Book a deep tissue massage with our massage therapist at Human Integrated Performance. Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as:
Deep tissue massage can be beneficial for individuals who have chronic pain or sustained physical trauma. This type of massage can help break up and release scar tissue from injuries. It can also help with the reduction of inflammation-related pain caused by arthritis and tendinitis. If you have had a recent injury, please disclose any relevant information to your massage therapist so they can adapt the session to your needs.
Deep tissue massage is more intense than a relaxation massage, but it should not be painful. It is important to communicate with your massage therapist if you feel any discomfort during your session. They will adjust the pressure and technique as needed. It is also recommended to drink plenty of water after a deep tissue massage to help flush out the toxins that were released from your muscles.

When deciding how frequently you should get a massage, it all boils down to what your body needs. If you’re dealing with pain or an injury, then more frequent visits could prove beneficial; however, if relaxation is the only aim here, less frequent appointments may be suitable for your situation.

The average massage therapy session is 30 minutes to 1 hour long. But the therapist can make it shorter or longer, depending on what kind of massage you want and how long you want it. For example, if you want a deep tissue massage, it may be more than 1 hour. If you just want to relax, it may be only 30 minutes. It is best to talk with your massage therapist before the massage. This way you can figure out how long the massage should be.
During a massage therapy session, your therapist will give you their full attention. Your therapist may ask you how you’re feeling and what you hope to accomplish during the session. Your therapist will then use different types of pressure and techniques to help relax your muscles, reduce tension, and improve your overall well-being.
It is typically customary to undress to your comfort level for a massage therapy session, usually down to your underwear. Some types of massage may require full nudity, but the therapist will ensure you are properly draped during the session to maintain modesty and comfort. It’s important to communicate your level of comfort and undress only as much as you feel comfortable.
