For Knots, Stiffness & Old Injuries
Therapeutic — often called deep tissue — massage works beneath the surface layers: slow strokes, sustained pressure and trigger-point release aimed at chronic holding patterns in the neck, shoulders, lower back and hips.
It is firmer than Swedish by design, but never brutal. Your therapist warms the tissue first, then layers pressure gradually, checking in so you stay on the useful side of intensity. Most clients walk out standing taller and turning their heads further.

Therapeutic Massage FAQ
Will I be sore afterwards?
Mild tenderness for a day is normal after deep work — like after good exercise. Drinking water and gentle movement help it pass quickly.
How is this different from Swedish?
Swedish relaxes the whole body with flowing strokes; therapeutic targets specific problem areas with slower, deeper pressure.
How many sessions will I need?
Many clients feel real change in one visit. Long-standing issues usually ease over three to six sessions — we will give you an honest estimate first.
