At Medical & Sports Massage deep tissue isn’t just about pressure—it’s about purpose. Our licensed therapists specialize in treating pain that other massages often miss. If you’re tired of temporary relief or “routine” sessions that don’t address the root of your tension, you’re in the right place.
Whether you’re managing chronic neck pain, training for a race, or recovering from surgery, our deep tissue massage is designed to help your body heal, not just relax
Why Opt For a Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep tissue massage is a focused, therapeutic technique that works through the body’s deeper muscle layers and fascia. Unlike Swedish massage, which targets surface tension, deep tissue helps:
-
Break up adhesions and scar tissue
-
Improve circulation to affected areas
-
Restore the normal range of motion
-
Reduce inflammation and promote healing
This isn’t a “deep pressure” upgrade—it’s a method. Every session is adjusted to your tolerance and tailored to your body’s specific needs.
Conditions we treat with Deep Tissue Massage
This technique is especially helpful for:
-
Chronic neck, shoulder, or lower back pain
-
Muscle recovery after overuse or injury
-
Postural imbalances (desk work, driving, caregiving)
-
Limited mobility or stiffness after surgery or inactivity
Many of our clients are also managing fibromyalgia, sciatica, or sports-related injuries, and we often combine deep tissue with other techniques as part of a care plan. Learn more about our fibromyalgia massage therapy approach and why targeted work matters.

Frequently Asked Questions About Deep Tissue Massage
- Does deep tissue massage have to hurt to be effective?
- No. While it’s common to feel some intensity in areas with scar tissue or inflammation, true therapeutic massage should never be punishing. We focus on effectiveness, not aggression. Pain can cause the body to guard—and that works against healing. Our approach prioritizes both results and your nervous system’s readiness to release tension.
- How often should I get deep tissue massage?
- If you’re working through chronic pain or an injury, we may recommend a weekly cadence for 2–4 weeks, followed by reassessment. For general maintenance, biweekly or monthly care is common. We also offer packages and memberships designed to support consistent care without a steep cost.
- Can deep tissue massage be combined with other treatments?
- Absolutely. Many of our clients receive deep tissue alongside sports massage or neuromuscular therapy. If you're recovering from surgery or coming off physical therapy, we’ll build a plan that supports your return to full function.
- Is deep tissue massage appropriate for fibromyalgia or sensitive conditions?
- In many cases, yes—but it depends on the person and timing. For clients managing chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, or autoimmune conditions, we use modified deep tissue techniques with a more nuanced approach. You might also benefit from our clinical massage for fibromyalgia relief, which balances effectiveness with gentle care.
- What makes your approach to deep tissue massage different?
- At Medical & Sports Massage, We don’t follow a script. Our therapists are trained to assess posture, movement, and muscular tension before working—so the session is tailored to your goals and anatomy, not a generic routine. We also track client outcomes over time, so you’re not guessing whether it’s working—you’ll know.
