Deep Tissue Massage
Our deep tissue massage goes beyond relaxation – it’s designed to target stubborn muscle tension, chronic pain, and deep-seated knots. Our skilled Registered Massage Therapists use slow, firm pressure to release tight fascia, improve mobility, and support recovery from injuries or overuse.
What is Deep Tissue Massage?
Think of deep tissue massage as your muscles’ ultimate reset button. It’s a therapeutic massage technique that uses slow, firm pressure to reach those stubborn layers of muscle and fascia (the connective tissue around your muscles) that other massages just can’t quite touch.
Perfect for chronic pain, post-workout soreness, or tension from hours at your desk, deep tissue massage helps break up “knots,” release built-up stress, and improve circulation – leaving you looser, lighter, and ready to take on the world.
At Oak Integrative, our deep tissue massage isn’t one-size-fits-all – we customize each session to focus on the areas that need the most love (hello, tight shoulders and lower back!).
What are the Benefits?
Supports Injury Recovery
From sports injuries to repetitive strain, deep tissue massage encourages circulation and healing while reducing scar tissue buildup.
Releases Muscle Tension & Knots
By working through stubborn adhesions, it helps “melt away” tight spots, leaving your body feeling looser and more relaxed.
Improves Mobility & Flexibility
Freeing up tight muscles allows your joints to move more easily – perfect for athletes, weekend warriors, or anyone feeling stiff.
Relieves Chronic Pain
Deep tissue massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and fascia, easing long-standing pain in areas like the neck, shoulders, and lower back.
Reduces Stress & Boosts Well-Being
The firm, focused pressure doesn’t just help the body – it calms the mind, lowers stress hormones, and leaves you feeling balanced and refreshed.
More Pressure. More Relief.
Sometimes your muscles need more than a light touch – they need a focused, intentional reset. Our deep tissue massage uses slow, steady pressure to work through tension, stubborn knots, and tight fascia, bringing relief where you need it most. The result? Less pain, more movement, and a body that finally feels like yours again.
What to Expect During a Session
Your session begins with a consultation to identify specific areas of tension or discomfort. Using a combination of slow, firm strokes and targeted pressure, your RMT will work through deeper layers of muscle and fascia. We use high-quality therapeutic oils to ensure smooth, comfortable movement and to soothe the skin during treatment.
You may experience mild tenderness afterward as your muscles adjust, but this typically subsides within a day or two — leaving you with improved flexibility, reduced pain, and a greater sense of ease.
Sessions are 60 minutes, and intensity is always adjusted to your comfort level.
