If a therapist does not offer deep tissue massage, it means they do not provide or specialize in that particular massage technique. Deep tissue massage is a specific type of massage therapy that involves applying firm pressure and slow strokes to target deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues. It is often used to relieve chronic muscle tension, injuries, and adhesions (knots) in the muscles.
Therapists have different training and expertise, and they may choose to focus on specific modalities or techniques that align with their skills and experience. Some therapists might specialize in Swedish massage, sports massage, relaxation massage, Thai massage, or other forms of bodywork. They will typically advertise their services and specialties so that potential clients can know what to expect.
If you are looking for a deep tissue massage specifically and your current therapist does not offer it, you can consider seeking out a different therapist who specializes in deep tissue massage or the specific type of massage you desire. Always communicate your preferences and needs with the therapist before the session to ensure you receive the treatment that best suits you.
