What is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep tissue massage is strong, focused pressure that reaches the deeper muscle layers where your real problems hide. Unlike relaxation massage that skims the surface, this technique actually breaks down the knots causing your pain.
Here’s what happens: I use my hands, forearms, and elbows to apply sustained pressure exactly where you need it. You’ll feel that “hurts so good” sensation – like when someone finally hits that spot you can’t reach yourself. Yes, it’s intense. But that’s why it works when nothing else does.
After 15 years and thousands of sessions, I know the difference between productive pressure and pointless pain. We work at your limit, not beyond it. Most clients say something like “I didn’t know I needed that much pressure until I felt the relief.”
What Deep Tissue Actually Does for Your Body
- Breaks up rock-hard knots Finally dissolves that permanent lump between your shoulder blades – usually gone in 2-3 sessions.
- Unsticks stuck muscles Separates muscles that have glued together, so everything moves freely again.
- Resets your posture Releases tight chest and hip muscles that pull you out of alignment.
- Speeds up recovery Flushes out metabolic waste trapped in muscles – why athletes book weekly.
- Fixes the real problem Your shoulder pain might come from your hip – I treat the cause, not just symptoms.
- Restores range of motion Can’t turn your neck fully? Deep tissue opens up the movement you’ve lost.

How My Deep Tissue Sessions Work
First, we talk
You show me exactly where it hurts. That spot between your shoulder blades. The knot in your hip that's been there for months. I need to know what we're fixing.
Then we start smart
I don't dive straight into deep pressure. Your muscles would just fight back. Instead, I warm up the area first, then gradually increase pressure as your body allows me deeper.
The main work
This is where things get interesting. I find those trigger points and work them out with steady, firm pressure. You breathe through it. I check in constantly - "too much?" "need more?" "how's this?" Your feedback guides everything.
We finish properly
The last few minutes ease off intensity, helping your body integrate the work. You should feel tired but good, like after a solid workout - not beaten up.
What makes mine different
I've trained in both French precision techniques and Thai pressure work. That means I can approach your problem from multiple angles until we find what works.
Mind-Body Connection
Develop better awareness of tension patterns in your body
Who Actually Needs Deep Tissue
Many clients seek deep tissue massage for muscle tension and discomfort related to
various lifestyle factors. While massage therapy doesn’t treat medical conditions, it may help provide temporary relief and support overall comfort.
You've been hunched over that laptop so long, your shoulders live near your ears now. Deep tissue puts them back where they belong.
When tight muscles limit your training, deep tissue removes the restrictions holding you back from PBs.
If you spend every massage wishing they'd press harder, you're in the right place.
Tried everything else for that decade-old back pain? Deep tissue works when gentle methods fail.
Old ankle injury making your hip hurt? Your body's been compensating. I unravel these patterns.
When physiotherapy, stretching, and painkillers haven't fixed it, deep tissue often does.
Questions Everyone Asks
It's intense but manageable - like someone finally reaching that knot you can't get yourself. Sharp pain? Never. Deep pressure that makes you go "oof but keep going"? Absolutely.
Because relaxing massage doesn't fix problems, it just feels nice for an hour. You're here because gentle isn't working anymore.
Like you did a solid workout - aware of your muscles but not injured. Drink water, take a warm shower, you'll be fine. Day three feels amazing
Give it 24 hours. Your muscles need time to resettle. Light walking? Fine. CrossFit? Wait till tomorrow.
Honest answer: 3 sessions for recent problems, 6-8 for stuff you've had for years. Then monthly maintenance keeps it away.
Just say "less." I check in constantly, but speak up anytime. This is teamwork - your feedback makes it work.
