Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness can be common after the treatment.
It’s important to not confuse a heavy pressure massage with deep tissue. Ironically, many of the deeper muscles and connective tissues don’t need heavy pressure as they are not used to being manipulated.
