Deep tissue focuses on slow, targeted pressure to release stubborn tension in deeper muscle layers and connective tissue. Swedish is generally lighter and more relaxation-focused, while deep tissue is ideal when you want real change in tight, overworked areas.
No. Effective deep tissue is about precision and pacing, not brute force. You should feel strong, productive pressure, but you should still be able to breathe normally and relax into it. We adjust in real time so you get results without “white-knuckling” the session.
Clients often book deep tissue for chronic tightness, knots, limited mobility, desk posture tension, and workout recovery. It’s a great choice when stretching alone is not cutting it and you want a more lasting reset.
Most people leave feeling looser and more mobile, and it’s normal to have mild tenderness for 24 to 48 hours in areas that were especially tight. A little water, light movement, and a warm shower usually help you feel amazing the next day.
If you’re dealing with long-standing tension, a short series (for example, weekly or biweekly for a few sessions) can build momentum. After that, most clients switch to maintenance based on lifestyle and training, like every 3 to 6 weeks.
Absolutely. Athletes love it for recovery and range of motion, and desk workers love it for neck, shoulders, back, hips, and that “compressed” feeling from sitting. If you want a full-body reset that actually targets the problem areas, deep tissue is a go-to.
