Deep tissue massage - step by step
Deep Tissue Massage
step by step
Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique aimed at reaching the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It is particularly effective for chronic pain, muscle knots ("trigger points"), limited mobility and stiffness, which are often the result of poor posture, repetitive motion or old injuries.
Procedure (60 min.)
Slow but intense movements are used with more pressure to affect muscle fibers, fascia and other connective tissues. The goal is to destroy adhesions, loosen deep knots and restore normal tissue function. Useful for:
- Relief of chronic pain — often in the neck, back and shoulders.
- Deactivation of trigger points causing referred pain.
- Improving posture by releasing tight muscles.
- Increasing range of motion and tissue elasticity.
- Sports injury recovery — reduces inflammation and promotes recovery.
There may be momentary discomfort ("therapeutic pain"), but it should be tolerable and lead to relief after the session.
(5–10 min.) Brief Consultation and Assessment
Before the start, we conduct a short consultation: symptoms, pain areas, medical history. This allows priority areas to be identified and techniques to be adapted for maximum efficiency and safety.
- Precise determination of problem areas
- An individual approach to your condition
- Optimal results
Price: 50 euros. (60min)
Frequently Asked Questions about Deep Tissue Massage
When is deep tissue massage appropriate?
For chronic pain, muscle knots ("trigger points"), stiffness, limited mobility and in recovery phases after overuse or sports injuries. It is also suitable for active exercisers.
Is deep tissue massage painful?
A "good ache" is possible, especially in tense areas — a sign that we are reaching the problem tissues. Pressure adapts to remain tolerable and effective.
How often should it be done?
It is often started with 1–2 sessions per week for severe symptoms, then switched to a maintenance regimen every 2–3 weeks according to individual response.
Are there any side effects after the massage?
Mild muscle soreness for 24–48 hours and sometimes minor bruising in high-stress areas — similar to a feeling after an intense workout — are possible. Hydration and light exercise speed up recovery.
