Deep Tissue Massage in Tampa: When It’s The Right Choice For Your Body
Tense. Stiff. Sore.
If that sounds like you, a deep tissue massage may be the right move.
What is a deep tissue massage?
A focused technique that works deeper muscle layers and fascia.
Your therapist uses slow, intentional strokes and sustained pressure to ease tight spots and restore mobility. Great for back, neck, shoulders, legs, and hips.
Who benefits most
Desk stiffness and tech neck
Chronic tension or knots
Post-workout soreness
Limited range of motion
Old nagging aches from past injuries
Runners, lifters, and weekend athletes
If you’re pregnant, book a Prenatal Massage instead. It’s designed for comfort and safety.
Deep tissue vs Swedish
Deep Tissue: firmer pressure, targets problem areas, improves function
Swedish/Relaxation: lighter to medium pressure, full-body ease, stress reduction
Not sure which one you need? Your therapist can blend both during your session.
