What it is

What is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep Tissue Massage uses slower strokes and firmer pressure than a Swedish session. The therapist reaches the deeper muscle layers — the ones that hold onto stress in the upper back, between the shoulder blades, and along the sides of the neck.

It is not about pain. A good Deep Tissue hour feels like steady, focused work — the kind that loosens a knot you've been carrying for weeks. Most guests in North Hollywood book this after long desk days, hard workouts, or when one stubborn spot just will not let go.

Desk workers

Hours at a screen build up in the upper back and shoulders. A firm hour resets the area so you can sit through Monday again.

After workout

Heavy training day or long run? Deep Tissue flushes tired muscles and helps the next session feel easier on the legs and shoulders.

For the stiff side of the neck and that one spot between the shoulder blades that never quite lets go. Steady pressure, not painful.

During your visit

What to expect during your Deep Tissue Massage.

Firm, focused, and unhurried — from check-in to the last stroke.

At check-in, your therapist will ask where the tightness lives — upper back, shoulders, lower back, neck. Tell them about any sore spots from training or sleeping wrong. They will plan the hour around those areas.

The session starts with a few minutes of warming strokes to bring blood into the muscle. Then the pressure builds. The therapist works slowly with forearms, palms, and thumbs — pausing on tight spots, easing off when needed. Breathe through it. Tell them anytime if you want lighter or firmer pressure.

The last few minutes ease back to gentler strokes so the body settles. Drink the water at the front desk. Some guests feel a little tender the next morning — that is normal. By day two, the area usually feels much looser than before.

Common questions

Deep Tissue Massage questions.

Will it hurt?

It shouldn't. Deep Tissue is firm but not painful. If the pressure becomes too much, tell your therapist — they will ease off. A good session feels like steady, satisfying work, not a fight.

Will I be sore the next day?

Some guests feel a little tender the next morning, similar to a workout. Drink water and move gently. By day two the area usually feels much looser. If you want zero soreness, try Swedish Massage instead.

How often should I come for back tension?

If you are working through stubborn shoulder tightness, every 2–3 weeks for the first month helps. After that, once a month is usually enough to keep the area loose.

Can I get Deep Tissue on just one area?

Yes — book a 30-minute session for focused work on the upper back, lower back, or neck and shoulders. Tell us the area when you text and we'll plan around it.

Is Deep Tissue safe after a workout?

Yes, and it helps recovery. Wait a few hours after heavy training so the muscles are not still inflamed. For a calmer post-workout option, Stress Relief Massage also works well.
