Description

Before you book, let us tell you briefly what a deep tissue massage really is — and when it is most useful.

What is a deep tissue massage

The deep tissue massage uses firm, slow pressure to reach the deep layers of the muscles and connective tissue. Unlike a relaxation massage, it dissolves the knots and chronic tension that light strokes cannot reach — a therapeutic massage, effective on areas that have been tight for a long time.

When you need it

Deep tissue is the right choice when tension has built up over time: back or neck pain from desk work, tight shoulders, contractures, or muscles strained by physical effort. By working deep on the muscle fibres, it helps release the tightness and supports better recovery.

The technique

The therapist uses oil and pressure that builds up gradually, applied slowly and with control — with the palms, thumbs and forearms — following the muscle fibres to dissolve knots and adhesions. Throughout, you stay in touch with the therapist, so the intensity remains effective yet comfortable.
