Deep tissue massage is a massage technique that focuses on reaching the deeper tissues and muscles within the body to relieve tension and knots while promoting relaxation and providing pain relief.

Deep tissue massage is more intense than a Swedish massage because it targets the deeper layers of muscle and tissue to eliminate chronic tension and pain. While deep tissue massage uses firm pressure, Swedish massage uses less pressure and more gentle massage techniques to provide a more general relaxing experience. 

Deep tissue massage is designed to provide targeted pain relief. Other benefits include:

• Muscle relaxation
• Enhanced performance & improved posture
• Better flexibility
• Stress reduction

You should prepare for your deep tissue massage by finding a quiet area for your massage therapist to set up. There should be enough space for them to comfortably maneuver around the table to provide you with the best experience possible. Check out our helpful article for more detail on how to prepare for your appointment, and connect with your provider in the app prior to your appointment with any concerns or questions.

We suggest wearing comfortable clothing you can easily remove and put back on. Your deep tissue massage therapist will give you privacy and allow you to get under the privacy sheet before entering the room. You can undress as much as you’d like, with your comfort being our top priority. 

The main difference between prenatal massage and deep tissue massage is that prenatal massages are designed just for pregnant women, allowing them to get the benefits of a massage with techniques that are gentle and safe for their growing baby. On the other hand, anyone can get a deep tissue massage that uses more pressure.
