What is deep tissue massage?
Deep tissue massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to alleviate chronic pain and tension. Unlike traditional massages, this therapy uses slower, firmer strokes and focused pressure to reach tight areas and muscle adhesions.
Ideal for those dealing with back pain, stiff neck, sports injuries, or postural problems, deep tissue massage helps improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and enhance muscle recovery. Each session is customized to your needs, ensuring a therapeutic experience that targets your specific areas of discomfort.

What should I expect during a deep tissue massage session at Bliss Spa & Massage
During a deep tissue massage, you can expect a thorough consultation where your therapist will discuss your pain points, health history, and personal goals to tailor the session to your needs. The massage itself involves slow, firm strokes and deep finger pressure, often focusing on specific knots or tight areas. While the pressure may feel intense, it should never be unbearably painful, and you are encouraged to communicate openly with your therapist if adjustments are needed. Sessions typically last between 45, 60 and 90 minutes, depending on your requirements, with common focus areas including the back, neck, shoulders, and legs to ensure comprehensive relief and relaxation.
Who Can Benefit from Deep Tissue Massage?
People who suffer from chronic muscle pain or tension, athletes recovering from injury or muscle strain, and individuals whose poor posture has led to muscle tightness. It can also help anyone dealing with stress-related stiffness or those with limited mobility caused by muscle adhesions or scar tissue. However, it’s important to note that if you have certain conditions such as fractures, infections, or blood clots, you should consult with your doctor before booking a session.
How Should I Prepare for a Deep Tissue Massage?
Proper preparation before a deep tissue massage helps ensure the best possible results. Begin by staying well-hydrated and drinking plenty of water before your session. Avoid heavy meals, opting for a light meal at least an hour prior. Arriving 10–15 minutes early allows you time to relax and complete any necessary forms. Wear comfortable, easy-to-remove clothing to make the massage more comfortable. Be sure to communicate any health conditions, injuries, allergies, or medical concerns to your therapist, and take a moment to set your personal goals for the session, whether that’s relaxation, tension relief, or overall muscle recovery.
