Deep tissue massage is a way of rubbing the muscles in your body to help them feel better. The massage therapist uses strong pressure and slow movements to get rid of tight spots and knots in the muscles. This massage is great for people who have pain that does not go away or for athletes who work hard. It might hurt a little during the massage, but many people feel much better afterwards. After a deep tissue massage you may feel more relaxed and be able to move more easily.
