Deep Tissue is a type of massage that accentuates firm strokes and focused pressure. Deep Tissue centers around reliving tension in the myofascial, the connective tissue surrounding our muscles.

The client will then finish the massage sitting up, which helps drain any built-up fluid or congestion that may have accumulated during the massage.
