The term “deep tissue” has long been a trendy way to describe a massage treatment incorporating deeper pressure. Some request this with the expectation that it will “hurt so good”, or even be a painful experience. Others might believe that experiencing pain during a massage is the only way for a treatment to be effective and create long-lasting results.

Massage Therapy directly affects the body’s nervous system, and how the therapist’s techniques “communicate” with the nervous system creates effective results. Since everyone’s perception is their own, the depth of pressure applied during a treatment is highly subjective. This thereby necessitates that every person’s treatment plan is individualized for their needs.

Feeling pain during treatment is not necessary to achieve positive outcomes. However, we understand that applying deeper pressure can sometimes feel very satisfying as if it is getting "to the root of the issue.”
