Find your comfortable level
Focused work for everyday tension
Deep tissue massage uses deliberate, firmer work to address deeper muscle layers. At Hands On HealthCare, it is a pressure style within our Therapeutic Massage, personalized to your needs rather than a fixed routine.
You might prefer this approach when you want more attention to a particular area or enjoy firmer pressure. Tell us where you feel tight and what you hope to get from your visit.
Active routines
Personalized work for muscles that feel tight with exercise, recreation or the demands of a physical job.
Your familiar tight spots
Time to work gradually in areas that need attention, balanced with the rest of your session.
Firm should still feel manageable.
Deep tissue is not a test of how much pressure you can tolerate. We check in, adjust the pace and ease off whenever needed. You should not have to endure pain to get a worthwhile massage.
If you have a recent injury, surgery, unexplained symptoms or a medical restriction, call before requesting a session. Tell us about your health history and medications so we can plan appropriate care.

Deep tissue massage questions
How much pressure should I ask for?
Start with what feels comfortable. Your therapist can gradually adjust pressure and pace. Speak up if you feel pain, tingling, numbness or the need to brace or hold your breath; you can ask for lighter pressure or stop at any time.
How often should I have a deep tissue massage?
There is no single schedule for everyone. Your goals, daily activities and response to the first session help guide whether and when another visit makes sense.
What should I wear?
Undress only to your comfort level in private. You remain appropriately draped, with only the area being treated uncovered. See what to expect at your visit.
Will I be sore afterward?
Some people notice temporary tenderness after firmer work. Soreness is not a goal or a sign of a better massage. Tell us how you respond so we can adjust your next visit; persistent or significant pain should be discussed with your health care provider.
Can I choose deep tissue while pregnant?
Please choose Prenatal Massage and tell the office about any complications or provider restrictions. Positioning and pressure are adapted for pregnancy rather than applying a standard deep tissue routine.
Is deep tissue the right choice for an injury?
Call first if you have an injury, unexplained pain or a medical condition. Medical Massage may be the better service, and new symptoms may need medical evaluation. Medical Massage is arranged with the office, not requested online.
