Deep Tissue Massage
Firm, focused therapy for chronic tension, muscle pain, and deep-held tightness
When surface-level massage isn't enough, deep tissue work reaches the layers where chronic tension lives. Roberto's deep tissue massage targets the deep muscle fibers and connective tissue that hold onto pain, stiffness, and restricted movement.
What makes Roberto's approach exceptional is his ability to apply firm, effective pressure without causing unnecessary pain. As client Steff A. described, Roberto has "a great balance of easing into muscles to not cause pain but really getting into the problem areas." This skill comes from extensive training and a genuine sensitivity to each client's body.
Deep tissue massage at Signal Point Massage goes beyond simply pressing harder. Roberto uses slow, deliberate strokes that work with the grain of your muscles, gradually breaking up adhesions and scar tissue. He focuses on the areas where you carry the most tension — whether that's your neck and shoulders from desk work, your lower back from physical activity, or chronic patterns you've carried for years.
Benefits
What Deep Tissue Massage Can Do for You
Chronic Pain Relief
Reach the deep muscle layers where chronic tension and pain originate, providing relief that lighter techniques can't achieve.
Break Up Adhesions
Dissolve bands of painful, rigid tissue that disrupt circulation, cause pain, limit movement, and create inflammation.
Muscle Recovery
Speed recovery from physical activity, reduce delayed onset muscle soreness, and maintain peak performance.
Reduced Stiffness
Restore flexibility to tight, overworked muscles so you can move more freely and comfortably throughout your day.
Ideal For
Deep tissue massage is particularly beneficial for people with chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain, those recovering from injuries or dealing with limited mobility, athletes and active individuals needing muscle recovery support, desk workers with repetitive strain and postural tension, and anyone who prefers firm pressure and wants to address deep-seated muscle issues. Roberto adapts his approach to each client, ensuring the pressure is effective while remaining within your comfort zone.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is deep tissue massage?
Deep tissue massage uses firm, sustained pressure and slow strokes to reach the deeper layers of muscle and fascia. It's particularly effective for chronic aches, pain, and areas of tension such as stiff necks, upper back tightness, low back pain, and sore shoulders.
Will deep tissue massage be painful?
Deep tissue work involves firm pressure, but it should never be unbearable. Roberto has a great balance of easing into muscles gradually to avoid causing pain while still effectively reaching problem areas. He communicates throughout and adjusts to your comfort level.
How is deep tissue different from trigger point therapy?
Deep tissue massage works broadly across muscle groups using sustained pressure to reach deeper layers. Trigger point therapy focuses on specific tight spots within muscles. Roberto often combines both techniques within a session for the most comprehensive results.
What should I do after a deep tissue massage?
Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins released during the massage. You may feel some soreness for 24-48 hours — this is normal and means the treatment is working. Gentle stretching and rest can help maximize the benefits of your session.
