Deep tissue massage in Downtown Brooklyn uses slow, firm pressure on the few areas that stay tight, instead of covering the whole body lightly.

Our studio is at 81 Willoughby St, close to MetroTech, Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO. Sessions are 60 minutes and cost $155, so it fits around a lunch break or the end of the workday.

Who books deep tissue at our Downtown studio

Common reasons

  • Neck and shoulder tension from long hours at a desk
  • Upper and lower back tightness that keeps coming back
  • Tight hips and legs from lifting or running
  • You prefer firm pressure and focused work

Talk to a doctor first if

  • You have a clotting disorder or take blood thinners
  • You have had recent surgery or a recent injury
  • You are pregnant (book a prenatal massage)
  • You have numbness or tingling that spreads down an arm or leg

How the 60 minutes work

  1. Check-in

    Tell your therapist where you feel tight, what makes it worse and about any health conditions or medication.

  2. Warm-up

    Lighter strokes first, so the muscles are ready for deeper work.

  3. Focused pressure

    Slow, firm work on the areas you chose. You stay in control of the pressure.

  4. Back to your day

    Some tenderness for a day or two is common. Drink water and keep moving gently.

What clients say

“Had a swedish massage done by Delena. Very good and professional service. She asked beforehand about any special conditions and areas of focus. And also asked at various times during the massage if I wanted the pressure to be adjusted. Delena did a great job and I would come back!”
Chris Oh · Downtown Brooklyn · Google review
“I try out various massage spots but this one is a keeper. … Even during the massage my therapist made sure they were getting the spots I requested, offering to focus on those areas longer.”
