Frequency depends on your needs. For chronic pain or high activity levels, sessions every 2–4 weeks may be beneficial.
If you’re dealing with persistent muscle tension, postural issues, or chronic pain, deep tissue massage may be exactly what your body needs. This advanced therapy goes beyond surface-level relaxation to address deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. For those in Montreal, deep tissue massage offers long-lasting relief and improved movement.
Deep tissue massage is a specialized technique that focuses on breaking down adhesions (also known as “knots”) in the muscles and fascia. These tight areas can limit mobility and cause discomfort or pain. By using slow, firm pressure, the massage works into the deeper layers of muscle tissue to promote healing and release long-held tension.
Unlike Swedish massage, which is primarily for relaxation, deep tissue therapy is ideal for people who are recovering from injuries, experience chronic muscle pain, or have restricted movement due to stress, poor posture, or repetitive strain.
Whether you suffer from tension headaches, back pain, or tight shoulders, deep tissue massage can provide targeted relief. It helps reduce inflammation, ease pressure on nerves, and restore balance to your body.
By loosening tight muscles and breaking up scar tissue, this therapy supports better alignment and mobility. It’s especially helpful for athletes, office workers, or anyone who feels “locked up” from day-to-day activity.
Deep tissue massage promotes faster healing by increasing blood flow and flushing out toxins. If you’re recovering from a strain or soft tissue injury, this treatment can be a key part of your rehab plan.
If you have chronic tension, limited range of motion, or lingering pain from an injury, you’re likely a good candidate. At your first visit, we’ll assess your needs and customize the session to target the areas that need the most attention—whether it’s your back, neck, legs, or shoulders.
Ready to take the next step in feeling better? Whether you’re looking for long-term pain management or a tune-up after intense activity, deep tissue massage can help. Sessions are tailored to your goals and comfort level, and you’ll leave feeling stronger and more balanced.
