Deep tissue massage is used to treat chronic muscle tension and pain by targeting the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues. It is commonly used for conditions such as:

• Neck and shoulder tension

• Low back pain

• Sports injuries

• Limited range of motion

• Postural imbalances

• Muscle adhesions (knots)

It helps improve mobility, reduce stiffness, and support long-term muscle recovery.

Deep tissue massage is not meant to be painful, but it can feel more intense than a relaxation massage. You may feel some pressure or discomfort when working on tight or knotted areas.

A good treatment should stay within a “good pain” range, therapeutic, but not overwhelming. Your therapist should always adjust pressure based on your comfort level.

This depends on your condition and goals:

• Chronic pain or injury: every 1–2 weeks initially

• General muscle maintenance: every 3–4 weeks

• Stress and posture support: once a month

Your therapist will usually recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your muscle tension and response to treatment.
