Firm, focused-pressure massage that reaches the chronic tension Swedish massage can't — ideal for tight shoulders, a stiff lower back, and the kind of tension that builds up after weeks at a desk.
Book Deep Tissue MassagePeople with chronic back or shoulder pain, desk-based professionals carrying postural tension, and anyone whose muscles feel tight rather than simply stressed. If you're looking for gentler, relaxation-focused work instead, our Swedish Massage may be a better starting point.
Preparation tip: drink water before and after your session, and mention any injuries or sensitive areas to your therapist beforehand.
Deep tissue massage uses firmer, more targeted pressure to reach chronic tension in muscles and connective tissue, while Swedish massage uses lighter, flowing strokes mainly for relaxation.
It's well suited to people with chronic back or shoulder pain, desk workers with postural tension, and anyone recovering from muscle overuse.
It can feel intense on tight areas, but it should not be sharply painful. Therapists adjust pressure to your comfort level throughout the session.
