Deep tissue massage is designed to target tension held in the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. This therapy uses slow, firm pressure to break down knots, release built-up stress, and improve mobility in areas where chronic pain or stiffness may exist. At R&R Therapeutic Massage in Pleasant Hill, your session is tailored to address specific concerns such as lower back pain, shoulder tightness, or limited range of motion.
During the massage, your therapist will focus on problem areas using techniques like cross-fiber friction, sustained pressure, and deep gliding strokes. Some areas may feel tender during the session, but the process is always controlled and supportive.
Afterward, many clients report feeling noticeably looser, more mobile, and deeply relaxed. Some mild soreness can occur, especially after your first session, but it typically leads to lasting relief. Deep tissue massage is ideal for those seeking focused, effective care that creates real change.
