Deep Tissue Massage Barcelona

Professional massage therapy for muscle tension relief and improved mobility

“When everyday stress and tension build up in your muscles, professional massage therapy offers a path to relief. Using slow, deliberate pressure and specialized techniques,
I work with your body’s natural healing processes to help release tension and restore comfort to overworked muscles.”

Julien, Your Massage Therapist

What is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage is a specialised massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. Using firm pressure and slow strokes, this approach helps release muscle tension and adhesions (commonly known as “knots”) that can limit movement and cause discomfort.

Unlike relaxation massage, deep tissue work uses more focused pressure to help improve mobility and provide relief from muscle tension. Each session is tailored to your specific needs and comfort level.

Common Concerns That Bring Clients to Deep Tissue Massage

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.

Deep tissue massage focuses on releasing tension in the muscles of the lower back,
including the erector spinae and surrounding areas. Many clients report feeling more comfortable and mobile after sessions.

Working with the trapezius, levator scapulae, and surrounding muscles can help release tension that often accompanies desk work and daily stress.

Massage may help with muscle tension in the hip area and legs. Some clients with sciatic discomfort find temporary relief through muscle work, though we do not treat the condition itself.

Focused massage on the forearm muscles may provide temporary relief for those experiencing tension from repetitive activities like tennis or golf.

Whether from exercise, posture, or daily activities, deep tissue massage can help address general muscle tension throughout the body.

Athletes and active individuals often find deep tissue massage helpful for managing muscle tension after training or events.

Frequently Asked Questions

While deep tissue massage uses firm pressure, it should never be unbearably painful. Continuously adjust the pressure based on your feedback to ensure you're comfortable. Some areas of tension may feel tender, but we always work within your comfort zone.
Good communication during the session ensures the best experience.

This varies greatly by individual. Some clients prefer weekly sessions when dealing with significant muscle tension, while others find monthly maintenance sessions work well.
We can discuss what might work best for your lifestyle and needs during your consultation.

Stay hydrated and allow yourself some rest if possible. Light movement is fine, but you may want to avoid strenuous exercise for the rest of the day. Some muscle tenderness for 24-48 hours is normal. I'll provide personalised suggestions based on your session.

Both sessions include consultation, warm-up, massage, and stretching. The 90-minute session allows for 50 minutes of hands-on massage time compared to 30 minutes in the 60-minute session, providing more thorough work on multiple areas.

Deep tissue massage isn't suitable for everyone. Please inform me if you have any health concerns, are taking blood thinners, have recent injuries, or are pregnant.
We can adjust the session or recommend alternatives as needed.

Wear whatever makes you comfortable. Most clients undress to their comfort level. You'll be properly draped with sheets throughout the session. The massage room is private with time to change before and after your session.

I don't usually feel the effects of a massage days after getting one-but with Julien, I do. Not only am I no longer in pain, but I also feel like my circulation has improved. I can't thank him enough. He has an incredible understanding of the body, knowing exactly what's needed and where. On top of that, he's a wonderful person, and his space has a calming, welcoming ambiance.

Amazing massage experience here. I went for the first time as I found the studio in my yoga event research and I was not disappointed. I like to try new massage places in Barcelona as I arrived 10 months ago and exploring the offers across the city. He is making sure why you are coming to provide the best service and support along to make you feel at ease. I booked a 90 min massage for 80 euros. I felt relaxed and rejuvenated after the massage. The studio is easy to find in plaça Universitat close by plaça Catalunya. I would surely come back.
