What is a deep tissue massage?
Deep tissue massage uses slow, firm, sustained pressure to reach the deeper layers of muscle and fascia — targeting chronic tension and knots rather than light relaxation. It's firm work: expect pressure and a 'good' ache, not sharp pain.
Does deep tissue massage hurt?
It should feel intense but bearable. Mild next-day soreness is normal, like after a workout; tell your therapist to ease off any time. Effective deep tissue doesn't have to be painful.
Deep tissue vs Swedish vs sports — which should I book?
Swedish for relaxation; deep tissue for chronic knots and specific tension; sports massage if you're training and want targeted, movement-focused work. If you're unsure and just want firm work on problem areas, deep tissue is the safe pick — and you can ask for lighter pressure any time.

Swedish uses flowing, moderate-pressure strokes for relaxation; deep tissue uses slower, firmer pressure for deep knots and chronic tension. Swedish to relax, deep tissue for specific muscle problems. Therapists can blend the two.
Both use firm pressure. Deep tissue works general chronic tension anywhere; sports massage targets specific muscles around training and movement, often with stretching. Choose sports massage if you're training, deep tissue for everyday deep tension.
