Deep tissue therapy is a strong massage technique that penetrates into our deeper muscles and tissues, which lie underneath one or two layers of superficial muscles.  Long-term tension in these deeper muscles is often the cause of our stiffness, restricted movement and many aches and pains.

As the name implies, the purpose of DTM (Deep Tissue Massage) is to release tension in the deeper muscles of the body, which we are not able to de-stress by ourselves,  This method produces results beyond what can be achieved by the typical relaxation, remedial or therapeutic massage.

Specifically, the method is to apply a firm, penetrating pressure on the trouble spots, and to maintain that pressure until the deeper muscles release their tension. 

The patient can dictate the pace of the therapy according to what pressure level is comfortable for him.  We believe that the "no pain, no gain" principle has limited applications, and our aim is for patients to enjoy their treatments, as well as gaining the benefits, including relief from pain.
