But is it deep tissue massage? I saw an advertisement for a spa recently advertising deep tissue massage. Unfortunately their description showed they didn't even know what deep tissue massage was. Many therapists think it is just a deep massage with lots of pain. Anyone can do a deep massage but few have the skills to perform a deep tissue massage. |

You will find many, many different descriptions of deep tissue massage if you search the web. If you think everyone has a different opinion, most do. Deep tissue massage encompasses many styles of massage and philosophy but the underlying principle is it must be deep. Deep does not have to mean painful, although it can be uncomfortable.
Basically long, slow gliding techniques are used to get to to the deeper tissues of the musculoskeletal system. Frequently the deeper layers are massaged (almost squeezed between) the superficial layers and the bones underneath.
