Deep tissue massage at The Therapy Studio, Rimington

Deep tissue massage uses slower, firmer strokes to reach the deeper layers of muscle and fascia, easing long-standing tightness in the back, neck, shoulders and legs. At The Therapy Studio in Rimington a 60-minute treatment is £65 and a 90-minute treatment is £85.

What it is good for

Chronic tension from desk work or driving, stiff shoulders and necks, tight hips and calves, and areas that a lighter massage never quite reaches.

Pressure is always worked up to gradually. Deeper does not mean harder for the sake of it — it means slower and more specific.

How it fits with other treatment

Deep tissue work sits naturally alongside sports massage and remedial treatment, and can be combined with stretching and rehab advice.

If pain is coming from something other than muscle, Steph will say so and point you in the right direction.

Aftercare and what to expect

  • Drink water and move gently for the rest of the day.
  • Tenderness for 24 to 48 hours is common after deeper work.
  • A warm bath or shower afterwards usually helps.

Common questions

How is deep tissue different from a relaxing massage?

A Swedish or holistic massage works more broadly for relaxation. Deep tissue is slower and more specific, aimed at a particular area of tightness.

Will I be sore afterwards?

Often a little, for a day or so. That usually settles quickly with water and gentle movement.

How much is deep tissue massage?

£65 for 60 minutes or £85 for 90 minutes.

How often should I have one?

Some people come monthly for maintenance, others only when something flares up. Steph will suggest what makes sense for you.

Is it suitable if I have a medical condition?

Tell Steph about any conditions, medication or recent injuries when you book and she will confirm whether it is appropriate.
