pressure that may cause brief discomfort when working on problem areas, but it shouldn't be painful. Our therapists adjust pressure based on your comfort level and communicate throughout the session. The goal is therapeutic relief, not pain. Most clients describe it as 'good pain' that brings relief.

The 30-minute option is perfect for targeted relief and maintenance between longer sessions.

For chronic pain or tension, weekly or bi-weekly sessions provide optimal results. For maintenance and prevention, monthly massages help manage stress and muscle tension. Athletes may benefit from post-workout recovery sessions. We'll recommend a schedule based on your specific needs.
