Deep Tissue Massage works on the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also known as connective tissue. Deep tissue Massage uses similar healing techniques as Swedish Massage, but the pressure points are often more intense.

When there is chronic tension the muscle develops adhesions, which are bands of painful, rigid tissue. Deep tissue techniques address these adhesions using direct, deep pressure or friction in the effected area. When you alleviate chronic tension there is an increase in circulation, decrease in pain and an increase in range of motion.

Unlike classic massage therapy, which is used for relaxation, Deep Tissue Massages focus on helping a specific problem such as chronic pain, limited mobility, recovery from injuries, repetitive strain injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, postural problems, Osteoarthritis pain, Fibromyalgia and muscle tension or spasms.
