What is a deep tissue massage?
As the name suggests, a deep tissue massage therapy is a specific technique that focuses on the deepest layers of muscles, tendons and fascia (protective layer around the muscles, joints and bones).
A deep tissue massage involves slow but firm strokes and deep finger pressure.
Many doctors and physiotherapists recommend this type of therapy for treating various conditions such as chronic pain, stress etc.

For many centuries, massages have been used to reduce stress and promote overall well-being.
