Deep tissue massage is ideal for individuals dealing with chronic muscle tension, stiffness, or conditions such as sciatica, back pain, or sports injuries. It’s also beneficial for athletes or those recovering from strenuous physical activity.

During the session, the therapist will use their hands, fingers, elbows, or forearms to apply firm pressure to specific areas of tension. The strokes are slow and intentional, focusing on breaking up adhesions and relieving deep muscle tension.

Deep tissue massage may cause some discomfort due to the intensity of pressure applied, especially in tight or knotted areas. However, it should not be overly painful. Communicate with your therapist to ensure the pressure is within your comfort level.

The frequency depends on your needs and goals. For chronic pain or tension, weekly sessions may be recommended initially, followed by maintenance treatments every 2–4 weeks. Your therapist can advise on a personalized schedule based on your condition.
