What is an Deep Tissue Massage?
A Deep Tissue Massage is a therapeutic massage technique designed to reach the deeper layers of muscles, fascia (connective tissues), and tendons. It involves applying slow, firm pressure and deep strokes to release chronic muscle tension and adhesions (knots). Unlike lighter massage styles, deep tissue massage focuses on specific problem areas to relieve long-standing pain and improve muscle function.
