Deep Tissue Massage

A massage can leave you feeling relaxed, loose, and pain-free, but those benefits don’t have to disappear after a day or two. With a few simple habits, you can extend the effects of your massage and support your body between sessions.

Should you get a deep tissue massage? It depends on your body, your goals, and how you feel about pressure. We’ll look at what’s feeling tight or sore, how much pressure you enjoy, and whether you’re seeking relaxation, relief, or recovery.

Massage isn’t just a luxury or an occasional treat. It’s a powerful tool for stress regulation. Massage has been shown to lower cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone, which plays a major role in anxiety, inflammation, fatigue, weight gain, and poor sleep.
