Deep Tissue Massage

There are many misconceptions surrounding Deep Tissue Massage. It does not mean "mashing harder." It does not mean using the hard, pointy part of an elbow to dig down deep. And most important, it does not mean "no pain, no gain."

Deep Tissue is an understanding of the various layers of muscles in the body, and the ability to work with deeper muscles effectively. When performing deep tissue massage, one should always have a therapeutic goal in mind, such as improving posture, flexibility, and movement, or simply relieving pain. These are often long term goals, beyond what one could expect from a nice relaxing Swedish massage.

No one would want a full body deep tissue massage. It's too intense. I use it on trouble spots (those achy muscles that told you it was time to get a massage). If it's used gently and in moderation, deep tissue massage can even be an important part of a relaxation massage.

My typical massage is about 25% deep tissue, but it varies widely depending on the client's needs. The important thing to know is that at Tranquility Time, a good deep therapeutic massage doesn't have to hurt. Expertise is much better than brute force, especially when we're talking about using it on your body. So call Tranquility Time at 214-395-8000 today for gentle, relaxing massage therapy.
