Deep tissue is not about pain. It is about slowing down enough that the muscle has time to respond. Our therapists sink in gradually, check in often, and stay with one area until it softens rather than chasing every knot at once.
Most guests book this for a specific reason: a shoulder that rides up toward the ear, calves that feel like rope after long runs, or a lower back that complains after a day at the desk. We start with a few minutes of broader work to warm the area, then move into slower strokes along the muscle fibers and sustained pressure on the tight spots.
You will likely feel some intensity, and that is fine, but you should always be able to breathe normally. If you catch yourself holding your breath or tensing up, tell your therapist and they will ease off. Drink water afterward and expect to feel pleasantly heavy for the rest of the day.
Plan a lighter day afterward. A warm shower, an early night and gentle walking all help the work settle, and your therapist can suggest two or three simple stretches to keep the area moving between visits.
Especially good for:
A rough guide from our therapists. Every element can be adjusted in the consult.

You point to the areas that bother you most and we agree on a pressure scale from one to ten.
Broad strokes and gentle compression across the back so deeper work never feels abrupt.
Slow pressure on the priority areas, with regular check-ins about intensity and breathing.
Lighter strokes over the whole body so you leave feeling balanced rather than worked over.
Timings are a guide and shift to suit you.

It can feel intense in places, but it should not hurt. We work within the pressure you choose and adjust as soon as you ask.
Many regulars book every three to four weeks. If you are working on one stubborn area, two sessions a couple of weeks apart is a good start.
Gentle movement and a warm shower help. Save intense workouts for the next day.
Yes. Ask for a blended session and your therapist will use firmer work on the problem areas and a lighter touch elsewhere.
Long, even strokes and warm oil for a week-weary body.
