Deep tissue massage focuses on releasing chronic tension held deep in the muscle and surrounding fascia, using slow, firm strokes. It is often the right choice for long-standing pain or stiffness that has built up over months or years.

Sports massage is more targeted around training cycles — it can be adapted to be lighter before an event to avoid soreness, or deeper afterward to support recovery.

Many clients benefit from both, depending on where they are in their training or recovery. Your therapist can help you decide which approach fits your current needs best.
