This isn't your typical relaxation massage. Therapeutic and deep tissue work uses slow, deliberate pressure to access deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. I target chronic tension patterns, adhesions, and trigger points that cause pain, restricted movement, and compensation patterns throughout your body.
The pressure is customized to what your tissues can handle—deep doesn't mean painful. This is about working *with* your body's natural release mechanisms, not forcing through them.
Pain that radiates or refers to other areas. Tension headaches, sciatica, or discomfort that spreads beyond the original site.
Limited range of motion or stiffness. Difficulty turning your head, reaching overhead, or bending without compensation.
Sports-related tightness or recurring injuries. Training-induced muscle tension, IT band issues, or areas that never fully recover.
Chronic tension in neck, shoulders, or back. Desk work, driving, or repetitive movements creating persistent tightness and discomfort.
After releasing tight areas, I help your body integrate the changes through gentle movement and stretching. You'll leave with specific self-care guidance—stretches, foam rolling techniques, or postural cues to maintain the work between sessions.
Using slow, sustained pressure and specific techniques (trigger point therapy, myofascial release, cross-fiber friction), I work through layers of tissue to release adhesions and restore mobility. You'll guide the pressure—this should feel intense but never unbearable.
We start with a conversation about your pain patterns, movement limitations, and what you're hoping to address. I'll assess your posture and range of motion to identify compensation patterns.
Deep pressure work activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping your body shift out of chronic stress response and into a healing state.
Muscles work more efficiently when they're not chronically tight, leading to better recovery, reduced injury risk, and increased performance capacity.
You'll notice how you hold tension and where you brace, making it easier to make conscious shifts in your daily movement patterns.
Chronic tension patterns release, range of motion improves, and pain decreases as your body stops compensating for restricted areas.
