What is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage is a focused therapy that targets deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues. Unlike a traditional relaxation massage, this technique applies sustained pressure and slow strokes to release chronic tension and realign muscle fibres.

At Capital Chiropractic, our massage therapists don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you're an athlete seeking recovery or a desk worker with tight shoulders, we tailor every session to your condition, pain points, and goals.

Common conditions we treat include:

  • Chronic neck and back pain

  • Muscle stiffness from poor posture

  • Sports injuries and overuse conditions

  • Sciatica and nerve impingement

  • Tension headaches and jaw tightness
