What are the Benefits of a Deep Tissue Massage?

 

When you first see us for your massage service, your massage therapist will consult with you to go over any areas of concern that you want to focus on or avoid, and any current conditions that might affect treatment. When you return for future visits, we will ask about any changes, and adjust your treatment accordingly to best serve you. Your massage will be provided in a room with its own sound and lighting controls, heated tables, crisp linens, and a plush blanket. Do you have any additional requests or concerns? Just let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.

 

How is a Deep Tissue Massage Different from a Swedish Massage?

 

While Swedish massage forms the basis for the deep tissue massage technique, these are two very distinct methods of massage. This is best demonstrated by understanding the difference in stroke technique and pressure that are used for each type.

During a deep tissue massage, the strokes are more forceful which releases tension in the deeper layers of muscle. The pressure for a Swedish massage is light to firm, but for deep tissue the pressure is more intense after your muscles are warmed up.
