Intensive Muscle Therapy | Target Deep Knots | From €65
What Is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep tissue massage is a targeted therapeutic technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia. Using slow, firm strokes and sustained pressure, the therapist works through layers of tension to reach the underlying muscle fibers where chronic pain and tightness originate.
This technique is particularly effective for people with chronic pain conditions, repetitive strain injuries, or postural problems. Unlike Swedish massage which focuses on relaxation, deep tissue massage is results-oriented — designed to break up scar tissue, release muscle adhesions, and restore normal movement patterns. While the pressure is more intense, a skilled therapist will always work within your pain tolerance, communicating throughout the session to ensure therapeutic benefit without unnecessary discomfort.
