Some tension doesn't respond to gentle massage. When you've got chronic lower back pain, a shoulder that's been locked up for months, or neck tension that comes back every week — that's usually adhesions in the deeper muscle layers. Deep tissue massage works directly on those layers using slow, deliberate pressure and specific friction techniques.
It's not comfortable in the way relaxation massage is comfortable. But for people dealing with persistent structural pain, it's often the only approach that produces lasting change.
| Area | Common problem | Duration | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lower back | Chronic stiffness and pain | 60 min | €55 |
| Shoulders | Blade tension, restricted movement | 45 min | €45 |
| Neck and traps | Recurring tension and headaches | 45 min | €45 |
Who this is for
Deep tissue is most useful for people who sit at a desk all day, athletes with chronic overuse patterns, and anyone who's had the same pain in the same place for more than a few weeks. It's not the right choice for acute injuries or fresh sprains — for those, lighter work or rest comes first.
What to expect during and after the session
The session starts with lighter pressure to warm the tissue, then moves progressively deeper into problem areas. Some spots will feel like significant pressure — most clients describe it as intense but clearly doing something useful. You'll likely feel tired afterward and possibly a bit sore the next day, similar to a hard workout. That soreness usually passes within 48 hours.
Common questions
Is deep tissue massage painful?
There's real pressure involved, especially around adhesions. Most people describe it as intense rather than painful. We adjust throughout the session — if the pressure is too much at any point, say so and we'll change the approach.
How many sessions do I need?
For chronic problems, most people start with 1–2 sessions close together, then move to maintenance every 2–4 weeks. Adhesions that have been there for years take more time than something that developed over a few months — we'll give you a realistic assessment at your first session.
