Deep tissue massage uses more pressure kneading techniques than a Swedish massage to reach the deeper tissues in the muscles and tendons under the skin. With slow strokes and deep fingers, pressure with firm movements on the skin, the tension in the deeper layers of the muscle and the connective tissue will be relaxed. Although this type of massage is more intense, no pain or soreness should be felt.

Benefits: Might help with pain and stiffness, relieve tight muscles, etc. It might fix the imbalance in the body, and lower stress and anxiety.

❗Avoid this type of massage if you’re overly sensitive to pressure.

Duration: 60–90 minutes
