Casey Healing Wellness specializes in Deep Tissue Massage, a technique distinct for its ability to reach deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Ideal for addressing chronic muscle tension, and injury rehabilitation, Deep Tissue Massage is tailored to individual needs, ensuring a focused and effective treatment. The experienced therapists at Casey healing Wellness employ a variety of techniques to target specific areas, offering a truly customized experience.

Each massage is different. Some might be overall deep, and some might be what we call ‘deep specific’. Your massage is customized for your wellness journey and your preferences. Each treatment starts with sitting down with your therapist to discuss what you would like out of your session. Deep tissue techniques typically involve elbows, forearms and broad pressures, but they can also be a mix of other techniques depending on your preferences. Keep in mid that ‘deep’ is a subjective experience. One person’s deep could be another person’s ‘gentle’. For this reason, our therapists will communicate with you during the massage therapy  treatment to make sure you are comfortable.

Deep Tissue Massage is beneficial for a wide range of individuals, particularly those who are dealing with certain physical conditions or lifestyle factors. Here are some groups of people who can greatly benefit from this kind of massage:


  1. Athletes and Active Individuals: Athletes or those who engage in regular physical activity often experience muscle tension, strains, or sports injuries. Deep Tissue Massage helps alleviate muscle stiffness, improve flexibility, and aid in recovery from sports-related muscular injuries.
  2. Individuals with Chronic Pain: Those suffering from certain kinds of chronic pain conditions resulting from overuse can find relief through Deep Tissue Massage. This massage technique targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissues, helping to reduce pain and improve mobility.
  3. Those with high-stress levels: While it’s primarily known for its physical benefits, Deep Tissue Massage can also be quite effective for stress relief. It can help lower cortisol levels (a stress hormone), boost serotonin and oxytocin levels, promote relaxation, and improve mood.
  4. Individuals Recovering from Injuries: People who are recovering from accidents or surgeries often have scar tissue, which can cause stiffness and pain. Deep Tissue Massage can help you relax and move, enhancing healing and restoring range of motion. Deep tissue massage would be the second step in treatment after they have moved on from medical massage.

What to Expect During a Session

A typical Deep Tissue Massage session lasts about 60 to 90 minutes. You can expect to discuss your health history and treatment goals with the therapist. During the massage, the therapist will use techniques such as stripping, kneading, and trigger points to reach deeper muscle layers. It’s common to experience some discomfort, known as ‘good pain,’ which should be communicated to the therapist. After the session, you might feel some soreness for a day or two, which is a normal response of the body to deep tissue manipulation. Deep tissue can be booked through our Medical or therapeutic options.
