Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage is a therapeutic massage technique that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It’s especially helpful for chronic aches and pains and areas of muscle tension such as the neck, upper back, lower back, legs, and shoulders.

>>>Deep tissue massage is often confused with deep pressure massage, but they’re different: deep tissue is about depth and precision, not just firm pressure.

Specific Focus: Works on specific muscle groups or problem areas, often to release chronic muscle tension.
