Experience A Deep Tissue Massage Here in Sherwood Park
Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It involves applying firm pressure and slow strokes to target specific areas of tension and chronic muscle pain.
This type of massage is particularly beneficial for individuals with chronic pain, limited mobility, or recovering from injury, as it helps to break up scar tissue and adhesions, improve blood circulation, and promote overall relaxation.
The focus of the DT massage is to help release chronic patterns of tension in the body. Depending on how “deep” the Deep Tissue massage is, clients can experience some discomfort as tension releases. Each client dictates the depth of the massage based on their individual comfort level.
Afterward, you may have some soreness, but you will experience an array of benefits, including: significantly improved circulation, increased range and mobility, enhance athletic performance, reduce inflammation, break up scar tissue, improve posture, improved sleep, and an overall feeling of wellness

Frequently Asked Questions
These are some of the most common queries our clients have before their first deep tissue massage:
Does It Hurt?
Deep tissue work requires pressure, but it shouldn’t cause pain. Tell your therapist if anything feels too intense. Some soreness afterward in extremely tight areas is normal as muscles relax, but it shouldn’t be painful.
How Long Until I Feel Relief?
For many clients, the effects are often immediate, and build over sessions as tissues release further. Most people will initially feel improved circulation and range of motion, with deeper-seated tensions unwinding after 3-6 sessions as muscles learn to relax.
What if I Have an Injury or Scar Tissue?
Our therapists are experienced in performing gentle yet effective massages, even around injuries, as long as they’ve been medically cleared. Deep tissue massage can aid healing while easing related pain.
Will I Feel Sore Later?
Some achiness within the 48 hours following a session is expected as the unused muscles that held tension start freeing. This soreness is a good sign, as it shows your body is releasing stressful holding patterns. Movement and light stretches can help work it out.
