Deep tissue massage targets the inner layers of your muscles, tendons, and fascia, it uses the same techniques as Swedish Massage, but more specificity and depth of pressure. To reach the deep structures, treatment begins in broader areas and work down to specificity, applying more depth while using special techniques with the fingers, fists, and maybe even elbows to reach and stretch that deep tissue.
It’s important to communicate if the level of pressure is too much, or not enough for it to be modified for your needs. Please make sure to communicate with your massage therapist before and during the massage.
