Deep tissue massage targets chronic muscle tension and tightness beneath the body’s surface. Using slow, focused strokes and firm pressure, often with my fingers, thumbs, or elbows, this technique works to release muscle adhesions (knots) that can restrict movement, block circulation, and cause discomfort. This treatment is especially beneficial for stubborn tension in areas like the neck, shoulders, and lower back. While some strokes are similar to a classic massage, the pace is slower, and the pressure is deeper, concentrating on problem spots to help restore mobility, ease pain, and improve overall muscle function.
