Deep tissue massage uses slow, firm pressure on the places that stay tight: upper back, neck, lower back, hips and legs. The therapist works on a few areas in depth instead of covering the whole body lightly.
Book 60 minutes at either studio. Bushwick also offers a 90-minute session.
Prices are set per studio. They come from the live booking system and can change; the booking screen shows the current price.
Need 90 minutes Downtown? Downtown doesn’t currently list a 90-minute deep tissue session. A 90-minute sports massage ($208) uses similar firm work, or book 90 minutes of deep tissue in Bushwick.
“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!”
“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.”

Tell your therapist where you feel tight, what makes it worse and any health conditions, injuries or medication.
Lighter strokes first so the muscles are ready for deeper work.
The therapist works gradually into the tight areas. You stay in control of the pressure.
Some tenderness for a day or two is common. Drink water and keep moving gently.

Deeper is not always better. Firm work should feel strong but bearable. Pain that makes you tense up or hold your breath means the pressure is too much, so say so.
Serious side effects from massage are rare, but they are more likely with very vigorous deep pressure, especially for older adults and people with some health conditions (NCCIH). That is why the check-in matters.
$145 for 60 minutes at Bushwick and $155 Downtown. Bushwick also offers 90 minutes for $198.
Not at the moment. Downtown lists the 60-minute session only. You can book 90 minutes of deep tissue in Bushwick, or a 90-minute sports massage Downtown.
Many people feel some tenderness for a day or two after firm work. It should ease on its own. If pain is sharp or lasts, contact a doctor.
There’s no set rule. Some people come every few weeks during a busy stretch; others book when tension builds up. Your therapist can suggest a rhythm based on how you respond.
Yes, at any time. If you find you want lighter work most of the time, a Swedish massage may suit you better.
