Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage that uses firm pressure and slow strokes. It reaches deeper layers of muscle and fascia and is often used to help with chronic aches and pain. Deep tissue massage is used to break up scar tissue and break down muscle adhesions (what we like to call knots) Knots can affect our daily lives by limiting our range of motion, increase inflammation, and decrease circulation. Often times deep tissue massage is used on a specific problem, such as ongoing muscle pain, or injury.

You Can Benefit from Massage if you:

Have chronic pain in you neck, shoulders, or back.

Feel overwhelmed or experience high stress.

Experience trouble sleeping due to pain, discomfort, or stress.

Your mobility is limited due to knots in your muscles.

What We Do

Will it Hurt

After Care
