Deep tissue breaks apart patterns of holding, moving, and being in the body that are no longer serving the individual. It unravels some of the connections made in haste or in habit and allows the body to reconfigure, rethink, and reorganize. 

Deep tissue massage is the specific application of pressure to the body that addresses both the superficial and deeper layers of muscles and surrounding connective tissue. Various techniques of manipulation are used such as deep pressure, flushing, friction, trigger point relief, breaking apart of scar tissue, and tapotement (tapping or pounding on tense areas of the body). Specific injuries, pre/post surgeries, occupational stresses, and sport or hobby related stresses are addressed to uncover the root of discomfort or dis-ease in the structure.
