Deep Tissue Massage – release chronic tension
When classic massage is no longer enough: deep tissue massage reaches deeper muscle layers and fascia. Slow, targeted strokes release even stubborn tension – for noticeable relief from chronic complaints.
When is deep tissue massage beneficial?
Chronic Tension
Tightness that has persisted for weeks or months and does not respond to gentle massage
Fascial adhesions
Restricted mobility due to adhesions in connective tissue – typical after lack of exercise
Athletic demands
Recovery after intense training, muscle soreness, sport-related overload
Neck-shoulder syndrome
Deep tightness in the trapezius and shoulder area from poor posture
SI joint complaints
Pain in the sacroiliac joint area from shortened and tense hip muscles
After injuries
Address scar tissue and protective postures (after medical clearance)

Massage 90 min.
For chronic complaints, I recommend 90 minutes – enough time for thorough deep work.
Complement: Acupressure (health insurance)
For chronic or stress-related complaints, acupressure can complement massage effectively. The TCM approach regulates the nervous system sustainably – and is covered by health insurance via supplementary cover.
FAQ – Deep Tissue Massage
The pressure is more intense than in a classic massage but should never be unbearable. The intensity is always adjusted to your sensation.
For chronic complaints I recommend weekly sessions over 4–6 weeks initially. After that one session every 2–4 weeks is often enough for maintenance.
On the day of the treatment light movement is ideal; intensive training is better the next day. Drinking plenty of water supports recovery.
