Deep Tissue Massage in Mesa, AZ
Licensed deep tissue massage in Mesa, AZ at Best Estie Day Spa. By appointment only. Call (480) 202-0720.
Firm, focused, and specific
Deep tissue is firm work aimed at knots, sore muscles, and chronic unrelenting pain. Where Swedish moves broadly, deep tissue concentrates. Your therapist spends the session on the areas actually causing you trouble rather than covering everything evenly.
It should not be an ordeal
The most common worry we hear is that deep tissue will hurt. Firm pressure is used on tight areas, but the pressure is calibrated to you and adjusted continuously based on your feedback. Discomfort that makes you brace is counterproductive: a body that tenses up cannot release. Speak up during the session and your therapist will adjust.
Who books it
Guests with desk-related upper back and shoulder tension, people in physical trades, and anyone dealing with a stubborn area that has not resolved on its own. It is our most requested massage.
Tell your therapist where it lives
The single most useful thing you can do is be specific. "My right shoulder blade, especially when I turn my head" gets you a better session than "my back hurts." Your therapist will work from that.
Enhancements that support the work
Hot stones help muscles release before focused work, and hot and cold muscle therapy uses menthol and hot towels to soothe worked areas. Cupping lifts tissue for deep focal work. Any can be built into the session.
Cost and scheduling
