Deep Tissue Massage
Burnaby Metrotown & Coquitlam Square
Deep tissue massage is a focused, therapeutic technique designed to target deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It uses slow, deliberate strokes and firm pressure to help release long-standing tension, break down adhesions, and restore natural mobility. This type of massage is especially helpful for individuals with chronic tightness, postural strain, athletic overuse, or discomfort that keeps returning despite stretching or lighter forms of massage.
At Motion Pro Health, our trained therapists provide deep tissue sessions that are precise, safe, and tailored to your comfort level. The goal is to relieve deep muscular tension while supporting overall movement, recovery, and long-term well-being.

How Deep Tissue Massage Works
Deep tissue massage focuses on slow, intentional techniques that reach deeper muscle fibers and connective tissue. Rather than using forceful or abrupt pressure, your therapist works gradually into the layers to release long-standing tension patterns, areas of restriction, and fascial adhesions.
This approach helps the body:
-
reduce accumulated muscular stiffness
-
improve blood flow and tissue hydration
-
restore natural movement patterns
-
calm overstimulated or fatigued muscles
-
support recovery after strenuous activity
Deep tissue massage is often chosen by clients who experience chronic neck and back tension, hip tightness, shoulder discomfort, stress-related tightness, or stiffness from repetitive daily habits.
Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage can create meaningful improvements in both immediate comfort and long-term mobility. Clients often notice:
- Relief from chronic pain and deep muscle tension
- Improved posture through release of tight, compensating muscles
- Increased flexibility and movement ease
- Enhanced recovery from physical activity or past injuries
- Reduction in discomfort related to repetitive strain or desk posture
- Better body awareness and overall relaxation
This form of massage is ideal for individuals who want a more focused, therapeutic approach to soft-tissue work.
A Tailored, Comfortable Experience
Deep tissue massage does not need to be painful to be effective. Your therapist works at a pressure level that is firm yet comfortable, checking in regularly to ensure the session remains within your preferred range.
Techniques may include slow, deep strokes, targeted pressure, myofascial work, and focused stretching—combined thoughtfully to support your comfort and your goals.
Each session is individualized, ensuring you receive safe, effective care designed around your body.
