About Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage generally involves stronger or more focused pressure intended to work on deeper muscles and soft tissues. Deep tissue techniques may also be used as part of other massage styles, including remedial massage. Healthdirect describes deep tissue techniques as using strong pressure to reach deeper muscles or tendons. Healthdirect The techniques and level of pressure used can vary considerably between providers. A deep tissue massage does not necessarily mean that maximum pressure should be used throughout the entire session. Your comfort is important. Discuss your preferred pressure, the areas you would like the provider to focus on or avoid, and any relevant health information before the massage begins. If you are considering massage because of an injury, ongoing pain or a health condition, consider discussing whether massage is suitable with an appropriate healthcare professional.

What to expect

A deep tissue massage session will vary according to the provider, the service booked and your preferences. Before starting, your provider may ask about your preferred pressure, areas you want them to focus on, previous injuries and other relevant health information. Healthdirect advises that health history, current problems, consent and what to expect should be discussed before massage treatment. Healthdirect The provider may use slower, firmer or more focused massage movements than those commonly associated with relaxation massage. Oils or lotions may also be used depending on the service. Firmer pressure can sometimes feel intense, but you should communicate with your provider if the pressure or technique is uncomfortable. Massage can sometimes cause temporary soreness afterwards. Healthdirect Check the provider's Touch.Town profile and individual service description before booking.

  • Session duration
  • Price
