Joy Massage

 

Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique focused on releasing chronic tension in the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. Using slow, deliberate strokes and firm pressure, the therapist targets areas of tightness, knots, and adhesions that can cause pain or restrict movement.

Unlike lighter styles of massage, deep tissue work often concentrates on specific problem areas such as the neck, shoulders, lower back, and legs. The therapist may use their fingers, knuckles, elbows, or forearms to reach deeply into the muscle layers, gradually softening tight tissue and improving mobility.

This type of massage helps break up scar tissue, reduce inflammation, improve posture, and relieve long-standing muscle pain. While the pressure can be intense at times, it should remain within the client’s comfort level and is especially beneficial for athletes, individuals with chronic tension, or anyone seeking targeted, therapeutic relief.
