Verified listingWhat is deep tissue massage?
Deep tissue massage uses slow, firm strokes and sustained pressure to reach the deeper layers of muscle and the connective tissue around them. Where Swedish massage glides over the surface, deep tissue works into it, using forearms, elbows and knuckles as well as hands to release adhesions and chronic tension.
It is the treatment for tightness that does not respond to gentle work: a stiff neck from desk work, a lower back that seizes after driving, shoulders that have been set for years. Some discomfort during the session is normal and should sit at the edge of what feels productive, never beyond it; a good therapist will ask you to rate it and adjust.
Afterwards you may feel tender for a day or two, much like after exercise. Drinking water and taking a warm bath helps. Sessions are usually 60 or 90 minutes and it is common to book a course of three or four a few weeks apart for a long-standing problem.

Where to find it in Brighton
Couples treatments, four hands sessions and Ayurvedic, lomi lomi and shiatsu practitioners are common here rather than occasional, and many therapists combine massage with yoga, reiki or nutrition. Kemptown is the centre of that scene and has been for decades; Hove is calmer and more residential, with pregnancy and remedial specialists and longer daytime appointments; Seven Dials sits between the two. Sports massage clusters around the seafront runners and the swimming crowd.
