Deep tissue massage is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and accessories found in a spa bath set. It is a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots (also known as “adhesions.”)
This massage should not hurt, but it’s likely to be a bit more uncomfortable than a classic relaxation massage. A warm soothing bath with bath crystal is in order if additional relaxation of the muscles is desired. You should always feel free to speak up if the pressure is too much for you during the massage.
