A deep tissue massage is a therapeutic treatment designed to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. This technique uses slow, firm pressure and specialized strokes to address chronic tension, muscle stiffness, and areas of discomfort. By focusing on specific muscle groups, the therapist works to release built-up tension, improve circulation, and promote overall relaxation. Ideal for individuals with muscle pain, tightness, or those recovering from injury, a deep tissue massage can help restore flexibility, reduce inflammation, and alleviate stress. The deep pressure may initially feel intense, but it often leads to lasting relief and improved muscle function.
