A Deep Tissue massage generally may take a little longer than Swedish depending on how many areas need work, and usually require more than one session.  Most clients who require deep tissue are those with very tight muscles, athletic, or have recovered from accidents or surgeries.  I normally open up a session with some swedish to warm up the areas first, I also offer a professional electronic massager that can be used in addition to my hands which is great at relaxing the muscles to prepare for deeper work.

 

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots (also known as "adhesions.")

Will A Deep Tissue Massage Hurt?

It shouldn't hurt, but it's likely to be a bit more uncomfortable than a classic Swedish massage. You should always feel free to speak up if the pressure is too much for you.

How Fast Will I Get Results With A Deep Tissue Massage?

It's important to be realistic about what one massage can achieve.

Many people ask for more pressure, thinking that if the therapist just pushes hard enough, they can get rid of all their knots in an hour. This just won't happen. In fact, undoing chronic knots and tension built up over a lifetime is best achieved with an integrated program that includes exercise, work on your posture and ways of moving, relaxation techniques and a regular program of massage.
