What is a deep tissue massage?

Deep tissue massage is a subset of traditional massage that focuses on reducing lactic acid within the muscles. They are a bit more intense than other forms, and focus heavily on deep, long moments of pressure on certain muscles and connective tissues.

What does a deep tissue massage do?

The pressure involved with deep tissue massage moves the blood and lactic acid in your muscles throughout your body. This increases blood flow to promote circulation, and can also help fix posture or overreliance on certain muscles by manipulating your body parts, reducing knots and loosening tension.

Deep tissue massage benefits

The benefits of deep tissue massage includes relaxation, improved posture, reduced muscle and body pain, as well as an increased feeling of happiness. Massage increases the serotonin your brain releases, so you may feel a bit euphoric after a deep tissue massage appointment.

Does a deep tissue massage hurt?

Deep tissue massages don’t necessarily hurt, but the application of pressure can definitely feel intense. Most massage therapists will ask you if the pressure is too much, or too little, so if you are feeling uncomfortable, communicate that to your therapist.

What to do after a deep tissue massage

Make sure that you drink water, stay lightly active, and stretch after a deep tissue massage. Deep tissue massages move around lactic acid within the body, so you can feel some soreness the night or day after a deep tissue massage.

How much does a deep tissue massage cost?

It’ll cost between $50 and $200 depending on the length of the appointment, the experience level of your massage therapist, and your location. A 60-minute deep tissue massage appointment will cost between $60 and $80.
