Deep Tissue Massage is a method the focuses on releasing muscle tension. When applied effectively deep tissue work will penetrate deep into the musculature and release tightness and relieve soreness.

 

Deep Tissue massage uses many of the techniques and movements that is within Swedish massage, but the pressure is deeper and more intense. With Deep Tissue work a focus is put on a certain area to help release chronic muscle tension and aide in breaking up adhesions. 

Due to the deeper pressure of this type of massage and its focus it should not be painful but will be more uncomfortable than a Swedish massage.
