Deep Tissue Massage
Targeting the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to release chronic tension, dissolve knots, and provide lasting pain relief — from $88.
Book via WhatsAppDeep tissue massage applies firm, sustained pressure to reach the deeper layers of muscle fibres and connective tissue (fascia). It is specifically designed to address chronic muscle tension, adhesions (knots), and areas of persistent pain that lighter massage cannot effectively reach.
At Nelly Wellness, deep tissue work is performed with precision — using thumbs, knuckles, and forearms to work slowly through layers of tension without causing unnecessary discomfort. Nelly's 16+ years of experience means she knows exactly where to apply pressure and how much.
Addresses deep-seated muscle tension causing lower back pain, neck stiffness, and shoulder aches.
Breaks up adhesions and tight muscle bands that restrict movement and cause localised pain.
Releases muscle imbalances that pull the body out of alignment, improving posture over time.
Supports rehabilitation by increasing blood flow to injured areas and reducing scar tissue.
Restores range of motion in stiff joints and tight muscles, making everyday movement easier.
Releases tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back that commonly triggers headaches.
Deep tissue sessions begin with a thorough consultation to identify your specific problem areas — whether that is a stiff neck from desk work, lower back pain, or a recurring sports injury. Nelly will explain the approach before beginning.
The massage starts with lighter strokes to warm up the muscles before gradually working deeper. You may feel some discomfort as knots are worked through — this is normal and should feel like a 'productive' pressure rather than sharp pain. Always communicate with Nelly if you need adjustments.
It is common to experience mild soreness for 24–48 hours after a deep tissue session, similar to the feeling after a good workout. Drinking water and applying a warm compress helps speed recovery. Most clients notice significant relief from chronic pain within 2–3 regular sessions.
🪨 Hot stone massage is complimentary with any session above.
Book via WhatsAppYou may feel some discomfort as Nelly works through tight muscles and knots — often described as a 'good pain.' However, it should never feel sharp or unbearable. Nelly constantly checks in on your comfort and adjusts pressure accordingly.
Many clients feel significant relief after just one session. For chronic tension or long-standing pain, a course of 3–6 sessions spaced 1–2 weeks apart is recommended for lasting results.
Yes. Deep tissue massage pairs well with cupping therapy or hot stone add-ons, which further loosen tight muscles and improve circulation. Nelly can recommend the best combination for your needs.
Deep tissue massage is not recommended during pregnancy, or for people with blood clots, osteoporosis, or recent surgery. Please let Nelly know of any medical conditions before booking.
Deep tissue massage uses firm, sustained pressure to work through deeper muscle layers and address chronic tension or pain. Swedish massage uses lighter, flowing strokes focused on overall relaxation. If you're unsure which is right for you, Nelly can advise during your consultation.
