Not all massages are created equal — and if you’ve ever experienced chronic tension, lingering pain, or tight muscles that just won’t let go, you know that light pressure won’t cut it. That’s where Deep Tissue Massage comes in.
At True Touch Wellness Massage, we specialize in this powerful technique that works below the surface to release deep muscle layers, improve mobility, and help you feel like yourself again.
🧠 What Makes Deep Tissue Massage Different?
Unlike Swedish massage, which focuses on relaxation with flowing strokes, deep tissue massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles). This technique involves slower movements and more focused pressure — designed to break up adhesions (knots), increase circulation, and promote healing where your body needs it most.
🩹 Who Benefits from Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep tissue isn’t for everyone — but it’s ideal for clients who experience:
- Chronic muscle pain or tightness
- Upper or lower back pain
- Neck and shoulder tension
- Postural imbalances from work or screen time
- Recovery from physical training or injuries
- Stress stored in the body
It’s also popular among athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and people with physically demanding jobs.
⏱️ What to Expect During Your Session
Your therapist will start with lighter pressure to warm up your muscles, then gradually apply deeper techniques as your body allows. It may feel intense at times — especially in areas of tension — but it should never feel painful or unsafe.
We always encourage open communication during your session, so we can adjust pressure and focus based on your needs and comfort.
After your session, it’s normal to feel a bit sore — just like after a good workout. This fades quickly, and you’ll feel looser, more mobile, and more at ease.
💬 Is Deep Tissue Right for You?
If you’ve been feeling stuck, stiff, or stressed, deep tissue massage may be exactly what your body needs to reset. And with a licensed therapist who listens and tailors each session to your goals, you’re in good hands at True Touch Wellness Massage.
