Deep tissue massage uses slow, sustained pressure to reach the deeper layers of muscle that lighter massage does not. It suits chronic tension from desk work as much as heavy training, and every session is adjusted to what your body can take.
Deep tissue work goes after the lower layers of muscle and the connective tissue around them, working through tension that has built up over months rather than easing the surface for an afternoon.
Chronic tightness in the neck, shoulders and lower back, strain from repetitive movement, and the stubborn spots that keep coming back are what this treatment is built for.
Deep tissue massage at Amor Therapies is combined with cupping or percussion therapy where it will genuinely help, rather than following one fixed routine for everyone.
An entry 30-minute session, a straightforward way to try deep tissue work.
A focused session for common desk-related issues, upper or lower body.
The complete 60-minute treatment when tension has had years to settle in.

Deep tissue massage is a treatment that uses slow, sustained pressure to reach the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It is used for chronic tension and stubborn tight spots rather than light relaxation.
Firm pressure can feel intense, but it should stay within your tolerance. The practitioner adjusts the pressure to your feedback, and mild soreness for a day or so afterwards is common and normal.
Sessions including deep tissue work start at £50 for a 30-minute Recovery Starter and run to £75 for the 60-minute Recovery Elite.
