Deep Tissue Massage Belfast
Belfast · Deep tissue massage
Slow, firm massage that works into deep muscle tension
A firm, slower-paced massage that works through the deeper layers of muscle to release stubborn knots, long-standing tightness and the aches a lighter massage does not reach. Good for chronic neck, shoulder and back tension, and for anyone who likes real pressure.
Training regularly and want work on specific areas? Sports massage is more targeted (60 mins £45).
“I had an extremely painful trapped nerve between my shoulder blades causing range of motion and mobility issues. A 1 hour treatment here done the magic!”

Benefits
Benefits of deep tissue massage
01
Releases deep tension
Slow, firm strokes work through the upper layers to reach muscle that a lighter massage leaves untouched.
02
Eases stubborn knots
Targeted pressure on the tight bands and trigger points that build up over months.
03
Relieves back and shoulder pain
Helps with the chronic neck, shoulder and lower back tightness that comes from desk work and driving.
04
Improves mobility
Releasing shortened muscle helps restore range of movement and makes everyday movement easier.
05
Releases held stress
Deep work on the shoulders, neck and upper back helps release tension you may not notice you are holding.
06
Longer-lasting relief
Because it works deeper, the relief tends to last longer than a relaxation massage.

Questions
Deep tissue massage FAQs
What is deep tissue massage?
A firm, slower massage that works through the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, using sustained pressure to reach tension that a relaxation massage does not.
Does deep tissue massage hurt?
It should feel like firm, manageable pressure rather than pain. Tight areas can feel tender as they release. Tell your therapist what you are feeling and the pressure is adjusted to suit you.
What is the difference between deep tissue and sports massage?
Deep tissue works through the deeper layers across broader areas, usually for long-standing tension. Sports massage is more targeted at the muscles used in training and recovery. Both are £45 for 60 minutes.
Will I be sore afterwards?
Some people feel a mild ache for a day or so, a bit like after exercise. Drinking water and keeping gently active helps it settle.
Should I book 60 or 90 minutes?
60 minutes suits one or two areas such as the back, neck and shoulders. 90 minutes allows a full body treatment with time to work properly through each area.
How often should I come?
For long-standing tension, every two to four weeks to begin with, then less often as things settle. Your therapist will advise.
