Do you feel like you have a knot in your neck or back? Do you need targeted deep pressure on specific muscle groups? Does a harder, more focused massage seem to help relieve the aches and pains you are feeling?
Our deep tissue massage therapists in Tallahassee can help!
The deep tissue massage style goes "deeper" into the muscle tissue to reduce spasms and scar tissue that often result from chronic injury or overuse.
Often this treatment is a full-body session but can also focus on specific areas like the back, neck, hips or legs. As a result, muscle tension and toxins are released allowing blood and oxygen to circulate properly.
While some of the techniques may be similar, deep tissue massages are different that medical massages which are more focused on relieving issues directly related to injuries or chronic medical conditions.
Deep pressure strokes can lead to great results for you!
Traditionally designed to apply pressure to the layers of muscle, tendons and other tissues deep under the skin, deep tissue massage can be very effective in relieving problem areas and is highly therapeutic.
Deep tissue massage is generally a modality to consider for athletes as well as 9-5 desk job workers and for people working jobs that require repetitive physical labor. Our Tallahassee deep tissue massage therapists are well skilled at providing relief to just about anyone who is in need of this therapeutic massage technique.
Muscles easily become tense and deep tissue massage can relieve some chronic patterns of pain and tension, specifically in the back, shoulder and neck areas. You'll be amazed at how you will feel after a deep tissue massage session!
Is a deep tissue massage right for you?
A deep tissue massage is going to focus on chronic muscle pain. If you feel like your muscles are always sore, hurting, tight or feel cramped or knotted, then a massage focusing on deep tissue relief probably is right for you.
We'd certainly want to evaluate your concerns before a session starts. Some of our clients prefer a more gentle, relaxing massage or Swedish massage. Or perhaps a Holistic massage. A deep tissue massage, as the name suggests, focuses on deeper, more deliberate techniques which may feel different is you're more used to a relaxing approach to massage.
But the purpose of a deep tissue massage is different too. Our massage techniques are going to allow you to get rid of some of the muscle cramps that you never thought about before, and you will find that a deep tissue massage is going to release a lot of the tension you had built up that would have caused you more issues. For many people, the effects (and benefits) occur almost right away.
Our highly trained therapists are skilled in injury rehab and pain relief and offer a wide range of massage modalities with their unique, personal styles and special techniques. Your session will always be customized for your individual needs and recommendations may be given to include stretches, posture tips, lifestyle modifications or follow-up care with other modalities or practitioners.

We want you to know that deep tissue massage works to lengthen and relax deep tissues in your muscles. This type of massage may help you manage pain and increase your range of motion. So, it may be a suitable option to treat a sports injuries or chronic pain...like tight hips or deep back pains. The technique is often considered one type of therapeutic massage and may be one approach we take to helping relieve issues you may be dealing with.
The benefits can be great.
Outside of just feeling better after one session (or multiple sessions), focusing on deep tissue relief can help with back problems, lower blood pressure and help with recovery after injuries. Women who are pregnant or just out of pregnancy often find benefit in helping with cramped muscles or just overall tension release.
What should you expect?
If you've never worked with a deep tissue massage therapist in Tallahassee, your first session may feel different than past massages.
Our therapists may ask you to lie on your side, back or front on the massage table, depending on the area we'll want to be focusing on during the massage.
The therapist will spend some time warming up the muscles with light pressure, before massaging the targeted area(s) with slow strokes and applying deep pressure with the hands, arms, or elbows. This technique works to release contracted muscles and tissues.
Some clients may require (or desire) ongoing treatments to see improvements in areas of deep muscle tension or injury. Good, open communication between you and your therapist is important. It's how we know what's working for you, how you feel and what response you are having to the massage techniques.
