Deep Tissue / Trigger Point Release / Pin and Stretch

Deep tissue massage focuses on areas of persistent tension, restriction, and muscular discomfort. Rather than using heavy pressure throughout the entire treatment, the approach is gradual and intentional, allowing the therapist to work through the more superficial layers before sinking to the depth needed to access deeper soft tissue. Pressure is adjusted based on the area being treated, the condition of the tissue, and your comfort level. Targeted techniques may be used to address trigger points and reduce localized tension, helping improve mobility, ease discomfort, and support more comfortable movement.

Trigger points are sensitive areas within a muscle that can feel tight, tender, or refer discomfort to another part of the body. They are typically addressed using sustained pressure, gentle compression, and movement-based techniques to help the tissue relax, reduce tension, and restore more comfortable movement.

Pin and stretch techniques combine sustained pressure with guided movement to target specific muscles and areas of restriction. By gently anchoring the tissue while the muscle is lengthened, this approach can help reduce tension, improve mobility, and support more comfortable movement.
