PrimeVerified 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.
Read the full guide to deep tissue massage — what it involves, who it suits and what it costs. Also known as deep pressure massage, firm massage and deep muscle massage.
Where to find it in Newcastle
Jesmond holds most of the resident independent therapists, in flats and clinics around Osborne Road, and is where continuity with the same practitioner is easiest to find. The Quayside and the city centre cover the hotel trade and the business visitors, largely by mobile appointment, with weekend availability tighter than midweek because of the city's popularity for celebrations. Gosforth is quieter, residential and books further ahead than anywhere else in the city, with reflexology and holistic therapists well represented.
