What Is Deep Tissue Massage Therapy & Why It’s Different
Deep tissue massage therapy is more than just a "deep rub." It’s a precise, therapeutic approach designed to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. By using slow, deliberate strokes and focused pressure, this technique breaks up scar tissue, eases chronic tension, and promotes faster healing.
Unlike Swedish massage, which is more about relaxation, deep tissue work focuses on relieving pain caused by stress, overuse, and injuries. Whether you’re an athlete, an office warrior, or dealing with persistent pain, this form of massage offers long-lasting relief and mobility restoration.
At Peninsula Acupuncture, our deep tissue sessions are tailored to your body's unique needs—never one-size-fits-all.
Is Muscle Tension Holding You Back?
That tight knot in your shoulder? The ache in your lower back that never fully fades? When muscle tension becomes a daily companion, it doesn't just affect your body—it hijacks your ability to think clearly, move freely, and feel at ease.
Deep tissue massage therapy addresses the tension that builds up from stress, poor posture, and physical exertion. Instead of just masking the pain, we work to release it at the source—so you can reclaim your mobility, mental clarity, and energy.
