Deep Tissue Massage

​is a massage therapy technique that involves applying firm pressure and slow strokes to reach deeper layers of muscle and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles). Working slower to access each sub-layer allows tension spots to release and relax as you go deeper.

*This is not the same thing as deep pressure.
Deep tissue = slow, thorough, going layer by layer to access the deepest tissues, paying close attention to trigger points along the way. 
Deep pressure = any type of massage that involves deep pressure. Pressure can range from therapist to therapist.
​
​What to expect:
Lighter pressure and/or compression is generally applied at the start of your massage to warm up and prepare the muscles. Your therapist may use fingertips, knuckles, hands, elbows, and/or forearms during a deep tissue massage. You may be asked to breathe deeply as the massage therapist works on tense areas.
