Deep Tissue Massage Burnaby
What is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic massage technique that targets deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues using sustained pressure and slow strokes. Unlike Swedish massage which focuses on relaxation, this deep tissue massage approach concentrates on releasing muscle tension, breaking down scar tissue through deep tissue release, and restoring normal movement patterns. Our registered massage therapist applies firm, controlled pressure to reach underlying muscle layers and deeper muscle tissue, providing lasting relief from persistent pain conditions through effective deep tissue massage treatment.
Our team of massage therapists combines traditional massage techniques with modern myofascial release methods and deep tissue massage therapy, creating a treatment experience that addresses both immediate discomfort and long-term healing. Working alongside physiotherapy professionals, we ensure comprehensive care that addresses both the physical and rehabilitative aspects of your recovery through specialized deep tissue massage protocols.

When Should You Consider Deep Tissue Massage in Burnaby
Active lifestyle and demanding work environments contribute to specific muscle strain patterns we see daily at our clinic. Consider this therapy if you experience persistent neck stiffness from lengthy commutes, lower back pain from desk work, or shoulder tension from recreational activities.
Specific scenarios include:
- Chronic pain lasting more than 12 weeks despite rest
- Sports injuries from hockey, hiking, or gym training requiring rehabilitation therapy and deep tissue massage intervention
- Workplace tension from repetitive computer tasks affecting deeper layers of muscle tissue
- Post-surgical rehabilitation requiring gentle tissue massage therapy, often in conjunction with physiotherapy and pain management strategies
- Stress-related muscle tension affecting sleep quality and daily function
Deep tissue massage can be particularly beneficial for athletes and active individuals who need specialized recovery protocols.
Local factors like colder weather can increase joint stiffness, making therapeutic massages particularly beneficial during fall and winter months. Our massage therapy clients report 85% improvement in pain levels within their first deep tissue treatment series.

How Does Deep Tissue Massage Work?
The science behind deep tissue massage centers on mechanotransduction - how mechanical pressure influences cellular healing processes in muscle tissue. Deep tissue massage stimulates blood flow by 40 to 60%, delivering oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissue while removing metabolic waste products that contribute to inflammation and chronic pain. This therapy approach contrasts with Swedish massage, which focuses primarily on relaxation rather than therapeutic intervention.
Research shows that deep tissue massage can reduce cortisol levels by up to 30%, helping the body's natural healing mechanisms function more effectively.
Treatment process involves:
Assessment phase: Identifying specific tension patterns and trigger points in deep muscle layers
Warm-up period: Preparing superficial muscle layers with lighter pressure massage techniques
Deep work: Applying sustained pressure along muscle fibers to release adhesions in connective tissues
Integration: Gentle movement to restore normal tissue function and pain relief
Expect initial benefits within 24 to 48 hours, with cumulative improvements building over 4 to 6 sessions. Most clients experience significant chronic pain reduction and improved range of motion by their third deep tissue massage session. This deep tissue massage approach complements traditional physiotherapy methods for comprehensive healing and functional therapy outcomes.
