A deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique using sustained, deep pressure and slow strokes to release chronic muscle tension and break up knots in deep layers of muscle and connective tissue. It is effective for addressing issues like chronic pain, limited mobility, sports injuries, and repetitive strain injuries
