More than a relaxing massage

When tension shows up every time you turn your head or sit down.

A deep tissue massage uses more pressure and more focus than a relaxing massage. We start by asking where you feel the load, what your routine looks like and which movements bother you, so we can spend the time on those areas.

It is a good option if you spend long hours at a computer, drive, train or lift. If you have intense pain, tingling or a recent injury, we recommend checking with a health professional first.

01

Focus on your area

We dedicate the time to your upper back, neck, shoulders or lower back, based on what you tell us.

02

Pressure your way

Firm does not mean painful: we adjust the intensity with you throughout the session.

03

A looser feeling

Many people leave moving their neck and shoulders more comfortably.

04

Helpful habits

We share simple breaks and stretches to look after the work done.

How the session works

A session organized by area.

There is no fixed recipe: the session is built around the tension you carry right now.

  1. 01

    We talk

    You tell us where you feel tension, about your routine and any sensitive areas.

  2. 02

    We warm up the muscle

    We begin with gentle strokes to warm the area before going deeper.

  3. 03

    We work with focus

    We apply firm, targeted pressure on the most loaded spots, always adjusted to you.

  4. 04

    We close with tips

    We finish gently and leave you with ideas for breaks and stretches at home or work.

How it feels

Intense at first, lighter on the way out.

During the session you may feel deep pressure on certain spots; you can always ask for lighter. The goal is for you to get up with looser shoulders and a sense of relief in the area we worked.

We take care with what you share. If you have a health condition, are pregnant, had surgery or feel pain that won't ease, let us know beforehand. In some cases it is best to check with your doctor first.

How to combine it

A one-off session or part of your routine.

Some people come when the load builds up; others make it a habit.

One-off session
  • After an intense week.
  • After a long trip or many hours driving.
  • When your neck no longer turns comfortably.
  • With tips for home.
Care routine
  • Sessions as often as works for you.
  • Can be combined with muscle relief and recovery.
  • Follow-up on the areas you load most.
  • Adjustments based on how your body responds.

Frequently asked questions

Before your deep tissue massage.

How is it different from a relaxing massage?

A relaxing massage slows you down with soft, enveloping pressure. A deep tissue massage uses firmer pressure and focuses on the areas with the most tension.

Does it hurt?

Some spots may feel intense, but it should never be pain you have to endure. We adjust the pressure with you at all times.

How often should I come?

It depends on your routine and how your body responds. We'll talk it through after your first session.

Can you see me at home?

Yes, if you have your own massage table at home. If you don't, we'll see you at our studio in Obarrio.

Is it suitable if I have an injury?

With a recent injury, intense pain or tingling, check with a health professional first. Massage is a wellbeing complement, not a medical treatment.
