Therapeutic Massage
It's not about how deep you go - it's how you go deep.
Therapeutic massage targets muscle knots (also known as "adhesions") and specific problem areas in the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Using deliberate, slow strokes or friction across the grain of the muscle, I address chronic tight or painful muscles, repetitive strain, postural problems, or injuries.
While it's true that the pressure of deep tissue may be more intense than that of a Swedish massage, it shouldn't have to be painful to be effective.
If you think it has to hurt to help, or come saying “just beat me up!” I am not the therapist for you.
