First sessionis best at 90 minutes — the body needs the runway.

We start with intake — five minutes, conversation about what brought you in and what you've already tried. Then assessment on the table, fully clothed: range checks, palpation, finding the patterns your body is holding. Work begins with broad warming, narrows to specifics, finishes with a slow integration. Pressure is conversational. If it's too much, you say. If it's not enough, you say. The goal is never the deepest pressure — it's the right pressure.

§ 11 · Who

Ideal for. Active adults & held bodies.

Active adults, desk workers, and anyone dealing with persistent muscle tension or pain. Athletes between training blocks, runners between races, climbers between projects. People whose work asks too much of one specific area for too many hours.

§ 12 · When

Choose another instead if. The body needs a different touch.

If you're looking for full-body relaxation without specific work, ask about an Integrated Session. If you're pregnant, the Prenatal protocol uses safer positioning. Recent surgery, anticoagulants, or active oncology treatment — flag at intake; some bookings hold for owner pre-review by design.

Common questions. About this modality specifically.

§ 13 · Ask
Will deep tissue hurt?
It can be intense; it should not be sharp pain. The right pressure feels like productive discomfort that softens as the tissue lets go. If a single technique is past your edge, name it — we adjust without losing the session.
How is this different from Swedish?
Swedish stays at the surface and uses long, even strokes for general relaxation. Deep tissue works through layers, often on smaller areas, with sustained pressure and slower pacing. Different tool, different goal.
How often should I get deep tissue?
For maintenance, monthly is plenty. For recovery from a specific pattern, weekly for three to six weeks then taper. For acute athletic load, schedule around your event — never the day of, ideally seventy-two hours before or three days after.
Can deep tissue help with sciatica?
It can address the muscular contributors — piriformis tightness, lumbar tension, glute medius weakness — without claiming to treat the nerve itself. Bring your provider's notes; if the case is new or progressing, see them first.
