Deep Tissue massage is a deep manipulation of the muscles and body tissue. The treatment is similar to that of Swedish massage but uses a gradual increase in pressure combined with slower strokes. The pressure starts out gentle and increases to work at deeper levels but always within the comfort tolerance of the client. The saying 'no pain, no gain' is NOT true for this type of massage or any other for that matter.

Deep tissue massage is often used to help release the chronic patterns of tension in the body thus helping to increase circulation and range of motion.
