Deep Tissue Massage (Add-On)

A deep tissue massage is a type of therapeutic massage that focuses on reaching deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue in the body. Unlike a traditional Swedish massage, which primarily uses gentle and flowing strokes to promote relaxation, a deep tissue massage employs more intense pressure and targeted techniques to address specific areas of tension, stiffness, and chronic pain.

During a deep tissue massage, the massage therapist will use their fingers, hands, elbows, and even specialized tools to apply firm pressure and friction to the muscles. This helps to break down adhesions (bands of rigid tissue) that may have formed in the muscles due to injury, overuse, or poor posture. By breaking down these adhesions, the therapist aims to restore normal movement and alleviate pain.

Deep tissue massage can be particularly beneficial for people experiencing chronic pain, muscle soreness, limited mobility, and recovery from injuries. It is often recommended for athletes, individuals with physically demanding jobs, or those who have undergone previous injuries or surgeries.

While deep tissue massage can be highly effective in providing relief, it may also cause some discomfort or soreness during and after the session. It's crucial to communicate openly with the massage therapist about your comfort level, so they can adjust the pressure and techniques accordingly.
