What is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage is a hands-on therapy that targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It uses slow, firm pressure and specialized techniques to reach areas that are often affected by tension or overuse. Unlike general relaxation massage, this method is more focused and deliberate, using fingers, forearms, elbows, or knuckles to work into specific muscle groups. It’s typically used in a clinical or therapeutic setting and requires a trained, licensed deep tissue massage therapist who understands how to use and adjust pressure appropriately.

What to Expect During Your Deep Tissue Massage Session at Pulse Acupuncture in Brooklyn, NY
A deep tissue massage therapy session at Pulse Acupuncture in Brooklyn, NY is created to help you feel comfortable and supported. Your appointment begins with a one-on-one consultation where your massage therapist asks about your concerns, goals, and discomfort. This helps better personalize the session to your specific needs and pains.
After the consultation, you’ll be guided to a private, calm treatment room and asked to lie comfortably on a massage table. The therapist will give you a moment to relax and prepare before starting the massage. Sessions usually begin with lighter strokes to gradually warm up your muscles. This warm-up allows the deeper techniques that follow to be more effective and less intense on your body, making the treatment both more efficient and comfortable.
Once your muscles are ready, the deep tissue work begins. The therapist will use slow strokes and firm pressure to target the deeper muscle layers. This can include the use of hands, forearms, elbows, or knuckles to ease tightness and knots in problem areas like your shoulders, back, or legs.
If you have specific areas that need extra care, your therapist will focus more attention there to help ease any persistent tension. Sessions usually wrap up with a gentle cool-down phase, using lighter strokes again to help your body ease out of the treatment.
Throughout the entire process, be sure to speak up about whether you feel comfortable about the session or areas you’d like the therapist to avoid or focus on more.
