Deep Tissue Massage is a focused, therapeutic treatment designed to target the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. At Kolkata Spa, our certified therapists use steady, firm pressure and specialized techniques to release chronic muscle tension, break down adhesions (knots), and improve circulation and flexibility.
This therapy is especially effective for people who suffer from persistent aches, restricted movement, sports-related tension, or repetitive-strain issues. Every session is tailored to your body — our therapists assess your needs and adapt pressure, pace, and technique to achieve lasting relief.
Deep Tissue Massage works by applying sustained pressure using slow strokes and targeted finger, knuckle, forearm, or elbow techniques to reach deeper layers of muscle and fascia. This approach helps to mechanically break down scar tissue and adhesions, reduce inflammation, and stimulate blood flow to encourage healing.
Sessions typically begin with a consultation and light warming techniques to prepare the muscles. Your therapist will then focus on the specific areas of concern—such as the neck, shoulders, lower back, or hips—working systematically to release tightness while staying responsive to your comfort level.
Aftercare is important: gentle stretching, hydration, and short periods of rest help consolidate the benefits of the treatment and reduce any post-massage soreness.
At Kolkata Spa, our Deep Tissue Massage is delivered by experienced therapists trained in advanced bodywork techniques. We prioritize a clinical yet comforting approach — assessing posture, movement patterns, and any areas of chronic strain before beginning treatment. Sessions are available in different durations to suit busy schedules or more in-depth therapeutic needs.
Common conditions that benefit from deep tissue therapy include lower back pain, chronic neck and shoulder tension, postural imbalances, sports injuries, and restricted movement after repetitive work or exercise. While many clients experience dramatic reductions in pain and improved mobility after just a few sessions, we often recommend a short series of treatments for chronic issues to achieve the best long-term results.
Deep Tissue Massage is ideal for adults with chronic muscular issues or those seeking therapeutic recovery. It is not recommended for people with certain conditions such as acute inflammation, deep vein thrombosis, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or during pregnancy unless cleared by a healthcare provider. Please inform our team of any medical conditions before booking.
