Deep Tissue Massage in Edmonton
Deep Tissue Massage
What is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscles, tendons, and connective tissues. Unlike relaxation massage, this treatment uses slower, more concentrated pressure to release chronic tension and restore proper muscle function. It is commonly used to treat long-term aches, stiffness, and mobility restrictions caused by stress, repetitive movement, or injuries.
What are the Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep tissue massage offers a range of therapeutic benefits, including:
-
Relief from chronic muscle pain and tightness
-
Improved posture and mobility by releasing restrictions in deeper tissues
-
Reduced stress and tension through improved circulation and relaxation
-
Support for injury recovery by increasing blood flow to promote tissue healing
-
Enhanced overall wellness by easing physical discomfort and restoring balance
This treatment is an excellent option for people with persistent pain, athletes managing muscle strain, or anyone seeking long-lasting relief from tension.
What to Expect During Your Deep Tissue Massage in Edmonton
During your first session, your massage therapist will discuss your concerns, health history, and areas of discomfort to create a personalized treatment plan. The massage involves slow, firm pressure and may focus on specific problem areas, such as the neck, shoulders, back, or legs. While some clients experience mild soreness afterward, this usually subsides quickly and is followed by noticeable relief and improved mobility.
At Shift Physiotherapy & Wellness, our goal is to provide a comfortable, supportive environment where each deep tissue massage session is tailored to your needs—helping you recover, relax, and feel your best.
