Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue massage uses slow, sustained pressure focusing on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue (fascia) to help relieve chronic tension. Sessions usually focus on one or more specific area(s) without much full-body integration. The effects tend to be longer lasting and more therapeutic than with a relaxation massage. Deep Tissue should not be confused with deep pressure massage, which incorporates strong pressure throughout a full body session, but is not designed to address a specific complaint. If you would like a deep pressure massage, we recommend The Myo; ask your therapist to customize your session.

Austin’s top deep tissue massage therapists

Our Deep Tissue therapists are trained in one or more specific modalities, with the shared goal of addressing the sources of deeply-held tension. Since the experience of these modalities may be quite different, we recognize two main categories within deep tissue:

Myofascial Release

Trigger Point Therapy

When booking, you may specify the style or book a general Deep Tissue session. For a specialist in injuries, chronic pain, structural bodywork or problem solving, please book a Pain Management session.
