Deep Tissue Massage

For the knot that keeps coming back

Slower and firmer than Swedish, working through the surface layer into the muscle underneath — where the tension you have had for months actually lives.

Chronic tension

Firm pressure

Therapist-led

Deep pressure is not the same as painful pressure

Deep tissue earns its name from depth, not force. Your therapist uses forearms, braced thumbs and elbows and moves deliberately slowly, because tissue only releases when it stops bracing. Rushing it makes the muscle fight back.

You should feel a strong, workable ache — the kind you would lean into. You should never feel a sharp pain, and you should never be holding your breath. Say so the moment you are, and the pressure changes.

Deep Tissue Massage at Flora Spas

What it is good for

  • Desk-and-laptop shoulders and the base of the neck
  • Low back tightness that returns every few weeks
  • Old scar tissue and adhesions from past injuries
  • Hips and glutes locked up from sitting or driving
  • Anyone who has been told a normal massage "does not do anything"

Afterwards

Expect to feel loose that evening and a little tender the next day, the way you would after a good gym session. Drink water, keep moving gently, and skip the ice bath. If you are sore for more than two days the pressure was too much — tell us and we will dial it back next time.
