What it is
About deep tissue massage
Deep tissue massage uses slower strokes and sustained pressure to reach the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It's a thoughtful pick when you've been carrying tightness in the shoulders, back or legs for a while — not something you book on a whim.

Frequently asked questions
How is deep tissue different from Swedish?
Swedish is lighter and primarily relaxing. Deep tissue is slower and firmer, aimed at specific areas of tension.
Will it hurt?
The pressure is firm but should stay within your comfort limit. Always speak up if the pressure feels too strong.
