About Deep Tissue Massage

What Is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage uses slow, deliberate pressure applied through the thumbs, knuckles, forearms, and elbows to reach the deeper layers of muscle and the connective tissue (fascia) surrounding them. Where Swedish massage works the surface layers to promote relaxation and circulation, deep tissue targets the underlying structures responsible for chronic stiffness, recurring pain, and restricted movement.
It is not simply a harder Swedish massage. It is a different therapeutic approach — working across muscle fibres to break down adhesions, releasing trigger points that refer pain to other areas, and systematically restoring normal function to muscles that have locked into patterns of tension.

How Deep Tissue Massage Is Performed

At Aurrum, Professional therapist begins every deep tissue session with a postural and movement assessment — identifying where tension is held and how it connects to your overall movement patterns before a single stroke is applied.
The session then works through:
  1. Warm-up phase — Swedish-style strokes to prepare the surface tissue and increase local blood flow
  2. Cross-fibre friction — slow strokes perpendicular to the muscle fibres to break down adhesions
  3. Trigger point release — sustained direct pressure on hyper-irritable spots that are causing referred pain
  4. Myofascial release — slow, sustained stretching of the fascial tissue surrounding muscle groups
  5. Stripping — deep gliding pressure along the length of the muscle to release tension bands
  6. Integration — lighter finishing strokes to reconnect treated areas and return circulation
Communication is continuous throughout. You tell therapist what you feel. The work adjusts accordingly.

Why Get Deep Tissue Massage at Aurrum

  • Therapist brings specialist training in myofascial release and trigger point therapy — this is her primary discipline, not an add-on to her repertoire
  • Systematic approach — she works from a structural understanding of your tension patterns, not a generic sequence
  • She does not mistake pain for depth — genuine deep tissue work is controlled and purposeful; discomfort should feel productive, never harmful
  • Regular clients see cumulative improvement — patterns that have taken months to develop require more than one session to fully release; Therapist tracks your progress across visits
  • Post-session guidance — she will tell you what she found, what she worked on, and what you can do between sessions to maintain results

Who Usually Comes for Deep Tissue Massage

  • Office professionals with chronic neck, shoulder, and lower back tension from sustained desk work and poor screen posture
  • Athletes and gym-goers dealing with recurring tightness, delayed onset muscle soreness, or specific movement restrictions
  • People with diagnosed postural imbalances — forward head posture, rounded shoulders, pelvic tilt — that cause daily discomfort
  • Those who've had Swedish massage and found it insufficient — deep tissue is the natural next step when surface-level work no longer reaches the source
  • Professionals under sustained pressure — stress-induced muscle holding is real and cumulative; deep tissue breaks the physical manifestation of psychological load

FAQ

  • Is deep tissue massage painful?
Some discomfort is normal in areas of chronic tension — often described as "good pain": the productive sensation of release. It should never feel harmful. You are always in control; communicate your limits and the pressure adjusts immediately.
  • I'll be sore afterwards — is that normal?
Mild muscle soreness for 24–48 hours after a deep tissue session is normal, similar to post-exercise fatigue. Drink plenty of water to flush metabolic waste released from the tissue.
  • How many sessions will I need?
For acute tension: 1–2 sessions may be sufficient. For chronic patterns built over months or years: a series of 4–6 sessions with 1–2 weeks between them is more realistic.
  • Can deep tissue make an injury worse?
Not if disclosed. Always tell your therapist about any recent or active injury. Acute inflammation is a contraindication — deep tissue is for post-acute phase recovery and chronic conditions.
  • What should I do before the session?
Avoid the gym the same day. Stay hydrated. Avoid a large meal in the hour before. Arrive with 10 minutes to fill in the intake form.
