Firm, focused massage for tight, overworked or fatigued muscles, with pressure adjusted to your comfort throughout the session.
Deep Tissue Massage uses slower, firmer techniques to work through areas of muscular tension. It is often chosen by clients who prefer strong pressure or who feel physically tight from work, training, travel or repetitive activity.
“Deep” should not mean uncontrolled pain. Your therapist will ask about pressure preferences and focus areas, then adjust the treatment as your body responds. Some areas may feel tender, but you should be able to breathe, relax and communicate comfortably.
This service is best suited to general muscle tightness and physical fatigue. If you have persistent pain, neurological symptoms, significant movement restriction or an injury that needs assessment, consider booking Myotherapy or Remedial Massage instead.
Every person responds differently. Your therapist will tailor the session to your needs and comfort.
At the start, tell your therapist where you feel tight, whether you have any injuries or health concerns and how firm you prefer the pressure. The treatment may focus on selected areas or include a broader full-body approach depending on your appointment length.
Pressure is adjusted throughout the session. You may feel temporary tenderness afterwards, particularly if the muscles were already sensitive. Follow the therapist’s aftercare advice and avoid forcing intense activity if your body feels sore.

No. Firm pressure can feel intense in tight areas, but the treatment should remain within your tolerance. More pain does not automatically mean a better result.
It depends. For a recent injury, severe pain, swelling, numbness or uncertain symptoms, a clinical assessment or medical review may be more appropriate. Tell the clinic about your concern before booking.
Thirty minutes suits one focused area. Sixty minutes allows broader treatment, while 90 minutes may suit multiple areas or a slower full-body session.
Hydrate normally, keep activity comfortable and follow any specific advice from your therapist. Temporary tenderness can occur after firm treatment.
