What is a deep tissue massage?

Deep tissue massage is the application of pressure and movement to release deep layers of tissue, including tendons and fascia – a band of connective tissue that attaches and stabilizes muscles and internal organs. At Advanced Approaches to Massage, our trained Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) identify the source of tension then apply a series of slow, targeted strokes to provide relief from pain, stiffness and discomfort. Many patients describe feelings of restfulness, peace and deep relaxation following their treatment.

What to expect during a deep tissue massage.

Deep tissue massage is recommended for therapy, rehabilitation, and pure relaxation. Often referred to as Swedish massage, there is a difference. Unlike Swedish massage, which has a relaxing effect and uses lighter pressure, deep tissue massage is done using deep finger pressure with strokes that are firm and slow. It focuses on realigning the deeper layers of muscles & connective tissue and is most beneficial for especially tense and often over-worked areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, sore shoulders and legs. Many clients enjoy this approach, and we at Advanced Approaches to Massage are expert at administering this type of treatment, calibrated to the client’s pain threshold/comfort level. Are you seeking relief from stress, pain or minor injuries? Do you have a stiff neck, low back tightness, sore shoulders and/or legs? Comfort is at hand. We can help you heal, in body and mind.
